Avoid These 4 Wellness Traps


Listen Later

Most people struggling with their metabolism aren’t unhealthy because they ignore health advice — they’re unhealthy because they follow too much of it.

In this episode, we explore The Wellness Trap: how "clean" eating, consistent training, and relentless optimization can quietly undermine metabolic health when they turn into chronic under-fueling, recovery debt, and constant physiological stress.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “doing everything right” often leads to stalled fat loss and low energy
  • How under-fueling and over-training signal the body to slow down
  • When optimization and tracking increase stress instead of resilience
  • Why more discipline doesn’t fix a stressed metabolism
  • How to shift from control to capacity, and from optimization to interpretation

This episode is especially for high-functioning, disciplined people who feel stuck despite doing all the “right” things.

If that sounds like you, this conversation may change how you think about health entirely.
