How do we build healthier food choices when we’re busy, tired and overwhelmed? It isn’t always the first thing we want to do, even though we know it will make us feel better in the long run. What if there was a better way? An easier way? There is, and I am so excited to share this episode I was featured on, on my friend Tiana Fech's podcast - The Part Time Jungle Podcast.

Hey Friends!

How are you? No, really, how are you? It's been a hot minute, and for those of you following my journey on the 'gram, you know that I recently moved and start working at a new clinic (which I am so excited for!).

That said, we are back with another juicy episode... this one is all about boundaries and stress management—a topic that will never get old! As we transition through change personally, professionally, emotionally, it is crucial to cultivate strong boundaries and find ways to manage our emotional response to stress.

Tune in to learn about alternative ways to manage stress and have loving yet firm boundaries..

Hey Friends!

How are you? No, really, how are you? It's been a hot minute, and January felt like a whole year passed by. 

I am so excited to be back podcasting again and sharing some solo riffs on here about all things health, wellness, self-care, boundaries, and much much more!

Today's episode is an oldie but goodie, an IG live that I hosted last year during the holidays but very much relevant to today. Have you ever had that “nudge” to go grab a snack that only makes you feel good (inside and out) in the moment? That was me last night. Hear how to cope with this and alternative strategies to dealing with stress 

💫We are chatting about all things stress eating, and navigating the urge to stress-eat. It's no secret that we live in a stressful culture that prides itself on #hustlemode. And the last two years of the pandemic have further amplified mental, emotional, and physical stress. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with indulging in a feel-good snack or food, but it does become a concern if you continue to reach for food as a coping mechanism at the first sign of stress or a way to combat stress. Trust me, I know from personal experience.

Tune in to learn about alternative ways to manage stress and curb emotional eating and stress-eating. Some of my fave ways to navigate stressful times and challenges are:

- Exercise. Move that body. I cannot state this enough. Happy endorphins are all the rage and give you the same high that eating a sugary snack would!

- Connect with a trusted friend or loved one. Speak to a therapist. Release those emotions in a healthy manner.

- Journal. There is a powerful release that takes place somatically whenever you share your thoughts on paper.

- Meditate. Even 5 minutes a day will work wonders for your mental health, nervous system, and emotional health. Increase this gradually every day. If you feel like you have no time to meditate, I promise you, you need to do so more!

Can you believe it? Tomorrow, September 30th is the 1 year Birthday of the HHNFL Podcast!

This year has been filled with emotional and physical challenges. As someone who is a planner, dealing with the unexpected is not always easy. Knowing that I had this show to come back to every week to share and teach, as well as learn from my guests, has been so uplifting.

To say that I have grown as a person would be an understatement. Thank you for all of your support - I SEE YOU. Every download, every subscription, rating, review, and DM - seeing and reading all of these fills me with joy. AND this podcast is listened to in close to a dozen countries across the world!

Now, many of you ask me - "How do you do it, Abha? You’re a full-time physician, mom, wife, and entrepreneur."

The answer is - I have (and continue to have) a tremendous amount of support. My husband is a huge supporter of the HHNFL Company and podcast! And I have an amazing team that I work with - Steph from Straight Arrow Consulting is my Podcast Manager, and Tania with Warrior Life Creative Agency is my Mentor and Team expert on Creative Content, Copywriting (and many more things). I love that I can work with these women AND have friendships with them!

Today's episode shares key lessons I've learned over the last year:

So now that I’ve shared with you my lessons over the past 12 months - I’d love to hear from you. What has 2021 taught you? How have you grown and what magical shifts have you made in your life? Share with me and tag us @_healthhasnofinishline -- I want to celebrate you!

Until the next season,

Sending you so much love and gratitude!

