Adaptive Biology, Not a Broken Body: Why “complicated” health issues are often intelligent responses

So many women are led to believe their body is broken when weight loss, hormones, digestion, or energy feel increasingly “complicated.” When the usual strategies stop working, the narrative quickly shifts to dysfunction, failure, or the idea that something about their body in particular, must be "broken" or "defective". But more often than not, the body isn’t malfunctioning - it’s adapting.

This episode explores the difference between the broken body narrative and the reality of adaptive biology. Symptoms are not random or rebellious; they are intelligent responses to cumulative stress, restriction, under-recovery, and years of pressure placed on the system. When we ignore that context and attempt to override the body with more control or more force (onslaughts of hacks, protocols, peptides, supplements, etc) we often create even more resistance.

By reframing health through the lens of adaptation rather than failure, we can begin to approach healing with strategy and wisdom instead of urgency. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing band aids and start rooting out solutions, through understanding your body’s signals. Because meaningful, sustainable change doesn’t come from fighting your biology, but from working with it.
