Ever feel completely exhausted after a long day but realize you’ve barely moved at all?" In this insightful first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Lotte Arndal, a seasoned health coach and gym owner with 25 years of experience, to uncover the surprising disconnect between mental and physical exhaustion. Lotte reveals that many people mistake mental fatigue for physical tiredness, leading them to believe they're more active than they actually are. Through her unique, data-driven approach using activity sensors, Lotte helps clients see the reality of their movement patterns - and how simple changes can dramatically improve their health and energy levels.
Lotte also shares her philosophy of keeping health simple and balanced. She discusses how trendy fitness fads, extreme diets, and biohacking often confuse people, pulling them away from sustainable, long-term health habits. Instead, she promotes everyday movement, normal eating, and a common-sense approach to well-being. This episode is a must for anyone looking to break free from complicated health trends and find practical, science-based ways to improve both physical and mental health.
