She breaks down the hidden dangers of outsourcing your fitness journey to devices that can’t possibly understand your metabolism, hormones, or habits — especially if you’re a woman over 40. With her signature tough love and science-backed approach, Nikkiey gives you the real markers of progress to track, the mindset shifts to make, and the tools to use without becoming a slave to them.
