About this episode

Has the pursuit of better health become another form of pressure? Michele Scarlet and Sarah Ball explore wellness culture, health optimization, functional medicine, perimenopause, food rules, supplements, lab testing, health tracking, and the growing pressure women face to constantly “fix” themselves. They discuss when data and testing can be useful and when endless optimization can become obsession while sharing why self-trust, intuition, discernment, balance, and knowing what “enough” feels like may be the real goal.
