Why People Stop Taking Care of Their Health When They Need It Most
Mon Feb 02 2026
When life starts to feel like too much, most people don’t lean into their health. They step away from it. Workouts get skipped. Meals turn into “whatever’s easiest.” And taking care of yourself starts to feel optional.
Not because you don’t care, but because overwhelm makes backing off feel like the best move.
So in this episode, we talk about why overwhelm knocks people off track so fast when it comes to weight loss and fitness. We break down the quiet loop it creates, why quitting feels like relief but usually makes things worse, and the simple reframe that helps people stay consistent when everything feels heavy. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m overwhelmed, I’m out,” this is for you.
