You Don\u2019t Have a Discipline Problem, You Have Health Debt with Bria Gadd","description":" If you feel like you\u2019re doing everything right\u2014working out, eating well, trying to manage your stress\u2014but your body still isn\u2019t responding, you are not crazy. And you\u2019re not alone.   Today on the podcast, I\u2019m joined by Bria Gadd, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer who specializes in female hormones. With more than 15 years of experience in the fitness and nutrition industry, Bria has helped thousands of women navigate the hormonal shifts of their late 30s to 50s. She is also the host of The Period Whisperer Podcast, a top 1% wellness podcast in the world, and has been featured in Fox News, Women\u2019s Health, and leading women\u2019s podcasts including The MidLife Makeover Show.   We talk about the very real difference between being \u201cnot diseased\u201d and actually being optimized, and why the conventional advice to \u201cjust push harder\u201d is the exact opposite of what our bodies actually need. We dive deep into the concept of \u201chealth debt,\u201d why your body might be in survival mode, and how to start communicating with your body instead of fighting it. Whether you\u2019re actively in perimenopause, preparing for it, or just trying to figure out why you feel so exhausted, Bria shares the exact steps to start rebuilding your energy and trust in your body.   In This Episode: Why doing \u201ceverything right\u201d \u2014 cutting calories, working out harder \u2014 can actually backfire and cause weight gain and fatigue. Understanding \u201chealth debt\u201d and how chronic stress puts the female body into survival mode. The critical difference between conventional lab testing and functional lab testing (and why your doctor might say you\u2019re \u201cfine\u201d when you feel terrible). Why perimenopause is actually a gift and an opportunity for a \u201c2.0\u201d phase of life, rather than something to dread. Bria\u2019s perspective on GLP-1s and peptides: when they are a helpful tool versus a dangerous quick fix. The specific functional labs to ask for: GI-MAP, DUTCH Complete, and a full thyroid panel. A realistic, hormone-supporting daily routine, including why you need 30 grams of protein at breakfast.   Resources & Links:   Connect with Bria: Instagram: @bria_period_whisperer Podcast: The Period Whisperer Website: briatheperiodwhisperer.com   Special Offer for Figuring It Out Listeners - Midlife Mojo:   Bria's online membership for women navigating perimenopause and menopause who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding their bodies.
