In this raw and deeply personal episode of Optimal Metabolism, I’m opening up about something far beyond food, fasting, or hormones: my spiritual transformation.

Over the past several years, I’ve experienced tremendous success—and tremendous loss. What started as a nutrition therapy business rooted in service began to feel more like striving. I found myself chasing downloads, metrics, and content calendars… and losing sight of who I was really called to be.

✨ In this episode, I share:

• Why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for a season

• How I realized I was idolizing my business

• The power of obedience and stillness when life feels out of control

• What God is showing me about rest, identity, and true healing

• How I’m rebuilding my work around Him—not around hustle

This is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether you’re prioritizing spiritual health as much as physical.

✅ Key Topics Covered

• The unspoken pressure behind business success in the health world

• Recognizing when social media becomes spiritual distraction

• How stepping away brought clarity to your faith and family

• What it means to trust God with your business and your purpose

• Encouragement for others stuck in the cycle of “doing more”
