In this episode, Dr. Galina and Beata unpack the viral “lock-in era” trend and explore what it really means to build routines that nourish rather than drain. From 5 a.m. wake-ups to no-sugar challenges, social media is full of 90-day resets promising transformation—but how do you create habits that actually last?

Together, they reveal the science behind motivation, the “fresh-start effect,” and why cortisol, sleep, and hydration are the underrated foundations of real health. You’ll learn how rigid routines can backfire by spiking stress hormones, and why flexible discipline—combined with self-compassion—is the secret to sustainable progress.

Tune in as they connect the dots between body, mind, and spirit—sharing practical tips to stay balanced through the final stretch of the year. Whether you’re ready for a fall reset or simply craving steadiness amid the holiday rush, this episode will help you finish strong, grounded, and fully functional.
