  Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something with Dr. Emily Roedersheimer | #10

  Jun 24, 202650 min

  Have you ever wondered if the symptoms you're fighting are actually messages you're meant to hear? In this deeply insightful conversation, Dr. Emily Rödersheimer shares how a lifelong battle with rheumatoid arthritis led her to question everything she thought she knew about health. After discovering functional medicine and healing her own body, she left conventional primary care behind to help women uncover the root causes of their symptoms instead of simply managing them. Together, Sabine and Dr. Emily explore the powerful connection between chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, people-pleasing, unprocessed emotions, and physical health. They discuss why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted despite doing everything "right" and how healing often begins not by doing more, but by slowing down and listening. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your body is not the problem, but the messenger • How chronic stress can mimic being chased by a lion • The surprising health costs of perfectionism and people-pleasing • Simple ways to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself • Why healing starts with self-trust, not self-criticism If you've been pushing through fatigue, ignoring your body's signals, or wondering why doing more never seems to be enough, this conversation is your invitation to pause, listen, and rediscover the wisdom that's been inside you all along.
