What if the reason you're tired, craving sugar, snapping at people, or crying unexpectedly isn’t because you’re broken… but because your body’s basic needs aren’t being met?

In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr. Anthea Todd introduces the Toddler Test — a simple 5-step check-in to help you decode your body’s signals before spiraling into fear, shame, or confusion.

Just like a toddler can’t tell you what they need in words, your body uses symptoms to speak. And when you respond with curiosity instead of control, your body softens, responds, and heals.

You’ll Learn:

• The 5 questions that make up the Toddler Test
• How to know if your fatigue is physical or emotional
• Why that 3pm sugar craving isn’t about willpower
• The surprising link between loneliness and food cravings
• What “playing outside” does for your metabolism & nervous system
• Why your body’s signals aren’t random — they’re brilliant

It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s a game-changer for women who want to respond with care, not control.

We’ve been told that menopause is the beginning of the end — hot flushes, low libido, mood swings, and a “decline” in health. But what if that’s a lie you’ve been sold?

In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd is joined by women’s health expert Nat Kringoudis to unpack the truth about perimenopause and menopause. Together, they reveal what’s really driving the rise in debilitating symptoms — and how to approach this stage of life with strength, balance, and vitality.

You’ll learn:

• Why today’s women are experiencing menopause differently than our grandmothers
• The role stress, cortisol, and modern living play in hormone imbalance
• Why “common” symptoms like heavy bleeding, low mood, and exhaustion aren’t actually normal
• What your liver, gut, and nervous system have to do with estrogen dominance
• How lifestyle choices like lifting heavy weights and stress regulation trump everything else — even HRT

This isn’t about medicalising a natural transition. It’s about giving your body what it truly needs so you can step into perimenopause and beyond feeling strong, vibrant, and in control.

Your period isn’t random. Every symptom — from heavy bleeding and clotting to PMS, pain, or irregular cycles — is your body sending you a message.

In this solo episode, Dr Anthea Todd breaks down the top six period symptoms and what they reveal about your hormones, your fundamentals, and your overall health. Rather than offering a “quick fix,” she helps you understand the root causes behind your cycle changes — and how to support your body in practical, lasting ways.

You’ll learn:

• What heavy, light, or irregular periods signal about your hormones
• The link between PMS/PMDD, progesterone, and blood sugar regulation
• Why painful periods often point to inflammation, prostaglandins, or endometriosis
• The connection between stress, thyroid health, and lighter cycles
• How spotting, clots, and other cycle changes map back to your Four Female Fundamentals™

Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating. This episode will help you translate your period symptoms into powerful signals you can finally understand.

Lauren’s symptoms came on suddenly—dizziness, fatigue, heart palpitations, and pain. Then came the diagnosis: Graves’ disease.

But this isn’t just a story about an autoimmune condition—it’s a story about what happens when a woman stops outsourcing her intuition and starts trusting her body.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Lauren’s path from burnout to autoimmune diagnosis
• What Graves’ disease really feels like—and how easily it can be missed
• The emotional and environmental contributors to autoimmune flares
• How she blended medical, functional, and energetic healing (including acupuncture, celery juice, frequency therapy, and more)
• Her return to remission—just six months after her diagnosis

Whether you're struggling with an autoimmune condition or just feel dismissed and exhausted, this story will help you reconnect with your power—and your body.

Ever feel like you’ve been pushing through for too long—holding it all together while your body keeps sending you signals you can’t ignore? You’re not alone.

In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd sits down with therapist and social worker Tiffani Clingin, who brings both decades of clinical experience and profound lived wisdom after navigating devastating personal loss and betrayal.

Together, Anthea and Tiffani explore what happens when “just staying strong” isn’t working—and why compassion, not willpower, is the way through. Tiffani shares the practices that helped her get out of bed after her son’s death, the “oscillation” method that allows space for both grief and relief, and the tiny rituals (like her “just put your shoes on” rule) that can carry us through the hardest days.

From the pressure to hold it all together, to the healing power of self-compassion, this conversation offers both validation and practical tools. You’ll also hear how to support others in crisis without overstepping, how to separate fact from story when your mind spirals, and why falling apart doesn’t mean you’re failing—it can mean you’re healing.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t keep pushing but don’t know what else to do, this episode is a gentle reminder: you’re not broken, and you don’t have to do it alone.

In this episode of What’s My Body Telling Me?, Dr Anthea Todd dives deep into the topic of change — why it can feel exciting, why it often feels uncomfortable, and how you can work with your body to move through it with more ease.

From the neuroscience of the brain’s three networks (body, story, action) to the astrological themes of eclipses and cycles, Dr Anthea weaves science and spirituality into a simple framework that helps you stop feeling stuck and start creating change in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming.

You’ll learn:

• Why eclipses often coincide with recurring patterns in relationships, careers, and life transitions
• How your brain defaults to “story mode” — and why that can leave you paralysed, procrastinating, or ruminating
• The role of the body as the remote control for creating change
• How to shift from story into action using simple body-based practices
• Why self-compassion is crucial for sustainable, grounded transformation

Whether you’re navigating a small decision or a life-altering transition, this episode will give you the tools to listen to your body, shift your perspective, and take action that feels aligned.
