The Perspective Shift on Health & Fitness That We All Need

This week I’m joined by Kate Lyman and Michael Ulloa from the How to Fitness podcast for a conversation about wellness culture, sustainable health habits, and what happens when “being healthy” starts becoming less about authentic health — and more about optimization and chasing wellness trends.

We talk about:

• how rigid ideas about health can actually keep people stuck and lead to disordered eating patterns

• the pressure to do fitness and nutrition “optimally” and why it's BS

• the importance of flexibility within a sustainable approach to health

• why evidence-based health matters immesly in a world full of food-fear, weird trends, and constant wellness marketing

• the impact of obsessing over “health” and what people miss out on when their lives become consumed by self-monitoring

• how orthorexia, wellness culture, and disordered eating patterns can quietly reinforce perfectionism, fear, and control

• how to become a more conscious consumer of health and wellness content — and the red flags to watch for

• which habits actually support a healthy and fulfilling life (and which ones are mostly noise)

• why so many people feel emotionally attached to control around food and exercise

This conversation felt like such an important reminder that health is supposed to support your life — not become your entire life.

This is about more flexibility, self-awareness, nuance, joy, and actually finding what works for your real life.

Health can be fun!!

I’m sharing the deepest dive I’ve ever done into my own story — from body obsession, bulimia, orthorexia, perfectionism, purity culture, and disembodiment… to healing, self-trust, mindfulness, and finally feeling at home in myself again.

In this episode, we talk about:

• growing up in diet culture + purity culture
• childhood sexual abuse and disconnection from the body
• restriction, body checking, and calorie counting
• how my eating disorder escalated in college
• wellness culture and orthorexia
• the overlap between perfectionism, control, and “health”
• how yoga and mindfulness helped me reconnect with myself
• what actually helped me heal

My hope is that somewhere in my story, you see pieces of your own and feel a little less alone.

Because healing is possible.
And life gets so much fuller when your body is no longer the center of everything.

If you’ve ever felt confused about chiropractic care—what actually works, what doesn’t, what’s legit, and what feels… a little questionable—this episode is for you.

Today I’m sitting down with Dr. Zane Benson, a chiropractor I trust, to break down what’s real, what’s hype, and how to actually understand your body when it comes to pain, movement, and treatment.

Because there’s a lot of noise in this space.
And a lot of mixed experiences.

And if you’ve ever tried something that didn’t help—or left you feeling skeptical—you’re not alone.

This conversation is about bringing clarity back to all of it.

• What chiropractic care actually is (and why experiences can vary so much)
• Common myths and misconceptions—including the stroke risk conversation
• What’s happening in your body during an adjustment (without making it overly complicated)
• Why pain isn’t random—and how your body is actually communicating with you
• The role of soft tissue, fascia, and why pain can feel like it “spreads”
• Why rehab and movement matter more than quick fixes
• Stretching vs. strengthening—and what actually helps
• Lower back pain, sitting, and why your glutes might be the missing piece
• Women’s health, pregnancy, and postpartum changes that don’t get talked about enough
• The impact of weight and body composition on pain—from a practical, non-judgmental lens

This episode is for you if:

• You feel confused about what actually helps vs. what’s hype
• You want to understand your body instead of just trying random solutions
• You want to discern if chiropractic care is really worth it

You'll leave with: a clearer understanding of your body, your pain, and how to approach both in a way that actually makes sense.
