Hey there,

Ever feel like wellness became another full-time job?

Counting steps. Trying every new diet. Feeling guilty when we don’t do enough.

My guest this week, Jenn Trepeck, says we’ve been set up to fail — and it’s not because we’re lazy or weak. It’s because the system itself is confusing, exhausting, and, honestly, profitable.

Jenn’s the author of Uncomplicating Wellness, and she breaks it all down in a way that actually makes sense.

We talked about:

• Why “willpower” isn’t the problem (and what really drains it)
• How sleep, stress, and connection matter more than fads
• Why supplements aren’t magic — they’re just tools
• And how to finally define your version of wellness
• 
  

Here’s the line that stopped me mid-conversation:

“We can’t supplement our way out of our lifestyle.”

This episode isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about asking better questions, slowing down, and learning what “feeling well” really means — especially for parents trying to balance everything.
