231: What I Wish I Knew About My Body, Hormones, and Exercise in My 20s

OVERVIEW: If you’ve ever looked back and thought, “I wish I had known that sooner…” — this one’s for you. In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my 20s that completely changed how I take care of my body now in my late 30s. From chasing the scale and doing hours of cardio to learning how to support my hormones, fuel my metabolism, and actually feel good, I’m sharing the hard truths, the mindset shifts, and the science-backed strategies I wish I had known a decade ago. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, I hope this episode gives you permission to stop chasing quick fixes and start building real, sustainable health, no matter where you're starting from.
