Most eating plans fail for one simple reason: they were built for perfect conditions.

Perfect schedules.
Perfect energy.
Perfect motivation.

But real life isn’t perfect — it’s the wild.

Hormones fluctuate. Kids get sick. Work gets heavy. Appetite is unpredictable (especially on GLP-1s). Decision fatigue hits right when dinner needs to happen. And suddenly your “plan” is gone.

In this episode, Dr. Stacy kicks off the Habits in the Wild series by tackling food — and reframing why eating feels hardest when life is stressful.

You’ll learn:

• Why “falling off” your eating plan is a design flaw, not a discipline problem
• The difference between food in captivity vs. food in the wild
• Why protein works as a stabilizing anchor in chaos
• How to stop restarting every Monday and build trust with yourself instead

This episode isn’t about perfect nutrition.
It’s about protecting one protein moment — and letting that be enough.
