From On the X · 1:13:31
Show by IRONCLAD
In this episode of On The X, Chris Irwin sits down with former pro volleyball player, model, and wellness entrepreneur Gabby Reece. She reflects on how an unconventional childhood split between Long Island and St. Thomas, and being 6'3" at 15 taught her self-acceptance early. They discuss how resilience is often built through adversity, and moving your body can be one of the most effective ways to process it. Gabby discusses the pressures young athletes face, the value of play, and trusting the “whisper inside” alongside reason. She closes with lessons on brain health and Alzheimer’s risk, wellness fundamentals for women, and how HRT can transform your health.
