#221 Why Perfection in One Pillar Isn’t the Answer: Finding Balance in Midlife Health
Jan 01, 2026🎙️ New Podcast Alert! 🌟
Are you laser-focused on having the perfect diet—no sugar, no gluten, no dairy—but still feel exhausted, stressed, or stuck? You’re not alone. In this episode of Menopause Made Easy with Tanya, we explore the dangers of perfectionism in health and how it can sabotage your well-being when it blinds you to the bigger picture.
I’ll introduce you to two women—Perfectionist Penny and Balanced Betty—to highlight how aiming for “perfect” in one pillar (like nutrition) can lead to imbalance in others (like sleep, stress, or mindset). You'll learn how to embrace a more flexible, seasonal approach to health that leads to long-term energy, joy, and ease—without guilt or burnout.
What You’ll Learn:
-
Why focusing only on food or exercise isn't enough
-
How stress, sleep, and mindset are just as vital as nutrition and movement
-
The nervous system’s role in perfectionism
-
The difference between control and curiosity in your health habits
-
5 takeaways to help you shift from "perfect" to "balanced"
Takeaway Reminder:
Let go of the need to do it all perfectly. Small, consistent actions across all 5 pillars of health—nutrition, movement, mindset, sleep, and stress—create the vibrant life you deserve. 💫
