In this episode, I share some real talk, a personal and humbling experience of getting sick despite living a clean, healthy lifestyle and following a carnivore diet. I share how stress, lack of sleep, and the arrogance of thinking I was invincible due to my wellness practices contributed to my illness. 

I share the importance of balance in diet, hydration, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection to overall wellness. I talk about the need for self-compassion, acknowledging that striving for perfection can often be counterproductive. 

I hope this episode with heartfelt anecdotes encourages you to keep fighting for better health while leading with empathy and resilience. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not just about protocols but also about mindset, connection, and finding strength, even in the darkest moments.
