How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
I learned the craziest life lesson this week, and I cannot believe it took me 44 years on the planet to actually realize this. I’m so excited to share it because I think, in some way, it applies to everybody in at least one area of life. For me, this shift came through organization. I’ve always told myself that I’m a creative person. I’m always building things, creating things, and planning adventures, so I’m not organized. I’m creative, not structured. But here’s what I realized: my comfort zone was actually a cage I put myself in without even realizing it. And the wildest part...

If you are someone that sometimes gets caught up in drama… this podcast is going to be so great for you. The sneaky thing about getting involved in drama is that it doesnt feel like it’s taking anything away from you… but its actually taking away so much. First, the time… time spent on drama is time not spent on other things. And other things that make you feel alive and bring you joy… or that feel like progress towards your goals. Simply a minute spent doing one thing is a minute not spent doing something else. And the toll it takes on our headspace is so sneaky...

One question in this podcast… just one. I think it’s one of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves and if we really listen to the answer, it can be the unlock to your big dreams, no exaggeration. Here it is…. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Because the truth is… the answer to that question is the blueprint for the life you’re actually meant to live. But most people never chase it. Most people talk themselves out of their dreams before they ever take a single step. They convince themselves they’re being “realistic.” Someone...

Today we are talking about approaching one thing you do in a new way… that will positively benefit your life in lots of ways. It’s the way you plan your meals. It’s the shift of thinking about food or meals when you start to feel hungry or when it’s about time to eat… to thinking about meals ahead of time.. sometimes a few hours and other times a few days before. It’s actually EASIER than doing it last minute because you can plan for a few meals at once rather than each meal like a fire drill when its time to eat… it can be cheaper because you aren’t having...

I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it’s the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I’m going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being “not sick” and being truly healthy and if you aren’t getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don’t know what’s going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won’t go away. When a doctor orders it because...

This podcast is all about the last 4 hours of your day, everyday. There is so much focus on morning routines. What time you wake up, what you drink, what you journal, what workout you do, what affirmation you say. But the truth is, your day doesn't start in the morning. Your day starts the night before. Most of us begin the day with good energy, good intentions, and some level of clarity. But by the end of the day, we are tired. We are mentally full. We have made hundreds of decisions. We don’t have the same motivation, discipline, or emotional capacity. ...

The silver lining in spending so much time in hospitals with my husband for his heart condition is that I’ve adapted what I now call… a hospital bed perspective. It’s basically like this… If I was stuck in a hospital bed today… What would I be dying to do? What would I make time for? Who would I make time for? What would I prioritize? It’s easy to be in our routine and put things off or not realize that we aren’t prioritizing the things and people that we really enjoy the most... But all of a sudden, when you can’t do those things, it becomes really...

This podcast episode is about being delusional in the healthiest way possible I really think the worst advice I’ve ever been given is be realistic Because it’s such a dream killer and creates this cycle of limiting beliefs in your mind I just think that too often we put ourselves in a box without realizing it and the moment we break out of that box and realize just how capable we are- we can really accomplish anything we want. if we just keep going, just keep getting back up just never stop I believe so much in thoughts become things and the story you tell yourself becomes the life you...
info_outlineSo, today I’m going to try to convince you to do the same.
Because there is a huge difference between being “not sick” and being truly healthy and if you aren’t getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don’t know what’s going on.
Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong.
When they feel bad.
When they are exhausted.
When a symptom won’t go away.
When a doctor orders it because something already happened.
Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively.
How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it’s almost impossible without bloodwork.
It tells you how your hormones are functioning.
How inflamed your body is.
How well you are absorbing nutrients.
How your cholesterol is trending.
How stressed your nervous system is.
How your metabolism is working.
How your immune system is functioning.
Today’s episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem. Let’s go!
Your blood work is your internal dashboard.
It’s crazy that most people are driving their body blind!!
I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it. I’m going to break it all down today.
Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything.
We look at what’s trending up.
What’s trending down.
What needs support.
What needs to be addressed.
We adjust supplements.
We talk about lifestyle changes.
We sometimes talk about peptides.
We look at stress markers like cortisol.
We look at hormones.
We look at inflammation.
We look at cholesterol.
We look at nutrient deficiencies.
It’s not just “do you have a disease.”
It’s “what is your body asking for.”
And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do.
Today’s episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses.
Because knowledge is power.
And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage.
***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers
When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant.
You can’t manage what you don’t measure.
They talk constantly about biomarkers.
Blood markers.
Hormones.
Cholesterol.
Glucose.
Inflammation.
Nutrients.
Stress markers.
Not because numbers are the goal.
Because trends tell the truth.
You don’t need to wait until something is “out of range” to take action.
You can see patterns forming.
You can see directions your health is moving.
You can intervene early.
Longevity is not built by reacting to disease.
Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up.
Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside.
Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs.
*** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot
Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm.
It’s long enough for meaningful changes to occur.
It’s short enough to catch problems early.
It’s frequent enough to personalize your approach.
This cadence allows you to:
• See how supplements are actually working
• Know if lifestyle changes are helping
• Track hormones as they shift
• Monitor cholesterol trends
• Watch inflammation markers
• Identify deficiencies before symptoms
• See how stress is impacting your body
It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment.
Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in.
“How is my body actually doing?”
“What does it need right now?”
“What needs to change?”
***The Power of Baselines
One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines.
When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes.
If something shifts, you see it faster.
If you get sick, you have something to compare to.
If symptoms show up, you’re not starting from zero.
Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint.
This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels.
Medicine is often built around population averages.
But health is personal.
Your optimal range is not always the same as “normal.”
Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body.
***Personalization Instead of Guessing
Most people take supplements blindly.
They try what’s trending.
What a friend is taking.
What TikTok says.
What an ad promises.
Blood work removes guessing.
You stop throwing things at your body and hoping.
You start making informed decisions.
When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems.
We are optimizing.
We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing.
We talk about hormones.
We talk about stress.
We talk about sleep.
We talk about hydration.
We talk about inflammation.
We talk about recovery.
If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery.
If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support.
It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game.
***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too
This is not just physical.
Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load.
Stress hormones.
Inflammation.
Blood sugar instability.
Nutrient depletion.
Your body keeps the receipts.
Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes.
Sometimes the answer is not another supplement.
Sometimes it’s rest.
Sleep.
Boundaries.
Sunlight.
Movement.
Slowing down.
It’s incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly.
It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence.
***How I Do It and How You Could Do It
The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive.
I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house.
Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything.
We take our time.
We look at the full picture.
We build a plan.
But you do not have to do it that way.
You can ask your doctor to order labs.
You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you’re not waiting forever.
You can get a basic panel and build from there.
You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor.
This doesn’t have to be complicated.
It just has to be consistent.
***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make
We spend money on convenience.
On clothes.
On food.
On homes.
On trips.
On businesses.
But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health.
Energy.
Mood.
Confidence.
Focus.
Longevity.
Relationships.
Joy.
Blood work every 90 days is not an expense.
It is intelligence.
It is prevention.
It is personalization.
It is early detection.
It is self-leadership.
It is saying, “I care about how long I live and how well I live.”
***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong.
But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time.
Blood work lets you hear the whispers.
It lets you see trends before problems.
Adjust before crashes.
Support before burnout.
Correct before disease.
For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself.
How am I really doing?
What does my body need?
What needs to change?
What needs support?
It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it.
And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt.
So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this.
Don’t wait for something to go wrong. Start tracking your health while things are going right.
There’s nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!
