Rachel brings her healthcare background, real-life perspective, and passion for helping people take better care of themselves. Together, they talk about why so many women feel stuck even when they are working hard, why eating too little can slow progress, and why the belief that “cardio is king” may be one of the biggest fitness myths holding women back. This conversation is for anyone who feels drained, frustrated, or ready to quit because they are not seeing results.
