The Rebellious Truth About "Perfect Health Days
Are you tired of feeling like you need to nail every health habit every single day or you've somehow failed? Ready to rebel against the myth that you have to do everything—the workout, the supplements, the meal prep, the stretching—all in one perfect day?
Here's what the wellness industry doesn't always tell you: You don't have to do it all. Not even close.
This conversation with Dr. Nat is going to shift how you think about health habits forever. She's redefining biohacking as finding better, more efficient ways to be healthy—not adding more guilt to your already full plate.
What You'll Discover
✅ Why weekly and monthly habits matter more than daily perfection - Learn how to organize your health goals across different timeframes so you can actually stick with them
✅ The three-tier system for building new habits - Discover which changes are quick wins vs. which ones need serious planning (and why you shouldn't tackle too many at once)
✅ Sleep as your non-negotiable foundation - Why tracking your sleep might reveal you're getting way less than you think (and what to do about it)
✅ The truth about strength training after 50 - Research shows women in their 70s can still build bone density and muscle mass—no excuses, just smart strategies
✅ Why CGMs are now affordable (under $100/month) and how they can give you powerful insights about your unique body
✅ The connection factor - Why your health habits mean nothing if you're trying to do them alone
Key Quotes
On redefining biohacking: "My definition of biohacking is just finding better and more efficient ways to be healthy. I see so many people thinking, 'If I can't go to the gym an hour and a half, four or five times a week, then I might as well not go at all.' That's not how this works."
On the daily perfection trap: "We think we need to do it all in one day—the perfect day where you take all your supplements, do your exercise, do your stretching. It's impossible. Let's face it, it's impossible."

The Social Connection Secret
While we focused on biohacking and habits, Dr. Nat reminded us of something crucial: people who live longest in Blue Zones aren't just eating well and moving—they're deeply connected to community.
Her advice? Find your people. Join a group. Try pickleball. Surround yourself with others on a similar health journey. The social aspect isn't optional—it's essential for longevity and vitality.
Beyond the Basics: When You're Ready
Once you've nailed sleep, movement, and nutrition, Dr. Nat covers advanced topics in her books:
- Hormone optimization (adrenals, thyroid, female hormones)
- Detoxification protocols
- Strategic supplementation
- Advanced biohacking tools
But here's the rebellious truth: you don't get to skip the basics. You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet. You can't supplement your way past terrible sleep.

The Bottom Line
Sometimes the most rebellious thing we can do is refuse to accept limitations that don't actually have to exist. You don't need perfect days. You don't need to do everything. You need consistency over perfection, community over isolation, and curiosity over rigidity.
Your body is capable of building muscle in your 70s. Your sleep can improve. Your blood sugar can stabilize. Your energy can return. But it won't happen by trying to be perfect—it happens by being strategic, consistent, and kind to yourself.
One habit at a time. One week at a time. One choice at a time.
Stay rebellious,
Greg
