"Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” – The World Health Organization. After indulging during the festive period, January can often be a month of restriction and grueling fitness plans... but can we tip the scale too far in the wrong direction and end up less healthy and more miserable? And are we paying enough attention to all the dimensions of wellness in order to really feel our best?

Fitness model, personal trainer, creator of the crockfit app and health and fitness influencer Alex Crockford has a refreshing perspective on how we can improve our overall wellness and take care of our mind, body and soul in a sustainable, enjoyable and simple way.

Talking to host Gabby live in a studio in London, Alex breaks down the most important takeaways from the wellness model, coined in 1997 by Dr Margaret Swarbrick, whilst emphasizing the importance of Nutrition, Exercise, Relaxation, Sleep and how they all work together to keep our mind and body healthy. 

Alex also talks about the importance of community and connection with others as being vital to our wellbeing, why everyone has their bad days and we shouldn’t beat ourselves up about it, and how we can motivate ourselves to get back on track if we fall off the wellness wagon.
