EP 49: What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You w/ Cynthia Sumner
What if the symptoms your body is experiencing… are actually messages asking you to heal from the root?
In this powerful and heart-opening episode, Anniston Riekstins sits down with Dr. Cynthia Sumner, Doctor of Natural Medicine and emotional wellness guide, to explore the deep connection between emotions, hormones, and physical health.
With over 27 years of experience, Cynthia shares how many of the challenges women face—burnout, fatigue, anxiety, and hormone imbalance—are often rooted in unprocessed emotions and chronic stress.
Together, they unpack how emotional healing, whole-food nutrition, and understanding your natural cycle can help women move from survival to true vitality, especially through midlife and menopause.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
➡️ Why many physical symptoms have emotional root causes
➡️ How suppressed emotions impact the body and hormones
➡️ Simple self-inquiry questions to process emotions
➡️ Why midlife can be a powerful reset—not a crisis
➡️ How adrenal fatigue and stress affect women in midlife

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body, this conversation will help you understand what your body might be asking for—and how to begin healing from within.
