It's easy to get caught up in all the health trends—saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, expensive supplements—but at the end of the day, nothing will trump the basics.
In this episode, I'm walking you through two lifestyle changes I've made recently that are supporting my health in a big way. One is a little "crunchy," and one is super accessible. Neither replaces the big rocks of health (like reducing processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, managing stress, and getting good sleep), but both have helped me reinforce the foundation.
Here's what we dive into:
Why I started milling our own flour (and what you're really getting in store-bought flour)
What "bleached" flour actually means—and what that's doing to your body
What's really in dough conditioners (and why you want to avoid them)
How fresh-milled flour tastes better, saves money, and massively improves nutrient density
The simple morning fiber drink I take with psyllium husk and citrus
How fiber helps you detox and reduce inflammation
Why detox pathways matter for fat loss, hormones, and inflammation
And most importantly, how to stop chasing trends and come back to the daily practices that actually move the needle.
Join me for my 4-week Impact Inflammation Group kicking off in January!

| 0:35.0 | And I'm a pump to tell you about two lifestyle shifts I made recently |
| 0:40.1 | and why I made them, but I do not want to be this person that's like, you need a $400 face mask, |

| 1:21.1 | not money spending. But before I get into it, I want to be super, super clear about what I call big rocks and small rocks. |
| 1:30.4 | The big rocks are the primary needle movers and the small rocks are often marketing, hypey, |
| 1:38.6 | really not going to move the needle. |

| 1:48.3 | If you are sleep deprived chronically or endlessly stressed out. |
| 1:53.9 | In my opinion, proven by data, the big rocks that really move the needle for your health are going to be reducing |
