About this listen

In this episode of There Is No Plan B, Gabby sits down with Jay Benjamin, founder of TrimMD Wellness in Morristown, NJ, to unpack what it really looks like to leave a stable corporate career and build a purpose-driven wellness business from scratch.

Jay shares her unconventional journey out of 14 years in supply chain and into opening a full-service wellness storefront, navigating fear, family expectations, imposter syndrome, and the realities of betting on yourself — especially as a woman from an immigrant background.

Together, they dive into the deeper conversation behind women’s health today: burnout, inflammation, weight changes, hormonal shifts, and why so many women are caring for everyone else except themselves. Jay breaks down how TrimMD goes beyond weight loss to offer customized, hands-on support across nutrition, metabolic health, IV therapy, and whole-body wellness.

This episode is a powerful reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s essential — and that sometimes the boldest move is choosing yourself anyway.

  • Jay’s transition from corporate supply chain to entrepreneurship

  • Navigating fear, family expectations, and cultural pressure

  • Why Morristown was the right (and risky) location for TrimMD

  • Imposter syndrome and betting on yourself anyway

  • What women are really coming in for at TrimMD

  • Inflammation, fatigue, perimenopause, and metabolic health

  • Why wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all

  • The ripple effect of women prioritizing their health

  • Building confidence through personalized care and accountability

  • Leading by example for daughters and families

  • Expanding TrimMD with IV therapy and telehealth

  • Jay’s philosophy: “If not you, then who?”

  • Stability doesn’t always equal fulfillment

  • Women’s health symptoms are often signals, not silenced nuisances

  • Small, consistent changes compound into life-altering outcomes

  • You can’t pour from an empty cup — wellness is leadership

  • Betting on yourself creates permission for others to do the same
