Decidedly I Decision Tips for Business Owners

Deciding What’s Really Making You Sick: The Hidden Triggers Wrecking Your Health (and How to Fix Them) // Dr. Julie Kennedy REPLAY Ep. 144


Listen Later

What if the root of your fatigue, brain fog, weight gain—or even poor decision-making—wasn’t your hustle, but your hormones? In this episode of Decidedly, functional medicine expert Dr. Julie Kennedy reveals the invisible health disruptors most people overlook: from sleep-depriving stress hormones to thyroid dysfunction caused by mold, processed foods, and everyday household toxins.

We explore the true cost of running on cortisol and convenience, why you might be self-sabotaging your health goals without realizing it, and how to shift from survival mode into intentional living. If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in a loop of “knowing better but not doing better,” this episode is your wake-up call.

KEY TOPICS

  • The surprising ways environmental toxins (like “fragrance”) are disrupting your hormones

  • How mold exposure hides in plain sight—and wrecks your energy, sleep, and focus

  • Why so many business owners are secretly running on stress instead of stamina

  • The one question to ask before taking on any new commitment (to protect your energy)
