Tara Garrison is a leading health optimization coach, founder of HIGHER Coaching —a coaching program focused on training, nutrition, mindset, and biohacking for high performers, including celebrities, professional athletes, and executives. She is the author of Short-Term Keto, creator of the Coach Tara App and HIGHER Retreats, and a passionate advocate for metabolic flexibility and evidence-based wellness. A mom of four, avid weightlifter, and Boston Marathon finisher, Tara empowers people to achieve peak physical and mental performance without burnout. In this episode, Tara debunks common myths about cortisol, reframing it as an essential energy-mobilizing hormone rather than just a stress villain. She addresses fears around fasted HIIT training potentially causing fat gain, exhaustion, or hormonal disruption—especially in perimenopause—emphasizing that acute cortisol spikes are normal and issues often stem from broader factors like underfueling, poor recovery, and life stress. Tara also covers misconceptions about breakfast timing, supplement use without testing, and assuming symptoms like burnout always mean high cortisol, advocating for proper testing and personalized approaches.    RESOURCES: Learn more about Tara here: http://taragarrison.com Instagram: @coachtaragarrison @higher.coaching @insideouthealthpodcast Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro: Addressing common cortisol myths and misconceptions circulating online 01:02 – Sponsorship mention (Peluva minimalist shoes) 02:54 – Overview of cortisol testing (DUTCH Plus and saliva tests vs. blood tests) 04:05 – Myth 1: Fasted training (like HIIT) causes dangerously high cortisol, leading to fat gain 12:05 – Myth 2: Fasted HIIT universally "wrecks" hormones (e.g., sex hormones). 20:28 – Myth 3: Symptoms like stress, burnout, and weight loss resistance always mean high cortisol. 26:22 – Myth 4: Using supplements to "balance" cortisol without testing. 31:38 – Myth 5: You must eat breakfast within the first hour of waking to prevent cortisol spikes. 42:30 – Nuance/avoiding oversimplified advice   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

Jenni Harris, Will's middle daughter, is a member of the fifth generation of the Harris family to tend cattle at White Oak Pastures. After living on the farm her entire life, Jenni went to Valdosta State University and earned a degree in Business Marketing, graduating in 2009. She remained intimately involved in the family business throughout her studies. After graduating, Jenni set out to learn the industry. She moved to Atlanta where she interned at Buckhead Beef, a SYSCO company. She put in time in every department, from shipping and receiving to the cut shop, and was later hired to work as a sales associate. In June of 2010, Jenni returned home to Early County to work for White Oak Pastures full time. As the Director of Marketing, Jenni spends her time focusing on the balance of ecommerce growth and wholesale relationships. Jenni is the proud mother of Jack and Lottie Harris, and wife of Director of Specialty Products, Amber Harris. In this episode, Jenni Harris shares how their multi-generational farm shifted from industrial to regenerative agriculture, restoring soil health and biodiversity through multi-species rotational grazing that mimics nature. She debunks the idea that eliminating meat consumption is the problem, arguing that well-managed livestock are essential to the carbon cycle and rural economies. She explains that cheap-food demand drove the rise of destructive industrial practices, and the real solution lies in consumers supporting local regenerative farmers to heal the land and rebuild a balanced food system.   RESOURCES: Learn more about White Oak Pastures here: https://whiteoakpastures.com Instagram: @whiteoakpastures Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whiteoakpastures/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/whiteoakpastures Blog: https://blog.whiteoakpastures.com/blog Watch the water cycle vide mentioned here: https://youtu.be/85El8PzfKa4?si=9tIJMghJ03DAZRVz Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 0:00 Intro 7:18 White Oak Pastures 14:50 What regenerative agriculture is about 23:47 The impact of stopping meat consumption 33:33 Farmers are responding to consumer demand 39:80 Industrialized practices tip off nature's balance 50:20 Support local farmers   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?
