Fix the Why: Data-Driven Healing That Lasts | Joya Van Der Laan
In this episode, we get practical about fixing the why. Board-certified nurse practitioner Joya Van Der Laan shows how simple foundations plus smart testing and tracking turn “normal labs” into real answers, so busy builders can reclaim energy, sleep, and focus. Expect clear steps, not fads, and a data-driven path to feeling like yourself again.

🔑 Key Insights
💡 Start with foundations: sleep, protein and produce, movement, sunlight.
💡 “Normal labs” with abnormal symptoms means keep digging for root causes.
💡 Hormone shifts can change mood, energy, weight, libido, and sleep.
💡 Build a plan after testing and recheck key markers about every three months.
💡 Find licensed providers through IFM and A4M directories.
💡 Aim for direction not perfection because progress beats perfect.
💡 Protect marriage and community with intentional rhythms and assuming good intent.
💡 Do not blame everything on aging.
