Episode #6: You Are Not Your Diagnosis: How to Trust Your Body and Rewrite Your Healing Story

You Are Not Your Diagnosis: How to Trust Your Body and Rewrite Your Healing Story

In this expansive and empowering episode, Dr. Anthea Todd is joined by medical doctor and psycho-neuro-immunologist Dr. Olivia Lesslar for a deeply validating conversation about healing beyond labels.

Together, they explore how your thoughts, environment, emotions—and most importantly, your relationship with your body—shape your health in profound ways.

This isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about reclaiming your power and learning to trust the quiet intelligence of your body again, especially if you’ve ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or reduced to a diagnosis.

Whether you've been told "everything is fine" or are carrying multiple labels like autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, or anxiety—this episode is a reminder that you are not broken. And healing is absolutely possible.

You’ll Hear About:

• What psycho-neuro-immunology actually is—and how it changes everything

• Why conventional care often fails women with complex symptoms

• How your mind, immune system, hormones, and emotions form a constant feedback loop

• The danger of over-identifying with a diagnosis (and how to shift your narrative)

• Why symptom suppression can keep you stuck in illness

• Tools to build “alert without alarm” in your nervous system

• Rituals, somatic practices, and grounded ways to build trust with your body again

• The power of being consistent, compassionate, and curious

• Why your symptoms are messages—not malfunctions

“You have so much control over the feelings you generate within your body—not just emotions, but physical experiences too. When something pops up, it’s your body speaking to you. Build a beautiful relationship with it.” — Dr. Olivia Lesslar
