The 15% That Changed Everything for Me: Why Everyday Movement Matters More Than You Think

We’ve all heard that weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise — but what if I told you that only 5% of that comes from formal workouts… and the other 15% comes from simple, everyday movement?

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how my own weight loss journey began after my back went out — when I couldn’t do structured exercise. I had to rely on nutrition and gentle movement throughout my day. And that’s when everything started to change.

You’ll learn: 💪 The difference between structured and non-structured movement 🏡 Why simple, everyday movement (like walking, standing, cleaning, and stretching) matters so much — especially after 50 🍳 How pairing movement with balanced nutrition creates lasting results 💡 Easy ways to add more natural movement into your day — no gym required

If you’ve been feeling stuck or believe you have to “work out harder” to lose weight, this episode will show you a more realistic, sustainable path — one that works with your body, not against it.

🎙️ Listen now and start seeing how small steps can create big shifts.
