Why High-Achieving Women Struggle to Ask for Help (And How It's Making You Sick)

I had the most fascinating conversation with Dr. Lé Santha Naidoo about something I see constantly in my practice: high-achieving women who've learned to "handle everything" but struggle to receive help—and how this pattern can literally make us sick. Dr. Naidoo is triple-board certified and author of "Fat to Fabulous," but what struck me most was her vulnerability in sharing her own healing journey. After losing a pregnancy in a car accident, she suffered 9 years of undiagnosed pain. When she finally had surgery, her community showed up in ways she never expected—and their support accelerated her healing more than any prescription could. We dive deep into how childhood trauma creates patterns that affect our health decades later, why purpose matters more than hormones for many symptoms, and how community support isn't just nice to have—it's essential medicine. If you've ever felt like you need to "have it all together," this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about strength and healing.
