As Studio 5 wraps up its final week, the team is celebrating the smart and talented contributors who have shaped the show’s voice and vision.
Among them is Health Contributor Miki Eberhardt, whose presence over the past four years has transformed the way many women think about food, fitness, and self-worth.
Changing the Conversation Around Health
Miki’s impact has been profound. She didn’t just talk about health—she redefined it. “Fear is a motivator, and it sells and it clicks,” she said, reflecting on how fear-based messaging around food and parenting used to dominate her thinking. “But not long term and it doesn’t feel good to the soul.”
Over time, Miki released that fear and embraced a more holistic view of wellness. “Sometimes I feel like the stress and worry around that can actually be more problematic to our health than eating the cookie in the first place,” she added.
From Health to Whole-Woman Wellness
What began as a focus on nutrition evolved into a broader conversation about wellness. “You came in and we set out to talk about health, and suddenly along the way we started talking about wellness… True wellness being the whole woman and her wellness,” host Brooke Walker noted. Miki’s approach helped viewers shift from chasing a “skinny mentality” to striving for strength, vitality, and self-compassion.
Memorable Moments and Meaningful Messages
From being dragged behind a horse at Ballerina Farm to sharing behind-the-scenes surprises, Miki brought humor and heart to every segment. One standout moment was when she said, “The size of your body is the least interesting thing about you.” That message resonated deeply with viewers and summed up her philosophy.
A Final Word to Viewers
In her parting message, Miki encouraged women to reclaim their power and tune out the noise. “We live in a time when there’s really loud external voices… that may think they know what’s best for you,” she said. “I don’t think we need to give that power away.”
Instead, she urged viewers to become stewards of their own bodies by focusing on proven habits: “Eating a wide variety of food… finding daily movement that you enjoy… getting enough sleep… spending time in nature… and lowering stress hormones.”
Her final advice was simple but powerful: “If we can truly lean in and listen to the cues that our body tells us… the most important thing after that is that we just be kind to ourselves as we figure that out.”
Not About the Scale—All About the Soul
Miki’s legacy on Studio 5 is one of empowerment, education, and empathy. She reminded us that wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, intention, and kindness.
