  • UPDATED WEEKLY

In a world obsessed with doing more, your body speaks is where you’ll finally learn how to do less and heal more. This podcast is for women who’ve done “everything right” yet still feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Hosted by Dr. Brook Sheehan, chiropractor, functional health practitioner, and creator of the bodyOS framework, her journey began much like the women she now helps. For years, Brook lived disconnected from her body, chasing every new health hack and “fix” in search of balance. What started as a genuine desire to feel better spiraled into an obsession with doing more, tracking, restricting, pushing, performing. It wasn’t until she paused long enough to listen that everything changed. Through that shift, she discovered that healing isn’t about control, it’s about connection. Now, she helps other women move from overwhelm to trust, from striving to peace, and from force to flow. You’ll learn how to listen to your body’s signals, trust what it’s telling you, and heal naturally through the four pillars of whole-body health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Each episode blends science, soul, and practical strategy to help you stop forcing your body to perform and start flowing with how you were designed to thrive. It’s time to tune out the noise of modern wellness, find peace in your process, and rediscover what wholeness feels like because when you learn to listen to your body, trust it, and heal naturally, healing isn’t forced... it flows. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brook Sheehan: Website → www.drbrooksheehan.com ** Disclaimer: The information shared on your body speaks is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.

    33: Healing Without Perfection: Cancer, Gut Health & Accessible Wellness ft. Aly French

    What happens when two women walk through life-altering health challenges… and decide to talk about it instead of hiding it? In this powerful and grounded conversation, I’m joined by Aly French, co-founder of the Courageous Wellness Podcast and Collective. Aly shares the deeply personal story of her rare cancer diagnosis at 29, how she caught it early, and how that experience shaped her relationship with her body. We also explore how Aly and her co-host Erica Stein (who experienced a 50-pound weight loss and the unexpected emotional aftermath) built Courageous Wellness — a platform focused on inclusivity, accessibility, and realistic health. This conversation goes far beyond trends and biohacking. We talk about: Why wellness doesn’t have to be extreme to be effectiveThe problem with inaccessible “optimized” health cultureWhat most people are getting wrong about gut and hormone healthThe power of protein + fiber (yes, it can be that simple)Why small shifts create massive changeHow to care deeply about health without turning it into self-judgmentListening to your body through different seasons of lifeIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by wellness noise… If you’ve ever thought, “It can’t be this simple”… If you’ve ever needed permission to stop chasing perfection… This episode is for you.

    32: When Gut Issues Aren’t About Food: The Stress–Digestion Connection

    What if your gut symptoms aren’t just about food—or detox protocols—but about something deeper your body has been trying to say all along? In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook continues the conversation from last week’s discussion on detox safety by exploring gut signals through the lens of the four pillars of health: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental. Through a vulnerable personal story and clear, practical guidance, Dr. Brook explains why unresolved stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation can directly impact digestion—and why chasing diets and detoxes alone can keep you stuck. You’ll learn how to tell whether your gut symptoms are reacting to food or stress, why confusing the two leads to more overwhelm, and how to take simple, body-led steps toward clarity instead of control. This episode is an invitation to stop guessing, stop overriding your body, and start listening with discernment and trust. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why gut issues aren’t always rooted in food—even when symptoms feel physicalHow chronic stress and trauma affect digestion through the vagus nerveThe difference between food-led vs. stress-led gut symptomsWhy detoxes and supplements can fail when emotional and nervous system signals are ignoredSimple questions to ask your body when gut symptoms show upGentle next steps to support digestion without chasing protocolsHow the four pillars of health work together to restore clarity and safety in the bodyHelpful Resources Mentioned: Body Signal Decoder – Walk through gut-related signals step by step using the Pause.

    31: Why Diets, Detoxes, and Supplements Aren’t Fixing Your Gut ft. Dr. Kate Davis

    We are in for a powerful and honest conversation today. In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Dr. Kate Davis, a functional medicine doctor whose personal healing journey completely reshaped the way she approaches gut health, detoxification, and chronic illness. What began as unexplained constipation and bloating in her early 20s eventually revealed a much deeper story—one involving parasites, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and the danger of chasing quick fixes without addressing foundational function. Together, we unpack why so many people feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” how diet and supplements often fall short, and why unguided detoxes can actually make things worse. This conversation is honest, educational, and deeply reassuring for anyone who has felt overwhelmed, confused, or discouraged on their health journey. In this episode, we discuss: Why chronic gut issues are rarely just about foodHow stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion and immunityThe hidden danger of jumping into parasite cleanses or detoxes without proper drainage supportWhy symptoms disappearing doesn’t always mean true healing has happenedHow liver, gallbladder, and gut function must be restored before killing infectionsWhy supplements often don’t work when absorption pathways are compromisedHow to recognize health misinformation and avoid “one-size-fits-all” solutionsWhat it actually means to heal the body from the inside outHow learning to listen to your body builds trust, resilience, and long-term healthThis episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing things in the right order, with wisdom, patience, and support. Connect with Dr. Kate Davis: You can find Dr. Kate on Instagram at @drkatedavis, where she shares daily education on gut health, nervous system regulation, and safe detox strategies. 🎁 Podcast listener bonus: DM “100” to @drkatedavis on Instagram to receive $100 off an initial consult + labs bundle. ✨ Ready to shift from fear to faith in your body?

