For some people, being healthy is always associated with weight loss. Krisna Hanks never had that problem. Having spent 30 years of her life as a professional dancer, she was a vegetarian, did Pilates and swimming to strengthen herself, and took care of her body as her topmost priority.
But at one point in her life, a bad joint pain made her struggle to stand up or sit down. For 2 years, doctors can't diagnose what was wrong with her. With all tests exhausted, her physical therapist friend recommended changing her diet. From vegetarian to meat-centric, the change didn’t happen overnight. It was a process.
Now as a health coach, she has a deep understanding of the different struggles of each person. Overall wellness is in body, mind, and spirit. In this conversation, she shares her mindset as a professional dancer helped her to be the health coach she is now, how social connections are important for our well-being, and why mindset is a big factor when one decides to change.
