Perfectionism is the biggest wellness scam women have ever bought into. We’ve been conditioned to believe health only counts when it’s flawless — perfect macros, perfect workouts, perfect sleep, perfect supplement stacks. But biology doesn’t care about perfection. It cares about predictability.

In this episode, Jess and Jill deliver a reality check on why “doing it all” is the very thing keeping women stuck, exhausted, and inconsistent. They unpack how the nervous system, metabolism, and hormones are built to thrive on stability and how chasing the illusion of perfection actually blocks the very results you’re working for.

You’ll learn how the “good enough” approach flips the entire narrative by focusing on the 20% of behaviors that drive 80% of your results — things like hitting your protein target most of the time, lifting regularly, sleeping deeply, and managing stress before it manages you. Because progress doesn’t come from pushing harder; it comes from staying steady.

💡 In this episode:

  • The biology of “good enough” and why your body responds to repetition, not restriction
  • How perfection destroys consistency, spikes cortisol, and slows your metabolism
  • The Simplicity Formula: 5 daily anchors that keep your hormones, energy, and digestion stable
  • Why doing “enough” consistently always outperforms doing “everything” sporadically
  • The physiological ROI of simplicity — more energy, better mood, regulated digestion, and fat loss that actually sticks

Jess and Jill break down what it really means to build a body that’s not just leaner but calmer, stronger, and more resilient. Because when you stop chasing perfect and start owning predictable, your body finally has the safety and consistency it’s been waiting for.

The good enough approach isn’t mediocrity — it’s mastery through consistency.
Tune in to learn why simplicity is the ultimate flex in women’s health and how it might be the most strategic, freeing shift you ever make.
