In this episode we dive into the subtle, yet powerful stressors that could be derailing your health and fitness journey.   While obvious stressors often get the most attention, today we explore the lesser-known culprits: people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and the Fawn response.   Learn how these behaviors, deeply rooted in our psychology and childhood experiences, can manifest as hormonal imbalances, gut issues, and even autoimmune disorders.   We’ll discuss actionable strategies to break free from these patterns, prioritize your well-being, and ultimately achieve your health goals.   Whether you're a health and fitness coach or someone on your own transformation journey, this episode provides the insights you need to recognize and address these hidden challenges.
