Dr. Kiberd shares her personal journey, which includes regular weightlifting, adequate steps, and protein intake, to highlight the importance of having clear goals. She emphasizes creating personalized plans for her clients, including specific workouts, dietary goals, and sleep patterns, to help them achieve better health without feeling overwhelmed.
