We're kicking off 2026 with a conversation that makes you feel aligned, educated, and not overwhelmed about your health goals. Today’s guest is Andres Assef, a human performance + optimization strategist and the owner of MPWR Wellness—and you will be absolutely blown away with this conversation.

If you’ve tried to lose weight before and nothing sticks… if you’re exhausted by trendy diets… if you want 2026 to be the year something actually shifts in your body—this episode is for you. And if you’re looking for a quick, “bippity-bop-boo” fix… you already know this isn’t that.

We go deep into what actually moves the needle (and what quietly sabotages progress), including the truth about GLP-1s, muscle loss, stress + cortisol, and why doing the most is often the fastest way to burn out and quit. We also talk about the mindset piece: the all-or-nothing spiral, the guilt cycle, and why the most powerful question you can ask yourself this year is… “What happens if I don’t?”

Want to kickstart 2026? This episode is for you.

"Our time is our most non-renewable resource. If you’re constantly counting down the hours, the days, the weeks—it's not the time that’s the problem. It’s the place." -- Meg

Have you ever had that quiet thought creep in: “There has to be more than this…”—and then immediately talked yourself out of exploring it? In today’s episode, we’re getting honest about what’s actually keeping so many people stuck.

I walk through the three most common excuses I hear—especially from thoughtful, capable, self-aware people who want more from life but feel frozen where they are. These excuses often sound practical, responsible, and even selfless. But over time, they quietly stall growth and keep you looping in the same patterns.

I also share pieces of my own journey—from living a life that looked “right” on the outside to making aligned choices that changed everything. This episode will help you get honest about what you want, identify the beliefs holding you back, and give you the practical tools to finally move toward it. Because the cost of staying the same is far greater than the cost of going for it.
