Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with Andrea Marcellus, founder of AND/life and a leader in the world of integrated wellbeing. We talk about why lasting health starts in the brain and how most people approach wellness in disconnected pieces. Andrea explains the problem with chasing goals without clarity, how burnout stems from low energy, and why mindset is more powerful than any meal plan. She shares a practical way to calm stress in just 60 seconds using breath, balance, and movement. We also touch on the link between cortisol and self-image, and how simple shifts in thought can change everything.

that people have that separates us into these categories, subcategories, these different niches and

1:12.3

gurisms that exist out there. What is the one thing that you think causes that separation

1:18.1

where we feel as if we need categorization in buckets for well-being? Well, I think there's
