Female Fundamentals It's time Women's Health had a makeover. Helping the women trapped 'in the space between'. TSOM was founded by Australian health practitioner Dr Anthea Todd. OMG.

She created TSOM after having many female patients, friends and family complain of the same core issue… ’This [insert problem] is happening and I don’t know why and/or what I should do next’. Put simply, We’re not confident with our health. Why should we be? Our education stops at our first period and safe sex, what about the other stuff? Like things to add to your diet in menopause to help prevent alzheimers? Why are you spotting through your cycle? Is your contraception contributing to your anxiety? That’s where TSOM comes in. Fun Health Care?! So much of healthcare for women is only focused on what our bikini hides, our Coochie and Tatas. It’s often stressful, uber confusing and intimidating. We get tossed from doctors appointment to doctors appointment, not really knowing what’s going on, hoping to sweet baby Jesus that the next person will figure out what’s wrong with us. Yuck right?!

*Sadly we don’t have a solution for the less than fun but completely necessary pap smear, yet.*

So ‘what if’ we could make it a whole lot simpler? Less stressful. Fun even? Fun, Empowered, Healthy. We don’t promise to solve all of your problems, we’re not THE Messiah. We do however promise to give you the information and tools you need to to slay anything life has to throw at you. TSOM gives women the confidence to make informed health decisions through our simple, fun, empowering information and resources. Starting with understanding how your body changes throughout the month AND your life. Think; knowing which contraception is right for you. What to ask in your Doctors appointments for endometriosis. Why your male partner can lose weight so much quicker (that bastard!) and how you can best eat for your female cells. How you can exercise without messing with your hormones. Mainstream diets, exercise fads, and health information is used for both men and women, that’s like trying to drive a motorbike the same way as a car. It gets us from A to B and has similar parts but they work differently and need to be driven differently. No time for confusion. Our products and resources focus on giving women confidence with their healthcare. Simplicity is key. If you’re 12 year old daughter or niece can’t understand it, we don’t share it. No Baloney. We’re not here to tout the miracles of unicorn dust, or lima poop. We’re serious about giving you evidence backed information, in super simple, hold the mumbo-jumbo terms.

So many women with PCOS share the same story — feeling dismissed, unheard, and frustrated when no one seems to listen or understand what’s really going on.

That was Mimi’s experience too… until she finally learned to understand her body and give it what it was asking for. Now she knows what her body needs, why her symptoms change, and how to respond instead of react.

This was such a beautiful transformation to hear — from navigating overwhelming symptoms, to finally finding the right support, to rebuilding trust with her body. The way Mimi’s relationship with her body has shifted from the beginning of her journey to where she is now is inspirational.

Experiencing menstrual migraines? Instead of just treating the symptom, we need to understand why they’re happening — and what your body is really asking for.

In the latest episode, “Menstrual Migraines: What’s My Body Telling Me?”, I explore the rhythm your body is calling for — how aligning with it can support your metabolism, hormones, and overall balance.

Your body isn’t working against you. It’s communicating with you — and when we start listening, everything begins to make more sense. Let’s tune into our body, episode now live on the What’s My Body Telling Me? podcast 💛

You’ve had the iron supplements. Maybe even the infusion. But you still feel tired, foggy, or breathless. And trying to find the solution feels tiring in itself?

So what’s really going on?

Iron is just one piece of the puzzle. Your body also needs the right balance of other minerals to absorb and use that iron effectively. Without that support, the fatigue and headaches can keep showing up — even when your blood tests say everything looks “normal.”

In my latest episode, “Menstrual Migraines: What’s My Body Telling Me?”, I dive into how deficiencies, stress, and mineral imbalances can all play a role in cycle-related symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and migraines — and how to start understanding what your body is really asking for.

Should we all be taking magnesium? ✨

Magnesium is incredible, it helps our muscles relax, supports energy production, and plays a role in hundreds of body processes. But what if you’re not actually deficient?
I get asked this all the time: “What supplements should I take? Do I really need this one?”

