Melissa Beaton shares a letter written to her colleagues about her personal journey as a psychologist with ADHD, addressing the prejudice and biases she's experienced within the mental health profession.

• Struggling with executive dysfunction throughout life despite extensive therapy and personal development
• Initially attributing difficulties to early life experiences, attachment disruptions, and possible brain injury
• Discovering ADHD diagnosis later in life after realizing something still wasn't right
• Experiencing shame and judgment from colleagues after diagnosis
• Finding that medication transformed daily functioning and self-perception
• Advocating for acceptance of how patients identify rather than trying to change them
• Combining psychological approaches (ISTDP and IFS) with ADHD treatment for comprehensive improvement

What if your body isn't betraying you, but actually trying to send you a message?

Dr Anthea Todd, founder of Female Fundamentals and best-selling author of "What's My Body Telling Me," joins us for a fascinating exploration of body wisdom and the four fundamental pillars that can transform your health when conventional medicine falls short.

Drawing from her background in chiropractic care and dual master's degrees in women's health and reproductive medicine, Dr Todd shares her personal and professional journey of discovering what happens when we get caught in what she calls "the space between" – where you're not sick enough for medical intervention, yet far from feeling vital and alive. It's in this space where so many women struggle with symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, hair loss, and mood disorders despite being told all their tests look "normal."

The conversation takes unexpected turns as we delve into practical strategies for reconnecting with your body's intelligence. Learn why doing things that genuinely make you feel alive is more important than ticking wellness boxes, how morning and evening sunlight exposure dramatically impacts your hormones, why electrolytes might be more important than that supplement routine, and how balancing blood sugar could be the missing key to your energy and mood issues.

Dr Todd explains complex concepts with refreshing clarity – from how ketosis generates 400 times more cellular energy than carbohydrate metabolism to how our "default mode network" keeps us trapped in unhelpful stories about ourselves. Her perspective on symptoms as messages rather than problems to eliminate offers a paradigm shift in how we approach health challenges.

Whether you're battling unexplained symptoms, feeling overwhelmed by contradictory health advice, or simply seeking to optimize your wellbeing, this episode delivers both scientific insights and practical wisdom to help you tune into what your body is really telling you.

Our host is Melissa Beaton, Clinical & Forensic Psychologist, Founder of Zenso House.
