What if the most powerful health habit isn’t a supplement, a workout, or a diet, but truth?
In this episode, Dr. Kara Foster explores the biological, emotional, and societal impact of authenticity. From stress hormones and heart-rate variability to community trust and connection, she breaks down how pretending affects your body, and why being your real self might be the most overlooked medicine of all. Kara shares insights from her work in healthcare and local leadership, blending science, story, and soul to show how living in alignment can transform not only your health, but your community. Because when we stop performing and start showing up as ourselves, we don’t just feel better, we help the world heal a little too.
