Whether it comes to your exercise or your nutrition, you do wanna make sure that you're not doing anything crazy, that you want to be consistent over time.

Being able to dive deeper into barriers of like, what is it that's preventing you from truly achieving optimal health may even be a more beneficial place to start to really understand what that you personally need instead of following an external checklist. Nutrition is never one size fits all, and you always want to be able to listen to what works best for your body, identify where you may be holding yourself back, self-sabotaging, whether stress is playing a role, etc., because all of us are so unique.
