In this episode of Blah, Blah, Blah…Something Wellness, host Dr. Tami Sharp sits down with Greg Nottingham and Cindy Kerr for a real-world conversation about mindset, sustainable fitness and nutrition habits, emotional eating, gut health, aging, recovery, and why small daily choices matter more than dramatic lifestyle overhauls.

This isn’t about extreme diets or crash fitness plans. It’s about what actually happens in real life — stress eating on shift, living on caffeine and soda, leadership changes that affect morale, trying to get back into the gym after injury, and learning how to reframe frustration so you can enjoy your career instead of just counting down the days to retirement.

They dig into practical strategies that create lasting change, how celebrating small wins builds momentum, why consistency beats intensity, and how your mindset — whether you absorb energy like a thermometer or set the tone like a thermostat — impacts your health, performance, and fulfillment on and off the job.
