Your Brain Still Thinks You're 25. Your Body Doesn't | Ask an Expert
Let's talk about why high-achieving people wait so long to get help, what stress is actually doing to your body, why "eat less, move more" is the wrong advice for women, and the one breathing practice that takes four minutes and works.
William J. FerrellonJun 25, 2026Jenny Lam has been working in the wellness industry in Hong Kong for over 25 years. In this episode of Ask an Expert, we talk about why high-achieving people wait so long to get help, what stress is actually doing to your body, why "eat less, move more" is the wrong advice for women, and the one breathing practice that takes four minutes and works. What we cover:
- Why most people only seek help for a wedding, an injury, or a crisis
- The denial that keeps people stuck ("you think you're still in your 20s")
- Why you lose 3–7% of your muscle mass every year after 30
- How stress shows up physically, and what a coach can read just from your posture
- Why fasting works differently for women (and why cortisol is the enemy)
- Sleep: why it's the foundation everything else is built on
- What a real wellness team looks like (hint: it's not just a PT)
- Box breathing: the four-minute Navy SEAL practice anyone can start tonight
