Why Most Wellness Plans Miss the Mark

The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I sit down with Andrea Marcellus, founder of AND/life and a leader in the world of integrated wellbeing. We talk about why lasting health starts in the brain and how most people approach wellness in disconnected pieces. Andrea explains the problem with chasing goals without clarity, how burnout stems from low energy, and why mindset is more powerful than any meal plan. She shares a practical way to calm stress in just 60 seconds using breath, balance, and movement. We also touch on the link between cortisol and self-image, and how simple shifts in thought can change everything.
