I know. That’s a dramatic title.
But stick with me - because it might be exactly the wake-up call we need.
When we think about what’s “killing us,” we picture the big stuff: disease, stress, genetics, the unknown. But what if it’s the small, everyday choices - the ones we’ve normalized - that are quietly chipping away at our energy, our strength, our joy… and yes, maybe even our future?
Because here’s the truth:
It’s not usually one big decision that throws our health off course.
It’s the habits we repeat without questioning.
🚩 Let’s get real about a few silent habit killers:
1. Skipping protein and loading up on sugar
You might not be eating “bad,” but if your breakfast is mostly carbs and your lunch is light on protein, your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster, and your metabolism is snoozing. Over time? That affects your energy, your body composition, and your hormones.
2. Sitting more than you move
Our bodies were made to move. Period. And no, you don’t have to run a marathon or join CrossFit. But if most of your day is spent in a chair or on a couch, your muscles, joints, and even your brain chemistry are paying the price.
3. Living in stress mode 24/7
This one is sneaky. You can be smiling on the outside and still be battling chronically high cortisol levels on the inside. That’s the hormone that, when out of balance, messes with your sleep, weight, memory, mood - and over time, your long-term health. Don’t miss the 5-Day Cortisol Reset coming August 18.
4. Saying “I’ll start Monday”… over and over again
Spoiler: there is no perfect time. Start with one habit today. Even the smallest shift sends a message to your brain that you are showing up for yourself.
