In this episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Episode 184<\/a>, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Renee Davis. Renee is a 46-year-old mom of five from Columbia, SC. who, for years, felt stuck in a body that did not feel like her own. She tried hard and stayed hopeful, but nothing seemed to last.<\/span><\/p>\n

Renee opens up about postpartum depression and deep fatigue. She also shares what it felt like to be told her labs were \u201cnormal.\u201d Even so, she did not feel normal. At her worst, she crashed so hard she was nearly bedridden. That season forced her to keep searching for real answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then things started to change. Renee found a plan she could follow without extremes. She learned how to build momentum with simple habits. You will hear what helped most, including morning hydration, the Super Fuel shake, and consistent strength training.