    30: When “Healthy” Becomes Too Much: The Problem With Over-Optimizing Your Body

    We are living in the loudest era of health noise in history — and for many women, that noise is doing more harm than good. In this episode, Dr. Brook breaks down why over-optimizing your health can actually keep you stuck, depleted, and disconnected from your body. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things — supplements, therapies, routines, protocols — and still feel overwhelmed or unwell, this conversation is for you. Instead of piling on more strategies, Dr. Brook introduces a “less is more” approach to healing, rooted in listening, discernment, and rebuilding a relationship with your body. You’ll learn why healing often begins with doing less, how to filter health noise without fear, and a simple daily practice to start hearing what your body is actually asking for. In This Episode, We Cover: Why more health information doesn’t equal more clarityWhat over-optimization really looks like (and why it sneaks up on well-intentioned women)How constant protocols, supplements, and therapies can drain your body’s resourcesWhy your body doesn’t respond to pressure — only safety and trustThe hidden cost of “doing everything right”How to begin rebuilding a relationship with your body through stillnessA simple “this or that” practice to help you start listening without overwhelmWhy healing often starts with subtraction, not additionKey Takeaways: Healing doesn’t always require doing more — often it requires doing lessYour body is not confused or broken; it’s crowded out by noiseOver-optimizing can pull resources away from what your body actually needsMore protocols don’t mean better outcomes — discernment doesListening is a skill that’s built through small, safe, daily practicesYour body guides with peace, not pressureSimple Practice to Try This Week: Practice the “this or that” check-in once or twice a day with low-stakes decisions (like food, movement, or routines). Pause for 10–15 seconds. Notice sensations — not answers. No forcing. No overthinking. Just awareness. This is how trust is built.

    28: 3 Ways You’re Hurting Your Body Without Realizing It (And How to Stop)

    What if the way you’re trying to “take care” of your body is actually creating more stress, disconnection, and self-criticism than support? In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook unpacks a powerful but often overlooked question: Are you treating your body with honor—or unintentionally harming it through control, pressure, and external rules? Building on the recent conversation around body image, this episode shifts the focus to how we treat our bodies day to day—through food choices, rest, self-talk, and whose voice we trust when it comes to health. Rather than another mindset reset, this is about practical, embodied respect—learning how love for your body shows up in real life. In this episode, you’ll learn: The 3 most common ways women unknowingly dishonor their bodiesMoralizing food and vilifying eatingPushing through exhaustion and depletionOutsourcing your body’s wisdom to external voices and dataWhy your body doesn’t function well under fear, control, or rigid rulesHow over-optimization culture quietly erodes trust and creates overwhelmThe difference between helpful information and giving away authority over your bodyThe 3 ways to begin honoring your body todayListening to signals as information—not problemsPracticing daily gratitude to create nervous system safetySpeaking to your body with respect instead of criticismWhy trust with your body is built the same way as any relationship—over time, through consistency and kindnessDr. Brook also shares a simple 7-day practice to help you shift the tone of your inner dialogue and begin rebuilding a healthier, more grounded relationship with your body—without extremes, guilt, or obsession.

    27: Compared to Who? How to Stop Obsessing Over Your Body ft. Heather Creekmore

    Is body image a “confidence issue”… or an idol in disguise? In this episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook sits down with Heather Creekmore—host of the Compared to Who? podcast and author of the 40-Day Body Image Workbook—for a powerful conversation about body image, comparison, and the subtle ways women place their bodies where only God belongs. Heather shares her story—from early dieting and disordered eating patterns to realizing that “fixing” her body would never bring the peace she was chasing. Together, they unpack how body image struggles aren’t solved by becoming “better,” but by returning to identity in Christ and learning to treat the body as a God-designed gift—not a project to perfect. You’ll learn: How body image struggle can function as modern-day idolatryWhy “better body = better life” is a lie (even for the most “fit” women)The subtle way women delay spiritual growth until they “feel better” in their bodiesHow to spot the lies you’ve normalized—and replace them with God’s truthThe difference between listening to the soma (God-designed body) vs. the sarx (flesh-driven cravings)One simple first step to start breaking agreement with comparisonHeather also shares a practical way she’s learned to “listen” to her body in a new way—starting with blood sugar and regular nourishment—after years of ignoring signals.
