This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality. In this episode, Heidi and I are so incredibly excited to kick off 2026 with you. We know that right now, many of you might be feeling like you're on a hamster wheel, overcommitted, running on empty, and wondering where all your power went. This challenge isn't about adding more to your plate or forcing you to do ten new things every day. Instead, we're diving into where your energy is currently leaking so you can stop the drain and start thriving. Key Highlights: ➡️ Dr. Heidi shares her transition from pro bicycle racing to functional medicine ➡️ Kellie shares why she shifted from clinical practice to focusing on women's longevity. ➡️ How true energy isn't something you hunt for in a pill or drink; it's a powerhouse unit you generate from within. ➡️ How being too capable can actually become a negative feedback loop that leads to overcommitment. ➡️ Why handing over your power to your phone first thing in the day creates immediate decision fatigue. ➡️ Dr. Heidi explains how your body confuses emotional stress with physical stress, costing you the same energy currency. ➡️ Why your body doesn't know the difference between a workout and a difficult conversation, and how that costs you currency. ➡️ How the relationships and groups we join can unknowingly drain us faster than anything else. ➡️ Why recovery is just as important as performance and how to start sleeping like a boss. Key Takeaways: "Energy is something that we create inside of us... But we actually can call up more energy. We can decide that." -Kellie Lupsha "Energy isn't something to go grab, go hunt for, go look for... No, it's in here and we generate it.
