If you're anything like me, you’ve probably looked back and thought, “Why didn’t I know this 10 years ago?” That’s exactly what today’s chat is about - my top five health game-changers I wish I had embraced earlier. Whether you’re 25 or 75, these insights can shift the needle in how you feel, look, and thrive. From nutrition tracking without guilt to finally getting that high-quality protein in, these tips aren’t about restriction - they’re about empowerment.

I’m opening up about what’s worked, what didn’t, and why strength training, ditching the processed stuff, and even allowing yourself to be hungry can be revolutionary. This one is packed with real-life examples, scientific backing, and simple steps to get started without getting overwhelmed.

What we're tackling:

• Track your food with intention, not shame.
• Ditch skinny, build strong with progressive overload.
• Prioritize protein without obsessing.
• Phase out processed foods gradually.
• Embrace hunger and stop snacking aimlessly.
