Key takeaways:
1. Don’t Blame the Workout—Blame the Burnout
HIIT isn’t ruining your hormones—burnout, poor recovery, and skipping meals are. When done right, HIIT can support fat loss and hormone health, not sabotage it.
2. Wellness Hacks Aren’t a Shortcut to Results
Dry brushing, CGMs, and vibration plates can’t replace the basics: sleep, protein, strength training, and consistency. If your “routine” is a full-time job, it’s probably a distraction.
3. Chick-fil-A Isn’t the Enemy—But It’s Not the Answer Either
Sure, you can technically hit your macros at the drive-thru, but long-term healing and real energy don’t come in a to-go bag. Healing means zooming out to see the full picture of health.
4. It’s Not Your Hormones, It’s Your Habits
Hormones respond to what you're doing—and what you’re not. High cortisol, low energy, and PCOS flares often reflect lifestyle gaps, not broken biology.
5. You Don’t Need More Time—You Need Better Systems
Meal prep and macro tracking aren’t too hard—they’re just unfamiliar. And guess what? Spending 15 minutes cooking chicken is way easier than feeling miserable in a dressing room.