Hey friends! Hope you are doing well! This week on the podcast, we are back with a diamond from our vault— an oldie but goodie episode that first aired on December 16th, 2020 featuring Dr. Zarya Rubin, MD. We chatted about all things hormone health, adrenal fatigue, functional medicine, and getting to the root cause of stress and fatigue!⁠⁠ And of course, this episode is still relevant even today. In fact, it's one of our top-rated and most-listened-to episodes.

Some key takeaways from this episode:

📦 Stop putting your hormones in a box. Health looks and feels different for everyone. Get a complete hormone panel test done to get the full picture and get to the root cause of hormonal imbalance.

📲 And with the terms “Adrenal Fatigue” all over social media, we are often quick to attribute our exhaustion to this, without looking at what the root cause(s) are. Causes can be stressors (mental, emotional, physical, environmental), lifestyle, nutrition, products we use, and also genetic. No one person has all of these as root causes. It can be a combination of one or many of the above factors. The goal should be to reduce our toxic overload, manage stress responses, and of course, fuel ourselves with nutrition, movement, and environments that fuel us and heal us, inside out.

Hey friends! Have you ever owned a FitBit or Apple Watch and become obsessed with the step counter or even the metrics for sleep, exercise, nutrition? Or if you are a MyFitnessPal junkie, chances are you are likely trying to keep up with the logging in of meals, counting the nutritional value for each meal. It can be freeing, but it can also feel stressful. And you might find that it hinders you from reaching your goals. For some, like myself, it might feel restrictive and make working out or living a healthy lifestyle less fun, and more like a chore that needs to be completed. We certainly don't want that.

Here's the thing, having apps and technology is incredibly helpful, but sometimes, it's better to go back to the basics. Pen and paper. It's true. That is what I started doing after feeling resistance toward using the apps and smartwatches I have.

Key takeaways from today’s episode:

1. Just because something feels challenging at the moment doesn't mean that it's always going to feel like that. Get specific on what feels challenging about a particular situation, exercise routine, nutrition goal, life goal.

2. If exercising first thing in the morning feels hard, ask yourself how you can create a health ritual that feels fun, inviting, and exciting. What matters is how you feel before, during, and after.

3. If time is a challenge, perhaps you can fit in some movement such as a dance session, short walk, or some plyometric exercises or sun salutations when you have ten minutes to yourself? Movement doesn't only take place on a Peleton. It can take place at any point in the day. For eg: A seven-minute workout, and yes there is an app by that name.

4. Everything is possible, doable, and achievable if you do it in a way that works for you. Challenge yourself to pivot and shift how you do something especially when it feels stressful or overwhelming. Instead of completely ditching it and the progress you've made, perhaps a simple tweak will jolt you back into gear and get you back on track.

It's normal to feel like you "have to" do something because you need to log it in, count those steps, win those challenge badges etc. But when that gets overwhelming, pause, assess, and tweak how you do things. Go back to what was working for you. Focus on the impact, focus on how your mind and body feel when you live a life that's helping you get your inner glow on! And adjust your routines or rituals to reflect that!

Hey friends! I'm so excited for you to tune into today's episode! This one is an oldie but goodie! We chat about limiting beliefs and how they hold us back from achieving our highest potential. I share my personal journey of leaving a toxic relationship and working through beliefs that were limiting my health and wellness goals.

Limiting beliefs are within us and around us, and often, they stem from experiences and relationships around us — our interactions, what we make an experience mean about ourselves, the stories we hold onto. The thoughts and words that are said to us or about us. We often internalize these and make them a part of our belief system. And much like a song on repeat, these stories keep replaying on an endless loop in our minds until we put a stop to it.

Key takeaways from today’s episode:

You are human. You will stumble and deal with challenges - it's a part of life, but it doesn't have to be the main attraction in your life. I invite you to view your challenges as wins because every piece of information is feedback or data. And you can take that data and assess where you need to pivot, make your next move, all while honoring your emotions and intuition.

And if it hasn't been said to you yet or lately, I see you, you're doing the best you can with what you have, what you know, and you've come a long way!
