You’re Not Broken: Understanding Your Body, Stress, and Real Healing

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts are joined by Dr. Lisa Palmer for a grounded conversation about why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, inflamed, or disconnected from their bodies — and why that doesn’t mean they’re broken.

Dr. Palmer shares her perspective on how stress, lifestyle, and modern expectations impact the nervous system, digestion, hormones, and overall well-being. Together, they explore why many health approaches focus on fixing symptoms instead of supporting the body’s foundational needs, and how healing begins when the body feels safe, supported, and consistently cared for.

This episode reframes symptoms as signals, not failures, and offers a more compassionate approach to health — one rooted in awareness, simplicity, and meeting your body where it is instead of fighting it.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you, or wondered why nothing seems to “stick” no matter how hard you try, this conversation will help you better understand what your body is asking for — and how to respond.

On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.
