About this listen

Welcome to 2026 — and yes, I tried to turn this podcast into video… and of course it wasn’t simple. 🙃 The video version is still happening (YouTube: Joanne Lee Cornish) — but for now, it’s you, me, and my English accent.

The Peak Week 5 Day Shred starts on Monday, yes THIS Monday - offered only once a year!

Today’s Topics 1) The quiet truth about change

You don’t hate your life… but you’re not really happy either. Thinking about change feels safer than acting — because acting makes it real. And the real fear often isn’t change… it’s what change would prove about you.

My mantra for 2026: Overlearn so you don’t have to overthink. Clarity creates ease. Confusion creates stress.

2) Temporary states: when “good” becomes a problem

A hard workout looks dangerous on paper: heart rate up, blood pressure up, cortisol up, inflammation up, muscle tissue damaged. But it’s healthy because it’s temporary.

Your body runs on signals — and trouble starts when a signal becomes a lifestyle:

  • Cortisol is useful (mobilizes energy) — until it never comes down.

  • Inflammation is repair — until it never resolves.

  • mTOR (build) and AMPK (breakdown/cleanup) are both essential — but neither should be “on” all the time.

Temporary = adaptive. Chronic = destructive.

Quick Self-Check

If it’s working: better sleep, stable mood, improving performance, flexibility. If it’s chronic: rigidity, anxiety, stalled results, constant effort for diminishing returns.