Your symptoms can offer clues, but without testing, it’s still guesswork. Functional testing takes out the guesswork, showing you exactly what your body needs, and what it doesn’t.

It’s not about trying everything. It’s about listening to your body, testing instead of guessing, and making changes that truly support your health. It’s not always about doing more — sometimes it’s about doing less, but giving your body what it actually needs.

Episode 28: How To Heal Without Pushing So Hard is now live on the What’s My Body Telling Me? Podcast with the incredible Lara Ryan. It’s time to tune in.

Your brain is interpreting what’s happening inside your body and what’s happening around you.

The body part of your brain is tracking everything from your heart rate, hormones, temperature, inflammation, constantly working to keep you safe and balanced 🔥

Then there’s the story part of your brain. The one that makes meaning from those signals. It’s the voice that says, “This fast heart rate means something’s wrong” or “I shouldn’t feel this way.”

But what if that story isn’t true? What if your body’s not in danger — it’s just doing its job? And it's the story we tell ourselves about what we are detecting in our body that could be our negative belief about stress.

When we change the story we tell ourselves about stress, we actually change how our body experiences it. If you're interested in knowing how you can change the story Episode 26 “Is Your Stress Stressing You Out? Do This.” is now live on the What’s My Body Telling Me? podcast. ✨

What if stress wasn’t the problem?

So often, it’s not the stress itself—it’s the story we tell ourselves about it. The guilt, the overachieving, the constant doing, the voice that says “you should be doing more.”

When we shift that internal dialogue, everything changes. Stress can become a signal rather than a spiral. It can remind us that our body is adapting, protecting, and helping us thrive.

In Episode 26 of the What’s My Body Telling Me? podcast — “Is Your Stress Stressing You Out? Do This.” — I share how to reframe your stress response and change the way you experience pressure, productivity, and rest.

Your stress isn’t against you, it’s trying to guide you. Tune in now to learn how to navigate stress in your life 😘

This advice from Susan is game-changing. ✨

Choosing the type of support we need and viewing our health through medical, functional, and energetic lenses matters. But just as important is who that support comes from.

If something doesn’t sit right with you, trust that feeling. Explore it. You are the hero of your story and the one who gets to advocate for your body 😘

This conversation is powerful and deeply transformative. Episode 25 is now live with Susan "You’re Not Crazy: Why You Should Never Stop Trusting Yourself"

Susan opens up about the stories she told herself while navigating miscarriage and IVF. This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply vulnerable.

Through complex health challenges and moments of heartbreak, Susan found her strength—not by pushing through, but by learning to trust her body and listen to what it was asking for.

Her story is a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, our bodies are guiding us toward healing and speaking to us.

When you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unsure what your body needs — start here 🫶

Run through the Toddler Test. It’s simple, and it works. Most of the time, it’s the basic things; rest, nourishment, movement, connection that dissolve the tension we feel in our body.

So often we try to think our way out of how we’re feeling, when what our body really needs is to be met where it’s at. A snack. A breath of fresh air. A moment of stillness. A conversation that feels safe.

It’s amazing how much shifts when we meet those simple needs first. This is the test I swear by and share with my patients.

Does connection pass in your Toddler Test? 💛

In the latest episode, I broke down the 5-question body check-in—and connection is one of them.
Connection doesn’t have to look one way. It might be reaching out to a friend, smiling at a stranger, or simply placing a hand on your heart and checking in with yourself.

We can create connection within ourselves or with others—but what matters is that it’s the kind of connection your body actually needs.

✨ What are the energetics behind your menstrual cycle?

Yes, our bodies need care on a functional level and sometimes even a medical one… but what does your cycle look like through an energetic lens?

What might your bleed be asking you to release?

What could your symptoms be showing you about what’s out of alignment?

In the latest episode, we explore your menstrual cycle through all three lenses—medical, functional, and energetic—so you can see the full picture.

💫 Does this resonate with you energetically?
