You know that feeling when you're "doing everything right" but still feel exhausted by 3 PM? Or when your doctor says your labs look "normal" but you definitely don't feel normal?

This week, I'm chatting with Sharleen Lucas—an RN who left traditional hospital nursing because she was tired of seeing people suffer without real solutions. Sharleen breaks down metabolic health in a way that actually makes sense (and doesn't make you feel like you need a medical degree to understand it).

What We Cover

• Why 93% of us feel crappy (but the good news is, Sharleen gives us practical tools to fix this!) 
• What "metabolic health" actually means (hint: think of your cells as tiny factories)
• The "naked carbs" thing that's probably sabotaging your energy all day
• Super simple food hacks that don't require throwing out everything in your pantry
• Why your breakfast might be setting you up for failure (and what to do instead)

The Real Talk

Sharleen's story resonated with me—she dealt with her own mysterious health issues that traditional medicine couldn't solve. Sound familiar? She gets that you're already doing so much right, but maybe you just need a few tweaks to feel like yourself again.

Her favorite quote from fitness instructor Betty Rocker: "All or something is just fine." Because honestly, we don't need to be perfect. We just need to start somewhere.

If This Sounds Like You...

• You're successful in every other area of life but can't figure out why you're so tired
• You feel guilty for wanting more energy when you "should be grateful"
• You're tired of being told to just "eat healthy and exercise" without real guidance
• You want to feel good in the life you've already built
