Episode Details

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram looking for one health answer and suddenly found yourself wondering if you have high cortisol, a hormone imbalance, parasites, or five other things you had never worried about before?

There is so much noise in the health and wellness space, and it can leave us feeling like our bodies are another problem we need to solve.

In this episode of Anchored with Purpose, Melissa sits down with Dr. Brook Sheehan, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and creator of Body OS, for an honest conversation about health overwhelm, listening to your body, and letting go of the pressure to constantly fix yourself.

Brook shares her own journey from feeling disconnected from her body to becoming hyper-focused on controlling her health, food, exercise, and environment. Eventually, she realized she needed to stop fighting her body and begin building a relationship with it.

If you've been craving space to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, dream again, and make intentional plans for what comes next, I'd love to invite you to Unplugged: An Anchored with Purpose Retreat in the Adirondacks.

Come unplug, breathe, dream, connect, and make space for what God may be inviting you into next.
