Do you think about how your choices today are affecting a future version of you? So many people ask me how I stay so “disciplined” and motivated with my healthy lifestyle, and I’m sharing something deeper on this subject today. It’s not discipline, it’s devotion to my future self. In this episode I talk about how the habits you create will compound to create the life you dream of. It’s not about luck…it’s about choice.
I discuss…
- How witnessing the end of my grandpa’s life reminded me of the importance of health
- The delay between the choice you make now and the effect you have later
- Why you struggle to stick with “healthy” habits
- The power of compounding habits
- Do you give up right before it works?
- Extremes vs moderate habits
- The unfortunate reality of our “instant gratification” generation
- How to collapse time to make choices for your future self
- Creating your future self avatar
- How I thought of my future self when I was healing my relationship with food
- How to avoid a purist mindset and perfectionism
- How much wiggle room do we have for less ideal choices?
- Becoming more sensitive to the subtle effects of your choices
- How I stopped overeating every night by becoming more sensitive

3 min - 59: You don't need more detox...you need more nourishment
When you’re health starts to fall apart, it’s easy to think you need to double down on your supplements and detox harder. But just like anything in life, we need balance in order to truly thrive. I often see people trying to fix their health issues with more detox protocols, more biohacks, more strict diets, and doubling down on their regimented routines. Yes this might work for some time, but if we don’t also prioritize nourishment and rest, it can backfire. What does nourishment even mean? How can you properly nourish your body and soul so you have the energy to detox? I answer all of this and more in today’s episode!
I discuss…
- One of the biggest mistakes I see people make in the health/detox world
- When being vegan stops working, so you go even harder with it
- The dangers of “over detoxing”
- The scary effects of too much detox I witnessed in one of my clients
- Why do we chase extremes?
- How excess detox mimics the trauma cycle
- The most overlooked aspects of health
- What “inputs” does your body need to detox?
- My top tips for physical nourishment
- My top tips for soul nourishment
- What does “nutrient dense” food even mean?
- Why did our ancestors not have as many health issues, even though they didn’t have supplements and biohacks?
- My top supplement recommendations for a season of deep nourishment

47 min - 57: How to actually lower your cortisol: 12 root causes of high cortisol that are rarely talked about
Everyone is talking about how excess cortisol is at the root of so many chronic symptoms. I see IG posts every day that say lowering cortisol will effortlessly make you lose weight, reduce bloating, clear your skin, balance your hormones, etc. And while I do agree that cortisol can drive chronic illness, I think there is a big piece of this discussion that isn’t talked about enough: what is driving the cortisol up in the first place? Hint: it’s so much more than just being mentally “stressed.” In this episode I go into SO much detail around the things that raise cortisol, beyond just the typical emotional stressors and mental overwhelm.
I discuss…
- Aspects of lowering cortisol that are often forgotten about
- Myths around lowering cortisol
- The dangers of lowering cortisol too much
- Signs you have excess cortisol
- How high cortisol impacts your hormones, gut, thyroid, weight, skin, mood, and sleep
- How stress impacts your mitochondria
- Things that raise cortisol that have NOTHING to do with mental/emotional factors
- 12 things that keep your cortisol high
- The most important things to do if you want balanced stress/cortisol levels
- And MORE
