Are the "healthy" rules you’re following actually making you sick?

I followed the mainstream advice, low fat, plant-based, and small frequent meals, yet I was left tired, hungry, and metabolically stuck. In 2026, we know that "one-size-fits-all" diet advice often ignores female hormones and blood sugar stability. Today, I’m sharing the specific "healthy" habits I had to break to finally fix my health, and why protein, salt, and fats were actually the missing pieces.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why "Low Fat" became a health disaster.

• The truth about plant-based protein for women.

• The framework I use now to support my metabolism and energy.
