I was invited onto a podcast to talk about this…

Quick story…

I was recently at a health and wellness conference, surrounded by experts having real conversations about what’s actually missing in busy professional’s health. After one of those conversations, I was invited to be a guest on the Holistic Pharmacy Podcast.

Not because I follow trends—but because I question them.

Because I’ve lived what so many high-achieving professionals are silently dealing with: doing “everything right”… eating clean, working out, pushing through—and still feeling off. Low energy, unpredictable digestion, hormones that make no sense… all while being told by Harvard trained doctors “your labs are normal.”

So in this episode, we went there.

We talk about why “normal” labs aren’t enough, the connection between stress, gut health, and hormones, what high-performers often get wrong—and how functional testing shifts you from guessing to actually knowing.

I also shared parts of my story I don’t always talk about—the version of me running on coffee, barely sleeping, ignoring the signals my body was screaming… while still performing at a high level.

Here’s the truth: you’re only going to be as successful as your health allows you to be.

If something in your body feels off but you can’t connect the dots yet—this episode will.
