In this episode, Tiffany tackles a hard but empowering truth: most chronic health conditions don’t appear out of nowhere. While genetics and unavoidable circumstances absolutely play a role, many of the symptoms women are struggling with today are also the accumulated result of repeated daily habits — how we eat, how little we move, how chronically stressed and overstimulated we’ve become, how poorly we sleep, and how often convenience wins over long-term health.This conversation is not about blame

In this episode, we are revisiting an old favorite: a Harvard-backed breakdown of 15 “micro habits” that quietly sabotage your health without you even realizing it.

If you’ve been saying things like “I’m tired all the time,” “my brain feels foggy,” “I’m doing the right things...

In this episode of Strong Like a Mother, Tiffany breaks down energy (nutrient) partitioning — the idea that getting “leaner” isn’t only about eating fewer calories, it’s also about where your calories go once they’re in your body.
