The Wellness Myth That’s Burning Teams Out with Todd Whitthorne

GDA Speakers Episode 32

On this episode of Backstage Pass, Gail Davis sits down with Todd Whitthorne, Emmy Award–winning broadcaster and former senior executive at the Cooper Aerobic Center, to explore why health isn’t a mystery — it’s a puzzle — and how small, intentional habits can lead to meaningful, lasting change.

  • How the most important conversation you have each day is the one you have with yourself

  • How small, consistent habits create sustainable change
  • The connection between physical health and emotional resilience
  • Why strength training is essential for long-term health and confidence
  • Simple ways to improve sleep, nutrition, and daily movement
