Small steps, big impact: Transforming your health one day at a time with Traci Kasper

Thrive Like a Mother Podcast

Ready for a health transformation that actually sticks? Meet Traci Kasper, living proof that it's never too late to reclaim your wellbeing—even after decades of less-than-ideal habits.

Traci's story will resonate with anyone who's ever felt trapped in survival mode. After turning 40 and facing a potentially debilitating autoimmune diagnosis, Traci made the decision to transform her health despite years of not eating food that fueled her and avoiding movement at all costs. Her candid admission that she once survived on grilled cheese, pizza, and ice cream while believing exhaustion was just part of aging makes her remarkable transformation even more inspiring.

Traci's emphasis on sustainability over perfection sets her apart from in the wellness space. "Consistency compounds," she explains, highlighting how small, manageable changes accumulate over time to create profound transformation. Through her 30-day elimination protocol, Traci discovered inflammatory triggers that had been silently deteriorating her health for years. The results were undeniable: 30 pounds lost, clear skin, unprecedented energy, and a complete reversal of her health trajectory.

Traci shares her wisdom in today's episode including:

• her two non-negotiable wellness habits (pure water and green supplements)
• why shopping the perimeter of grocery stores transforms your nutrition
• how affirmations can rewire negative self-talk patterns

Her experience completing the rigorous 75 Hard program—initially quitting but later succeeding when doing it in honor of a friend who'd lost her baby—demonstrates how our "why" fundamentally changes our follow-through.

Whether you're struggling with chronic health issues, feeling stuck in a body that doesn't feel like home, or simply ready for more energy and vitality, Traci's mantra offers hope: "There's always another way."
