This week, we’re peeling back the layers on something that comes up constantly in conversations with clients: "I’m doing everything right… so why do I still feel like crap?" or "There is so much to do - where do I start?"

In this episode, I’m sharing the personal and professional perspective I’ve gained on what actually moves the needle when it comes to health — especially in and beyond the perimenopausal transition.

Spoiler alert: it’s not more workouts or stricter diets.

We’re breaking down the often-overlooked (and under-appreciated) priorities that need to come before the gym grind. From science-backed stats to lived experience (including my wild 20-hour days running a gym), we’re taking an honest look at the foundational habits that make all other efforts more effective.

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite working your butt off, this episode is for you. Because chances are… you’re just focusing on the wrong tier of the health hierarchy.

Let’s reset the foundation — and finally feel better doing less (but better).
