We are living in the loudest era of health noise in history — and for many women, that noise is doing more harm than good.

In this episode, Dr. Brook breaks down why over-optimizing your health can actually keep you stuck, depleted, and disconnected from your body. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things — supplements, therapies, routines, protocols — and still feel overwhelmed or unwell, this conversation is for you.

Instead of piling on more strategies, Dr. Brook introduces a “less is more” approach to healing, rooted in listening, discernment, and rebuilding a relationship with your body. You’ll learn why healing often begins with doing less, how to filter health noise without fear, and a simple daily practice to start hearing what your body is actually asking for.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why more health information doesn’t equal more clarity
• What over-optimization really looks like (and why it sneaks up on well-intentioned women)
• How constant protocols, supplements, and therapies can drain your body’s resources
• Why your body doesn’t respond to pressure — only safety and trust
• The hidden cost of “doing everything right”
• How to begin rebuilding a relationship with your body through stillness
• A simple “this or that” practice to help you start listening without overwhelm
• Why healing often starts with subtraction, not addition

Key Takeaways:

• Healing doesn’t always require doing more — often it requires doing less
• Your body is not confused or broken; it’s crowded out by noise
• Over-optimizing can pull resources away from what your body actually needs
• More protocols don’t mean better outcomes — discernment does
• Listening is a skill that’s built through small, safe, daily practices
• Your body guides with peace, not pressure

Simple Practice to Try This Week:

Practice the “this or that” check-in once or twice a day with low-stakes decisions (like food, movement, or routines).
Pause for 10–15 seconds.
Notice sensations — not answers.
No forcing. No overthinking. Just awareness.

This is how trust is built.
