On this episode of Backstage Pass, Gail Davis sits down with Todd Whitthorne, Emmy Award–winning broadcaster and former senior executive at the Cooper Aerobic Center, to explore why health isn’t a mystery — it’s a puzzle — and how small, intentional habits can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

Key topics in this episode include:

  • Why health is a puzzle, not a mystery — and why most people already have the pieces
  • The role priorities play in burnout, exhaustion, and overwhelm
  • How the most important conversation you have each day is the one you have with yourself
  • Todd’s 1% rule: why 14 minutes a day can reset energy, focus, and mindset
  • The 14/90 framework: committing to 14 minutes a day for 90 days
  • How small, consistent habits create sustainable change
  • The connection between physical health and emotional resilience
  • Why strength training is essential for long-term health and confidence
  • Simple ways to improve sleep, nutrition, and daily movement
