Wellness without the woo. Womanhood without the guilt. Wisdom from the fine folks who survived dial-up and low-fat lies. Host Stacy Toth brings honest, heartfelt conversations about what it means to live fully—in your body, your brain, and your messy, magical life. From midlife mayhem and mental health to Botox alternatives and book recs, we’re covering it all—with a side of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. No shame. No pseudoscience. Just the kind of conversations you actually want to hear when you call a friend—especially if “wellness” has never quite felt like it was made for you. Rooted in womanhood, open to anyone who’s ever been side-eyed in a yoga studio. Come for the hot takes, stay for the healing. Real Talk, Whole Life is hosted by Stacy Toth, bestselling diet culture author turned anti-diet health at any size educator.

Stacy talks with Dr. Amir Vokshoor, a board-certified neurosurgeon about how chronic stress reshapes the brain and body, why so many people are stuck in fight-or-flight, and how burnout, chronic pain, and trauma are biologically connected. We explore what modern life does to the nervous system and why healing requires more than willpower. If your body feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to recover, this episode reframes burnout as a biological signal, not a personal failure. 00:00 | Is burnout a nervous system problem? 07:20 | Chronic stress and nervous system overload 14:50 | Pain, trauma, and energy depletion 22:30 | Recovery, regulation, and breath 30:40 | Prevention and brain-spine health Find Dr. Vokshoor: drvokshoor.com neurovella.com inifoundation.org instagram.com/drvokshoor Use code STACY for a discount on neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Vokshoor!Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
