[85] - Rachel Li - What does being "healthy" look like?

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

What if your perception of being healthy is out of sync with true wellness?

My good friend and colleague, Rachel Li, and I are taking a fresh look at the robust concept of health beyond the conventional norms.  We move past the physical aspects and unfold the intricate web of factors contributing to well-being - life choices, accessibility, family dynamics, and even economic status.

Rachel and I delve into the interlocking pillars of health - physical, emotional, social, intellectual, psychological and economic health - and their undeniable impact on our well-being. We highlight the pivotal role of regular health check-ups, the distinction of health beyond BMI, and the influential practice of gratitude.   As we venture into the realm of emotional and mental health, we discuss the potent influence of food and the subsequent fear of losing control. Here, we introduce mindful eating as an effective strategy to manage these anxieties and ensure a healthy relationship with food.

In our engaging discussion, we also shed light on the significant role of mental and emotional health in achieving overall wellness. We underline that fear and anxiety can hinder progress towards better physical health and how resilience can be enhanced by allowing ourselves to make mistakes and learn from them.

Join us as we redefine the concept of health, shifting the focus from the mere absence of disease to a holistic, balanced, and empowering view of wellness.
