Hold onto your green smoothies, folks! Today we're sitting down with Jamey Harbottle, who's sharing her wild ride from vegan warrior to reluctant carnivore (spoiler alert: her hormones had other plans). Plus, we're diving into the fun world of brain injuries, chronic insomnia, and why protein is actually your BFF.

• How a car accident turned Jamey's life (and diet) upside down
• The identity crisis of craving meat after 14 years of veganism
• Why sleep isn't just beauty rest (your brain is literally begging for it)
• The hormone plot twists nobody warns you about
• When your body starts making demands like a toddler in a candy store

"I haven't slept in 14 years" (not a flex, but definitely a mood)

"I couldn't get enough meat or fish" (former vegan problems)

"Your health trumps everything" (including your Instagram aesthetic)

00:00 - The accident that changed everything

03:03 - Identity crisis: When veganism stops serving you

05:57 - Brain injuries: More than just a headache

08:53 - The great protein awakening

12:06 - Hormones gone wild

15:08 - The sleep struggle is real [...continues with key timestamps...]

1. Sometimes your body stages an intervention
2. Sleep isn't optional (seriously, we cannot stress this enough)
3. Your identity isn't tied to your diet (mind-blowing, we know)
4. Hormones are the ultimate plot twisters
5. Health > Everything else

Ladies, if you're struggling with:

• Feeling like a traitor to your beliefs
• Chronic exhaustion that coffee can't fix
• Hormones that seem to have their own agenda
• The pressure to stick to one identity forever

You're not alone, and it's okay to change your mind (your hormones might make that decision for you anyway 🤷‍♀️).

• Actually try to sleep (your brain will thank you)
• Listen to your body (even when it's being dramatic)
• Give yourself permission to change
• Join our community of hormone-having humans

Remember: Your body is smarter than your Instagram feed, and sometimes healing looks like eating a burger after being vegan for 14 years. No judgment here!
