After years of working with doctors who never addressed the root causes of her symptoms, navigating chronic health challenges, and doing plenty of her own research, Janet began her bone health program with understandable resistance. What would be different this time?

In this episode, Janet shares how she learned to let go of the checklist mentality and instead own the process of reversing her osteoporosis—transforming the protocol into a way of being rather than a stressful to-do list.

Her wins?

• She now sleeps 7–8 hours a night after 30 years of chronic insomnia.
• She's gone from experiencing gut pain 80% of her waking hours (for 9 years!) to being pain-free.
• And she's gained the confidence to advocate for herself in conversations with her doctor—trusting that she knows her body best.

Her story is a powerful reminder not to get absorbed in the details of perfection, but to trust the journey and become an active, empowered participant in your healing.
