6 Things I Wish I Knew At The Beginning Of My Fitness Journey | Ep.27

In one of her most vulnerable episodes yet, Nikkiey Stott opens up about the quiet toll the past year has taken on her body, her health, and her spirit. From the outside, she looked like she had it all together — running a thriving company, showing up on camera, leading a movement. But behind the scenes, her body was sending signals: exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, poor recovery, and more. This episode chronicles what happened when Nikkiey finally paused to dig deeper. She shares her journey through functional lab testing that revealed low thyroid, low testosterone, and adrenal dysfunction — and how years of pushing, forcing, and staying “in control” had led her nervous system into chronic fight-or-flight. What follows is a story of healing: from seeking neurofeedback therapy to rebuilding her relationship with God, learning to soften, surrender, and step out of masculine energy. For any woman who’s been silently struggling while doing everything right, this is the reminder that your body keeps the score — and your healing matters.
