In this episode, I sit down with Coach Chris Collins for a real, open conversation about the power of habits, the importance of protein, and how supplements like creatine and peptides can enhance health from the inside out.

We talk about mom life, moving cities, staying consistent when life feels chaotic, and how morning routines can completely transform your mindset and results. Chris brings his integrative success perspective, and we dive into what it means to truly take care of yourself not just for aesthetics, but for longevity, energy, and balance.

Whether you’re a busy mom trying to juggle it all or simply looking for inspiration to stay consistent with your health, this conversation will leave you motivated to start where you are and do the small things that matter.
