What is 75 Hard actually like? And what happens when you do it twice?

In this episode of Zen and Tonic: Wellness Unfiltered, I’m joined by my sister Mackenzie to talk about her experience completing the 75 Hard challenge two different times.

We break down what 75 Hard really requires—from two 45-minute workouts and a gallon of water to following a nutrition plan, reading 10 pages a day, taking progress photos, and completely eliminating alcohol—and what makes the challenge so mentally demanding.

Mackenzie shares how her approach changed the second time around, why she focused more on sustainable habits instead of simply making it to day 75, and what she learned about discipline, consistency, recovery, nutrition, and listening to her body.

Whether you're considering doing 75 Hard yourself or simply want to become more disciplined and consistent with your health, this episode is all about finding the structure that helps you create habits that actually last.
