Welcome back to another episode of the In-situ Collective podcast! Today, we’re thrilled to be joined by Dr. Gillian Deakin, a Sydney-based GP with over 40 years of experience and the author of *What the Hell Is Wrong With Me?* Dr. Deakin has dedicated her career to understanding the hidden causes behind symptoms that often leave doctors stumped—pain, fatigue, nausea, and more. These are called functional symptoms.
In this episode, Dr. Deakin walks us through the 7 Body Stress Systems and shares her insights on what causes these mysterious symptoms, especially when all medical tests come back normal. She also outlines the 6-step recovery process to help people regain control of their health. Whether you’ve struggled with unexplained symptoms or are curious about how stress affects the body, this episode is packed with enlightening information that could change the way you view your health.
