🚫 Diet soda – Overrated. Artificial sweeteners can mess with your gut and spike cravings. Swap it for sparkling water with lemon.
💪 Creatine – Underrated. Women over 40, this is your secret weapon for muscle, brain health, and recovery.
❄️ Cold plunges – Neutral. Great for inflammation, but don’t do them right after lifting—they can blunt muscle gains.
⚡ Five-hour energy shots – Overrated. A caffeine crash waiting to happen. Hydration, protein, and movement are better long-term fixes.
🌱 Impossible burgers – Overrated. Ultra-processed junk. If you’re plant-based, stick to real protein sources like lentils and tempeh.
🧠 Visualization – Underrated. Your brain rewires based on what you imagine—use this for workouts, confidence, and better sleep.
🌍 Grounding – Underrated. Walking barefoot can lower stress and improve sleep. Try it for 10 minutes a day.
❄️ Frozen fruits & veggies – Underrated. Flash-frozen at peak ripeness, they can be more nutritious than “fresh” produce that’s been sitting for a week.
🥩 Grass-fed beef – Underrated. Loaded with omega-3s, CLA, and amino acids to fuel muscle, metabolism, and longevity.
