In this episode, I explain a method used in my health coaching called the Buffer Method. It is a practical way to respond to those early "I feel off" signals without overreacting, and without ignoring them.
You will learn the step-by-step process:
Recognize the signal and write it down clearly.
Write down the story, fears, and assumptions that show up.
Identify which "buffer" might be running thin: sleep, nutrition, stress, or recovery.
Run a mini 1-week experiment with 1 small change.
Let your body give you feedback: better, worse, or different. Adjust accordingly.
This is how healthy aging begins.
