Kelley Nemiro sits down with Miesha Tate for a real conversation on women’s health, hormones, and why so many women feel tired, anxious, and “off” despite being told everything is normal.
Drawing from her experience working with women and her own journey through hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, and disordered eating, Kelley breaks down how stress, under-eating, and overtraining can quietly disrupt the body. She explains why most doctors aren’t testing the right markers, how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and thyroid impact energy and mood, and why symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and anxiety shouldn’t be dismissed.
