Built Not Born Podcast (198) - Katie Hardie: Peak Performance | Energy Management, Real Food & Why Your Body Never Lies πŸ‹οΈ πŸ₯¦ 🧠

Katie Hardie is a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, FDN Practitioner, former endurance athlete, and founder of My PEAK 365 β€” where she helps high performers stop settling for "fine" and start operating at their peak potential.

After following mainstream health rules led her straight into burnout and heartbreak, Katie went looking for a better way β€” and found it under the hood, in hormones, gut health, blood sugar, and energy management.

In this conversation, Katie breaks down the practical, do-it-today tactics that busy parents and professionals can actually use: why there's no one-size-fits-all diet, the one lab test almost nobody gets, the truth about naps and intermittent fasting, mouth taping for better sleep, and why less volume with more intensity beats grinding every day.

The takeaway?

Your body is always talking.

Most of us just never learned how to listen.
