You built a killer career. Now it's time to build the body and energy to match.

In this episode of Duh, Bitch! You're Powerful, I'm sitting down with Dr. Samantha Ritz, Doctor of Physical Therapy, founder of Ritz Wellness, and creator of the Elite Woman Project to talk about what it actually takes for high-achieving women, founders, CEOs, and executives to feel as powerful in their bodies as they do in their boardrooms.

And spoiler: it's not about doing more.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the "grind harder" fitness mentality is keeping you stuck (and burning out your hormones in the process)
• How your menstrual cycle affects your motivation, recovery, and results  and why relying on discipline alone will always fail you
• The truth about fasted workouts and cold plunges for women (hint: the research was done on men)
• Why most high-achieving women are actually under-eating  and how that's sabotaging their body goals
• The 30-minute, 4-day strength training method designed for women with zero time
• What perimenopause and menopause actually do to your body and why strength training is non-negotiable
• How GLP-1 medications affect muscle mass and what you need to do about it
• Why investing in your health is exactly like investing in your 401k
• The mindset shift that changes everything: from "this is selfish" to "this is foundational"
• Why your physical transformation is actually an identity transformation and why 30-day sprints almost never work long-term
