In this raw and deeply personal episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm opening up about something far beyond food, fasting, or hormones: my spiritual transformation.

Over the past several years, I've experienced tremendous success—and tremendous loss. What started as a nutrition therapy business rooted in service began to feel more like striving. I found myself chasing downloads, metrics, and content calendars… and losing sight of who I was really called to be.

✨ In this episode, I share:

Why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for a season
How I realized I was idolizing my business
The power of obedience and stillness when life feels out of control
What God is showing me about rest, identity, and true healing
How I'm rebuilding my work around Him—not around hustle

This is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether you're prioritizing spiritual health as much as physical.

✅ Key Topics Covered

The unspoken pressure behind business success in the health world
Recognizing when social media becomes spiritual distraction
How stepping away brought clarity to your faith and family
What it means to trust God with your business and your purpose
Encouragement for others stuck in the cycle of "doing more"
