When Doing More Isn’t Improving Your Health

When effort stops producing results, it’s often not a motivation problem. It’s a physiology problem, especially as hormones begin to shift.In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Katie Hardy, Colorado-based board-certified holistic nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist, to explore why fitness, diet, and exercise stop working the same way over time, particularly for women navigating perimenopause. Drawing from her work with high-performing athletes and active adults, Katie explains how hormonal changes, chronic stress, and under-recovery impact energy, body composition, mood, and long-term health, and why pushing harder often backfires during this stage of life.“If things that used to work aren’t working anymore, that’s not failure. It’s feedback.” – Katie HardyYou’ll hear: • How perimenopause changes the body’s response to training, cardio, and calorie restriction • Why hormones, stress, and recovery matter more than doing more exercise • Common nutrition mistakes women make as hormones shift • Why savory, protein-forward meals better support energy and body composition • How smarter training and intentional recovery support health and longevity during midlifeFind Katie Hardy on Instagram at @mypeak365 and learn more about her work at MyPeak365.com.🎧 The Daily Apple Practical conversations about longevity, performance, and the habits that build better health.Hosted by Dr. Kevin White of Prime Health Associates.
