Episode #4: Why Am I So Tired? The Link Between Gut, Hormones & Energy

Why Am I So Tired? A Relatable Story About Gut Health, Hormones & Energy

In this deeply honest and validating episode, Dr. Anthea Todd is joined by Amna—our first relatable story guest—who opens up about her personal health journey, the frustrations of being dismissed by the system, and what it’s really like to feel exhausted and unheard.

From heavy periods and hair loss to thyroid dysfunction and constant fatigue, Amna shares the emotional and physical toll of navigating her health without clear answers. Her story is one so many women will relate to—and a reminder that your symptoms aren’t “just in your head.”

Together, Dr. Anthea and Amna explore how conventional care can miss the bigger picture, and what happens when you finally start trusting your body as the expert.

This episode will meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, insight, and hope.

You’ll Hear About:

• The emotional toll of not being believed or taken seriously by doctors

• The impact of thyroid dysfunction, low iron, and undiagnosed hormone imbalances

• Why a diagnosis can feel validating—but shouldn’t become your identity

• How Amna started rebuilding her health with naturopathy, diet, and nervous system support

• The shift that happens when you stop waiting for external validation—and listen to your body

• Real, grounded advice for anyone feeling dismissed, gaslit, or overwhelmed

• Why investing in your health (even out-of-pocket) can be life-changing

“It seems achievable now—because I’ve had a taste of what feeling good actually feels like.” — Amna
