30. Why Aren't We Treating Ourselves Like Our Clients?
Weekly Behave Yourself Check-in
Emily - got in 3 strength workouts, despite feeling off track
Jo - Stayed true to my values throughout difficult conversations
How do ethics or morals apply to wanting to change your own health and fitness behaviours? Emily and Jo take a look!
Definitions
Definition: the branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles.
Definition 2: moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity.
Ethics of changing your own behaviour (Modified from medical ethics):
1) Respect for autonomy: respecting the decision-making capacities of autonomous persons; enabling individuals to make reasoned informed choices.
Practicing within your scope of competence / expertise
Public statements about non-behavioural services
2) Beneficence: this considers the balancing of benefits of treatment against the risks and costs.
What's the function of our health behaviours? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
3) Non maleficence: avoiding the causation of harm; All treatment involves some harm, even if minimal, but the harm should not be disproportionate to the benefits of treatment.
Is there morality in what health behaviours we model to others? What about social media?
Do our health behaviours harm others? e.g. protein targets can mean a LOT of meat - environmental harm?
Intensity levels
4) Justice: distributing benefits, risks and costs fairly.
Is there morality in NOT wanting to improve your own health? What about a National Health Service?
Being able to work on your own health and fitness is a privilege when many families experience food insecurity. (Food insecurity, a condition in which households lack access to adequate food because of limited money or other resources, is a leading health and nutrition issue in the United States. In 2013 almost fifty million Americans (14.3 percent) were food insecure. About one-third of these were at a more serious level known as “very low food security.”)
