In Episode 127 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel sit down with Kristin Oja, DNP, FNP-C, IFCMCP, founder and CEO of STAT Wellness, for a powerful conversation about functional medicine, longevity, hormones, stress, and the hidden markers of health most people overlook.
Kristin shares her journey from running a backyard bootcamp to building a multi-location wellness company focused on helping people uncover the root causes of their health challenges instead of simply masking symptoms.
Together, they discuss:
• Why “normal” lab work doesn’t always mean optimal health • The connection between insulin, cortisol, DHEA, and chronic stress • Why muscle mass is one of the most important health markers for women • The role of strength training in longevity and hormone balance • Why carbohydrates aren’t the enemy • How wearable tech and HRV can help track recovery and stress • The importance of personalized health strategies instead of one-size-fits-all advice
Kristin also shares her philosophy: “Little by little, a little becomes a lot.”
This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone trying to improve energy, body composition, hormonal health, and long-term wellness without extremes or burnout.
