Dear Body, I’m listeningThe Weight I Carry Isn’t Just Physical
"Shame lives in the body, but so does compassion." —Donna Piper
If shame could be seen, would you finally believe it’s not your fault?
So many of us carry invisible burdens—chronic symptoms, exhaustion, and the silent weight of feeling misunderstood or blamed for what we can’t control. The real struggle isn’t just in our bodies, but in the stories we tell ourselves when healing doesn’t look the way the world expects.
Donna Piper knows this journey firsthand. After years of being dismissed and doing everything “ri...2025-07-2425 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningThe Inflammation Fix: How Keto Diet Supports Your Lymphatic System
"It's not all about obesity, it's not all about weight. It is about giving your body the nutrients it needs to be healthy." —Leslyn Keith
Forget calories-in-calories-out. If you’re eating "clean" but still battling swelling, fatigue, or pain, the problem isn’t your willpower—it’s how your food fuels (or strangles) your lymphatics.
Carbs don’t just go to our hips—they clog our body’s drainage system. And when our lymphatics are drowning in carbs, every symptom—from brain fog to stubborn weight—becomes a distress signal.

Dear Body, I’m listeningMy Body Changed Overnight… and Finally, I Got Answers
"Remember, your symptoms aren't just physical, and your healing won't be either. Listen to your body, it's been whispering the truth all along." —Donna Piper
Your body changes overnight—sudden weight gain, relentless pain, and doctors who dismiss it as "just aging." What if it’s not?
Donna shares her shocking journey from unexplained swelling and crushing fatigue to life-changing diagnoses: lipedema, mast cell activation syndrome, and hypermobility. For years, her symptoms were brushed off as "normal," but rapid physical changes forced her to dig deeper. As a movement therapist and chronic...2025-07-1024 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningHot Girls Wearing Compression"Compression might not be cute by mainstream standards... but compression is healing. And healing is hot." —Donna Piper
What if compression gear could be your secret weapon against chronic pain and swelling— while making you feel confident, not constrained?
This week, Donna reveals how symptoms like swelling and pain were once dismissed as "normal" struggles, and how compression has become a lifeline for managing inflammation, fibrosis, and daily discomfort. From decongestion wrapping to custom flat-knit garments, Donna breaks down the science and self-care rituals that help her reclaim her health—and her confidence—while navi...2025-07-0324 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningSo Flexible It Hurts: Living with Hypermobility & EDS
"If you call yourself lazy or out of shape, you really are not. You're an Olympic-level competitor, because your body is doing so much more than everyone else." —Donna Piper
Modern medicine often misses this critical truth: flexibility can be a disability. Hypermobility forces your body to burn energy just to maintain basic stability.
For Donna Piper, 'flexibility' wasn't a gift—it was a hidden disability that stole her energy and fueled chronic pain. As a movement therapist, Donna believed her hypermobile joints were an advantage, until they triggered fatigue so severe s...2025-06-3016 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningChronic Fatigue… Huh, Is That Even Real?“Rest is medicine, and I even wear a monitor now to track how much energy I'm truly using. Even if I think I'm taking it easy, it shows me that I might be expending too much energy, and I'm able to take rest breaks purposely so I don't feel guilty about resting." —Donna Piper
They called it burnout. They called it depression. They were wrong. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), isn't psychological—it's neurological. This invisible illness poisons your nervous system while leaving lab tests 'normal,' making it medicine's greates...2025-06-2917 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningWhat Is MCAS and Why Do I Look 6 Months Pregnant by Lunch?"If you've ever been told it's all in your head, well, your body is not lying and neither are you." —Donna Piper
What if your 'healthy' diet was secretly poisoning you?
For decades, Donna ate kale, bone broth, and fermented foods—only to discover these 'superfoods' were flooding her body with histamines and leaving her bloated like a balloon by noon.
In this episode, Donna pulls back the curtain on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)—the invisible illness that turned her immune system against everyday foods. She reveals how doctors misdiagnosed her chron...2025-06-2823 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningIf I Had Known This at 15... Lipedema"If at 15, I had known what I know now, I think I would have a huge change in perspective about how I looked at my body in my whole life." —Donna Piper
What if your 'normal weight gain' was actually a medical condition everyone missed? At 15, Donna thought she just needed to try harder. Thirty years later, she learned the shocking truth.
Donna reveals how lipedema symptoms masqueraded as simple body insecurities—from ballet teachers shaming her thighs to doctors dismissing her pain. With raw honesty, she unpacks the genetic reality of lipedema, the c...2025-06-2725 min
Dear Body, I’m listeningDear Body, I’m Listening— The Why Behind the Podcast"You are not broken, you are not lazy, you are not crazy—and your body is doing her best." —Donna Piper
What if your body isn’t failing you—it’s trying to save you?
Patients with chronic pain or invisible illnesses often face gaslighting from doctors, loved ones, and even themselves. They’re told to push through, fix their diets, or "just rest," while their bodies scream in languages no one understands.
Step into the very first episode of “Dear Body, I’m Listening”, where healing isn’t a straight line, and perfection is...2025-06-2617 min
