Before we dive into all the science, protocols, and practical tools — let me tell you why I'm really here.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey: from vanilla scones and lattes to oats and smoothies (thanks to my son for that wake-up call), from primary care physician to triple board-certified specialist in family medicine, obesity medicine, and lifestyle medicine. I share what changed when I became a mother, when I started noticing the stark difference between thriving 80-year-olds and struggling ones, and why my own battle with weight and habits led me down a path I never expected.

Here's the truth: even with all my medical training and certifications, I still struggle to choose the healthier option. I still want the samosa over the nuts. And that struggle — that very human experience — is what led me to life coaching. (Yes, I was skeptical too. Very skeptical. But I was also very wrong.)

This episode is about why behavior change is so hard, why knowledge alone isn't enough, and why addressing your health means looking at everything — your food, your sleep, your stress, your relationships, your environment, and the patterns you didn't even know you had.

This is my work. This is my why. And I'm so glad you're here.
