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.

Examples of what listening to my body looked like this week:

> Taking my bra off because it was uncomfortable (after 15 minutes of putting up with it and listening to my thoughts. I listen to my body and took it off.

> Running in the rain. My brain has a belief that ‘I’m not a runner’, most people don’t run when it’s bucketing rain. My body woke up and wanted to frolic in the rain. So I did what it was telling me. Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.

> Learning to play padel with fam on the weekend. Movement, sunshine, family? Rarely ever a no from my body.

> My brain telling me I need to ‘grow up’ and eat olives. My body saying I don’t like the taste. So I don’t eat them.

> My brain telling me to pull out the my laptop and finish off work, then telling me to read something, to scroll. Then my body told me to just sit and feel the bedsheets and listen to music.

> Wanting something filling, sweat, crunchy and nutrient dense. Everyone else saying this is a weird meal… my body saying ‘yum’.

Listening to your body doesn’t have to look like meditating for 2 hours a day, or setting aside 3 days for a retreat. They’re great and can be fun. You can also listen everyday in the little moments. From experience, these make the biggest long term impact.

Listen. Acknowledge with action. And watch your body and symptoms start to change…

If shame actually worked, it would have worked by now…

In this episode, Emma and I take a closer look at the role of movement — and why exercise framed around weight loss and aesthetics has failed so many people.

We explore how gym culture and fitness marketing built on shame, fear, and unrealistic bodies doesn’t motivate movement — it stops it. How stories like “I’m too unfit to move” or “I don’t belong there” are created and reinforced. And why repeating the same approach, while expecting a different result, has kept women stuck for decades.

This conversation is for the woman who’s ready to reframe movement away from punishment and appearance, and back toward enjoyment, safety, mental health, and metabolic support — because when movement feels accessible and supportive, consistency follows.

In the next episode of our Weight & Metabolism Series, we’re joined by Emma Masters — movement educator and performer — whose relationship with exercise was shaped by intense body-based pressure, and who has since reclaimed movement with passion and freedom.

Emma shares how her early experiences in dance and performance created a painful relationship with her body, and how that journey led her to completely reimagine what movement could feel like when it’s rooted in safety, intrinsic motivation, and nervous system support.

“At the end of your life, no one will remember your waistline.”

This conversation explores why so many people feel disconnected from movement, how environments, language, and cues can either shut the body down or invite it back in, and what happens when we stop using exercise as punishment and start using it as a way to feel good inside ourselves.

This episode is about reclaiming movement — not for aesthetics, but for connection, enjoyment, and long-term metabolic support.

You’ve done all the ‘right things’ measured the calories in and calories out. But your body is responding differently to how it normally does.

Calories in calories out isn’t incorrect it’s INCOMPLETE

Comment: “Josh” to he the link to our episode on Weight and Metabolism were we dive into the functional side of things.

You’re not broken. Your body is working perfectly at sending you a message. You just need to listen differently.

When stress is high, the brain doesn’t prioritise long-term goals. It prioritises relief.

Cravings, emotional eating, skipped meals, loss of structure — these aren’t personal failures. They’re survival responses from a nervous system under pressure.

Dr Gina Cleo and I explore why habits fall apart during stress — and why change doesn’t come from more discipline or willpower. It comes from designing habits that work with a stressed nervous system, not against it.

Small, supportive, realistic shifts matter most. Enjoyable movement. Nourishing food without restriction.

Habits that create safety first — because a nervous system in survival mode can’t sustain intensity.

This conversation is about compassion, not control. Understanding, not self-blame. And building habits that truly support your body in the season you’re in. This episode of the Weight & Metabolism Series explores what your body may be communicating through an energetic lens.

Gaining weight even though you’re exercising the same and eating the same? Thats a f*cking pain in the ass right?! But you’re not broken. The calories in calories out maths is incomplete.

The episode you’ve been waiting for is here, bringing the energetic lens into the Weight & Metabolism Series.

Our next guest is Dr Gina Cleo — habit expert, researcher, and one of the most trusted voices in behaviour change — and this conversation is a powerful shift from everything you’ve been taught about food, weight, and “discipline.”

This episode isn’t about trying harder or being 1% better every day. It’s about identity. Language. Dopamine. And the invisible patterns that shape food habits long before conscious choice kicks in. How the way you speak to yourself becomes behaviour. How behaviour becomes habit. And how habits quietly become a lifestyle.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, fear, or self-blame, this episode offers a completely different way forward — one rooted in understanding what the body and brain are actually asking for, rather than forcing change.

Is weight really just about calories in and calories out?

In this episode of our Weight & Metabolism Series, Dr Joshua Hackett speaks into why weight regulation is not just about what you eat or how much you move, but about how the body’s systems are communicating with each other.

From circadian rhythm and light exposure to hunger signalling, cravings, sleep, and metabolic timing, this conversation reframes weight through a far more accurate biological lens.

This episode “Calories in and calories out maths is incomplete” is now live — comment “EPISODE” to listen now and explore weight beyond calories in vs calories out.

This Weight & Metabolism Series offers a full-picture view of what your weight may be communicating — and how to respond in ways that truly support your body. Follow along to stay up to date as new episodes are released..

What if weight isn’t a maths problem?

This next episode of our Weight & Metabolism Series takes a deeper look at why the familiar “calories in, calories out” model so often fails women — even when they’re doing everything “right.”

Joined by Dr Joshua Hackett, we explore what actually drives weight regulation beneath the surface, including the role of mitochondria, circadian timing, sleep, and metabolic precision. The conversation shifts weight away from trendy diets and willpower, and toward the biological systems that shape energy, hormones, and how the body adapts over time.

This episode is now live — bringing science and clarity to a topic that’s been oversimplified for far too long. And it’s just one part of the Weight & Metabolism Series, with more episodes coming to continue unpacking the symptom of weight through multiple lenses.
