Your Truth
Episode 46
Tuesday, 28 October, 2025
You’ve heard it all: “The truth about carbs,” “The truth about hormones,” “The truth about fasting.” But here’s the real truth—context matters, and no single “truth” out there applies to every woman, every body, or every season of life.In this episode, I break down why most health advice is only a sliver of the full picture—and why lasting change doesn't come from copying and pasting what worked for someone else. Instead, you’ll learn how to approach your health like a scientist: with curiosity, patience, and small, consistent actions that actually get down into your cells. You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in the wrong story.Here’s what we cover:Why most “truths” about health are missing contextThe real reason your results aren’t changingHow long it actually takes to see change at the cellular levelThe drip-drip-drip method vs. the bucket approach to health5 evidence-based habits to start today: walk, track, sleep, plan, eat proteinWhat your biology needs (and what it doesn’t)There’s no magic protocol. Just consistent inputs over time. Start anywhere. Because anywhere is better than “someday.”Get Weekly Health Tips: thrivehealthcoachllc.comLet's Connect:@ashleythrivehealthcoach or via email: ashley@thrivehealthcoachingllc.comPodcast Produced by Virtually You!Sources: • Barrès, R., Yan, J., Egan, B., Treebak, J.
