Previous Episode

Ep1: Your Body Knows Best
In the inaugural episode of Your Body Speaks, Dr. Brook Sheehan dives deep into the idea that "The Body Knows Best." Drawing from her personal experiences and professional background as a chiropractor, Dr. Brook emphasizes the incredible intelligence of the human body—its ability to self-heal, self-organize, and self-regulate. She passionately challenges the traditional notion that external sources always hold the key to our health and wellness, advocating instead for tuning into our own bodies to unlock our greatest health potential.
Key Takeaways:
- Trust Your Body's Intelligence: Dr. Brook shares how the body is an awe-inspiring, self-regulating masterpiece, designed by our Creator to heal and thrive. By learning to listen to its cues and whispers, we can begin to interpret the signals that guide us toward optimal health.
- Moving from Fear to Faith: Often, we are conditioned to fear the unknown signals from our body, assuming the worst-case scenario. Dr. Brook encourages listeners to shift from fear to faith, trusting the body’s wisdom and understanding that not all symptoms are as dire as we might think.
- Personal Journey to Natural Health: Dr. Brook recounts her personal health journey, including her upbringing in a conventional medical family, her experience with cerebral palsy, and how these shaped her shift to a more holistic approach to wellness. Her journey from consumerism—following every external health trend and supplement—to tuning into her body’s specific needs serves as a powerful example of how to cultivate true health.
- The Power of Innate Intelligence: A core belief in chiropractic care is the concept of innate intelligence—the body’s inborn wisdom that operates from conception to our last breath. Dr. Brook explains how this intelligence is not solely centered in the brain, but in every system of the body, like the cardiovascular system forming before the brain during fetal development.
- Less is More: Dr. Brook discusses the importance of not overwhelming the body with too much external intervention—be it supplements or dietary changes. Sometimes, doing less and listening more can be the most powerful approach to healing.
Memorable Moments:
- The analogy of comparing our body’s signals to a car making a strange noise—how fear of the unknown leads us to panic unnecessarily.
- Dr. Brook's emotional recounting of how her mild cerebral palsy, caused by lack of oxygen during birth, inspired her to pursue a natural childbirth for her own child and ultimately led her to the holistic health space.
- Her powerful realization that the body does not need excessive external input; rather, it thrives when we give it exactly what it needs and no more.
What to Expect in Future Episodes:
Listeners can look forward to educational episodes where Dr. Brook will break down complex health concepts into relatable, easy-to-understand analogies. She will guide you in learning how to interpret the body’s signals, empowering you to take charge of your health and live more vibrantly.
Quote of the Episode:
“The body is an incredible self-healing, self-organizing, self-regulating masterpiece. If we truly learn to decipher its cues, we begin to unlock a new level of health and vitality we’ve never experienced before.”

- Generalized Achiness: It might be linked to immune response or hormonal fluctuations, especially in women. Discover supportive dietary and holistic approaches to manage this.
