We are in for a powerful and honest conversation today.

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Dr. Kate Davis, a functional medicine doctor whose personal healing journey completely reshaped the way she approaches gut health, detoxification, and chronic illness. What began as unexplained constipation and bloating in her early 20s eventually revealed a much deeper story—one involving parasites, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and the danger of chasing quick fixes without addressing foundational function.

Together, we unpack why so many people feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” how diet and supplements often fall short, and why unguided detoxes can actually make things worse. This conversation is honest, educational, and deeply reassuring for anyone who has felt overwhelmed, confused, or discouraged on their health journey.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why chronic gut issues are rarely just about food
• How stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion and immunity
• The hidden danger of jumping into parasite cleanses or detoxes without proper drainage support
• Why symptoms disappearing doesn’t always mean true healing has happened
• How liver, gallbladder, and gut function must be restored before killing infections
• Why supplements often don’t work when absorption pathways are compromised
• How to recognize health misinformation and avoid “one-size-fits-all” solutions
• What it actually means to heal the body from the inside out
• How learning to listen to your body builds trust, resilience, and long-term health

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing things in the right order, with wisdom, patience, and support.

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.

In today’s episode of your body speaks, Dr. Brook sits down with Chelsea Blackbird—Christian health practitioner, host of the Christian Health Club Podcast, and co-founder of the School of Christian Health & Nutrition—for a powerful conversation on self-stewardship as an act of worship.

Chelsea shares her personal health journey (from chronic skin and digestive issues + “unexplained infertility” to healing through diet and lifestyle shifts), and how God led her to connect scripture with real, practical health guidance. Together, they unpack why the “noisy wellness world” leaves women overwhelmed—and how returning to God’s original design (real food, natural light, sleep, breath, Sabbath, and community) can restore your body’s rhythms and your peace.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• Chelsea’s journey from corporate recruiter to Christian health practitioner—and what sparked the shift
• How nutrition and lifestyle changes supported fertility, gut health, and chronic skin symptoms
• What it means to view wellness as worship (and why that changes everything)
• Why simple biblical rhythms matter more than trendy, conflicting health advice
• Chelsea’s “Genesis Prescription” framework: sunlight, water, real food, movement, breath, rest, and community
• What quantum biology actually means (in simple terms)
• How natural light impacts cortisol, melatonin, sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism
• Why artificial blue light at night can disrupt your body’s healing processes
• The “whisper → stern voice → slap upside the head” pattern of body signals—and how to listen sooner
• How to start small without overwhelm (seconds and minutes count)

Memorable Quotes

• “There’s no better expert in the world than the Creator of your body.”
• “Your body is always on your side—working for you, not against you.”
• “Wellness as worship is a whole different vibe… and it sticks for a greater purpose.”
