572. THE Training Episode of the Year: How to Find Balance Between Life, Training and Hormones with Sal DiStefano

What if your drive to “do more” in the gym is actually the thing holding your health back? In this conversation with Mind Pump host and fitness expert Sal Di Stefano, I dive into the often-overlooked psychology of overtraining and how self-punishment disguised as discipline can wreck hormones, metabolism, and mental health. We talk about the fine line between pushing your limits and pushing your body into dysfunction—especially for women navigating thyroid issues, hormonal shifts, or autoimmune conditions. Sal and I unpack why chronic stress and over-exercising can trigger thyroid problems, why your body clings to fat when you’re doing “everything right,” and how to spot when fitness has turned from self-care into self-sabotage. We also get real about the emotional side of body image, aging, and learning to train from a place of self-respect rather than self-criticism. This episode is packed with breakthroughs that could completely change how you view fitness, health, and your relationship with your body.
