What does “healthy” really mean? Is it a number on the scale, a certain look, or something deeper? In this episode, I open up about my lifelong struggles with body image, the toll of pregnancy and HELLP syndrome, navigating a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and the roller coaster of hormone imbalances, especially the rarely-discussed topic of low testosterone in women.

You’ll hear about my peaks (from swim teams to half Ironmans), my setbacks, and how redefining “health” became a journey of resilience and self-advocacy. I share honest lessons learned from functional medicine, to meds, to discovering the Glucose Goddess Method, and finally learning how to listen to my body and celebrate the small victories.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the pressure of looking or feeling a certain way, you’re not alone. My story is messy, imperfect, and real just like yours.
