In this episode, I welcome back a long-time favourite guest, Lara Briden, making her third appearance on the podcast. Known for her work as a leading hormone expert and women's health advocate, Lara brings something new to the table this time - a refreshing and much-needed reality check for those of us caught in the spiral of wellness overwhelm. We go beyond the usual hormone chat to explore the growing trend of turning every bodily symptom into a crisis - and how this culture of fear and perfectionism affects women, especially those with high-functioning anxiety. If you've ever felt pressure to reach some mythical state of "perfect health" or found yourself obsessively monitoring your symptoms, this episode is a gentle reminder that your body might actually be okay - even if it's doing something weird. Together, Lara and I explore: ✅ A leading hormone expert's powerful reminder that you might actually be okay ✅ Why there's so much unnecessary fear around hormone health ✅ How high-functioning anxiety can drive obsessive health monitoring ✅ The dangers of wellness overwhelm - and how to come back to a more intuitive, less fear-based approach It's honest, practical, and freeing.
