The Serious Side of Stress (And Why Wellness Matters More Than Ever) This is a different kind of episode. As Lisa approaches 50, she reflects on her personal story, the loss of her mum at 60, and why she teaches wellness in a much deeper way than just fitness or fat loss.

In this episode, Lisa explores the real impact of chronic stress on women’s health , especially in midlife, where hormonal changes amplify the effects on the body, mind, and nervous system. This isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness. And understanding why doing things differently now matters.
