Most of us know the fundamentals of good health: eat nutritious whole foods, drink enough water, exercise regularly, get good sleep, and limit harmful substances. But how many of us are actually doing these things consistently? And not just during a good week, but during the busy weeks, the stressful weeks, and the weeks when nothing seems to be going right?

The truth is, most of us struggle with the basics far more than we realize. And that’s what we’re diving into in today’s episode.

You’ll Learn:

🔸 Why only 2-5% of American adults are likely following all the fundamentals of good health consistently.

🔸 Why most of us don’t need a fancy new plan—we just need to dial in the fundamentals.

🔸 How the fundamentals of health are deceptively tricky and require consistent effort to truly master.

🔸 A story about coaching my daughter's basketball team, and how health fundamentals are similar to basketball fundamentals.

🔸 Mastery comes from repetition and showing up, not perfection.

🔸 Why slip-ups are part of the process—and why the goal isn’t perfection, but staying in the game and continually improving.

This episode is more of a pep talk than anything—to encourage you to keep showing up and working on the fundamentals, even when it feels messy and imperfect. Because that’s where real progress happens. 💪
