You know those symptoms you keep brushing off? The reflux you treat with Tums. The neck tension you blame on sleeping wrong. The brain fog you chalk up to a busy season. What if none of it is what you think it is?

In this episode, Alli shares the story of 2017, when her body started sounding alarms she refused to hear, and what shifted when she finally paid attention. She walks through ten low-grade symptoms high-achieving women normalize, explains the science behind why stress shows up physically, and gives you practical tools to start asking better questions about what your body is trying to say.
