Stop Chasing Perfection: How Real Healing Starts for Women (Faith, Hormones, Priorities) | Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany

On Healing Horizons, we challenge the myth of “perfect health” with Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany, a St. Louis–based physician and founder of Virt Vitality Medical & Wellness Consulting. Drawing from her near-fatal preeclampsia experience and years treating high-performing women, Amy reframes wellness as values-aligned living across body, mind, spirit, and emotions. We unpack perimenopause and cognitive shifts, why “time management” is really priority management, and how to design simple, weekly rhythms that actually stick. If you’ve been hustling for flawless routines, this conversation helps you drop perfectionism and build practical, faith-anchored habits that support sustainable energy, clarity, and purpose.

About the guest  :

Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany is a physician and the founder of Virt Vitality Medical & Wellness Consulting. After surviving life-threatening preeclampsia while pregnant with twins, she rebuilt her practice around women’s holistic health—helping clients align faith, family, fitness, and purposeful work without chasing perfection.

 

Key takeaways :

• Perfection isn’t health: Real wellness is iterative—continuous assessment across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual domains.

• Priority > time management: Align daily actions to top values so decisions become simpler and regret decreases.

• Name your Top 3 values: Spend a few focused hours selecting them; review as seasons change.

• Faith-first structure: Place the “big rocks” (faith, family, fitness) on the calendar before work; let the rest fill in.

• Perimenopause matters: Fluctuating estrogen can temporarily affect mental sharpness; plan high-focus work when you feel most resourced and give grace when cognition dips.

• Schedule all four quadrants weekly: Movement, nourishment, reflection/prayer, connection—none gets chronically ignored.

• From failure-fear to regret-avoidance: Choose actions you won’t regret rather than chasing faultless outcomes.

• Simple self-audit: Score each life domain 1–10 (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, relationships). Set 5-week/5-month/5-year targets and work backward to today’s next step.
