In this episode, Dani, Mishi, and Abby sit down to unpack a question that most people think they know the answer to…What does it actually mean to be healthy?
Because right now, we’re being flooded with wellness advice, trends, and “healthy” lifestyles…
But much of what’s being sold as health is actually just a look. And that’s where things start to break down.
In this conversation, we challenge the mainstream definition of health and bring it back to what actually matters:
👉 your physiology
👉 your menstrual cycle
👉 and your overall well-being (not just how your body looks)
We talk about why your cycle should be front and center in the health conversation and how ignoring it is one of the biggest blind spots in modern wellness.
In this episode, we cover:
Why most “health” advice is actually selling you an aesthetic
The difference between looking healthy vs. being healthy
Why your menstrual cycle is a key indicator of true health
How to use your cycle (charting/FAM) as a diagnostic tool
The disconnect between diet culture and female physiology
How societal conditioning shapes your definition of health
The mental and emotional side of health (that often gets ignored)
Why many women are praised for habits that are actually harming them
How to redefine health in a way that actually supports your body
Key Takeaway:
Health isn’t something you can see at a glance.
It’s reflected in how your body is functioning and for women, your menstrual cycle is one of the clearest signals you have.
If your version of health is costing you your cycle, your energy, or your relationship with food…
it’s worth asking: 👉 Is it actually health? Or just what you’ve been taught to chase?
