We can talk at length about all the different kinds of diets that are out there but the only important diet is the one that works for you. Spending the time exploring and learning how your brain and body respond to certain foods can be the single greatest contributor to your sense of wellness and health efficacy. Guiding you confidently along your personal path of wellness.

Having maintained a stable weight for so much of my adult life, I only had the tremendous guilt and fatigue of my lifelong overheating issues. A startling photo of myself, however, and the evident internal damage that was developing finally drove me to the doctor. The resulting diagnosis forced me to start learning how different food choices affect me in many different ways. It was a difficult but very worthwhile part of the journey along my personal path of wellness.

Keeping your mind on a few of your guiding principles of wellness can make wellness choices a much clearer. Think about your wellness “north star” and align your daily choices to a few higher level principles and you’ll always have guideposts along your personal path of wellness.

It’s time to dig a little deeper into controlling chronic low back pain.

And, although it’s part of the movement domain, for sure, getting my head into the right place is a huge part of that journey.

The podcast takes an unexpected turn as I more deeply consider it’s purpose and intention. Instead of trying to create a long-term lesson or educational series about the countless factors contributing to a sense of wellness, I’m simply going to share my winding and somewhat adventurous travels along my own personal path of wellness.

How you think about and respond to the world around you has possibly the greatest impact on your sense of wellness. We’ll begin the first deep dive into the broad wellness domains by discussing the way we use our minds and the impact that “awareness and response” has on your overall well-being and health efficacy.

Our environments present an abundance of choices. But so many choices don’t necessarily lead to action. Focusing on fewer, prioritized options for your wellness is an important strategy. And you have to allow yourself to be “ok” with letting some health goals sit on the back burner. This episode is further introduction to the concepts we’ll be exploring throughout the this podcast series.

An introduction to exploring and designing your own personal path of wellness. Taking the next steps towards believing and expecting that you can impact and improve your state of health and wellness.
