Have you ever followed all the “right” health advice — clean eating, more workouts, less rest — only to feel worse? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode of Before the Salad, Julia Tyrer shares five lessons she learned the hard way on her journey to better health — and why traditional wellness advice often backfires when your hormones are out of balance.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why common “healthy” habits (like low-fat diets or high-intensity workouts) can make hormonal symptoms worse
• How stress and nervous system overload sabotage your best efforts
• Why midsection weight gain isn’t a failure — it’s your body protecting you
• The power of small, nervous-system-friendly changes
• And the truth that you don’t have to do this alone

If you’re tired of chasing quick fixes and ready for a kinder, more effective approach to health — one that works withyour hormones, not against them — this episode is your starting point.
