153. I’m a Health Coach, But I’m Human Too: What My Body Has Been Teaching Me

In this episode of The Potential Project, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing a personal health update.As a coach, I spend a lot of time talking about sleep, hormones, stress, fat loss, labs, recovery, and the habits that help people feel their best. But the truth is, I’m human too. And recently, my own body has been giving me signs that it needs more support.After pushing through a HYROX event without fully preparing the way I should have, I started noticing changes in my energy, blood pressure, lightheadedness, recovery, and overall ability to train. Nothing extreme or emergency-level, but enough to remind me that symptoms are feedback, and ignoring them usually does not make them go away.So in this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been experiencing, the steps I’m taking to get answers, and why I believe so strongly in testing, listening to your body, and taking action before small issues become bigger ones.We’ll talk about:Why even healthy people can struggle with their healthHow stress, training, sleep, minerals, and lifestyle can all add upWhy I’m taking a step back from intense exercise right nowThe testing and appointments I’m using to get more clarityWhy symptoms should be seen as feedback, not failureThe importance of taking action instead of waiting until things get worseThis episode is a reminder that health is not about being perfect. It’s about paying attention, being honest with yourself, and continuing to move forward one step at a time.
