Titrating healthy lifestyle: Stressing Exercise
Exercise is a classic lever to reduce stress. That’s what they tell us anyway. But rarely is there any guidance given about how or why it works let alone how to make it work for you. That’s what our Work IN is today. I will be giving you a more practical understanding of the mind body connection to exercise for stress reduction and how to harness different intensities to build long lasting buffers to stress triggers.
Titrating healthy lifestyle: Using guardrails to get out of your own way
It’s so tempting to try to change everything all at once. Tempting and unnecessary.And for some people it ends up being an exercise in frustration and failure. When it comes to getting healthy for the long haul what we really want is lifestyle renovation. Just like in any good renovation project the starting place is often with the cleanup. That’s our Work IN today. How do we support the changes we want and clear our path to health and fitness results?
Titrating healthy lifestyle: Bite size approach to chronic health
There’s no doubt undoing generations of misinformation about what is healthy and stopping the progression of our self induced chronic disease pandemic is going to take time. And while changes at the macro level of health policy are important, what matters more is that we take back personal freedom and control to influence our own physical, mental and emotional health. That’s our Work IN today. We’re kicking off a series on Titrating change in our body and mind on the path to chronic health. Today we’re talking about the most important change you need to make before any other change can happen.
8 essentials to make any health change last a lifetime
Nothing changes until something changes. Welcome back to The Work IN podcast. At the time of this recording it is a brand new year. 2025. And just like every year there are a lot of “New year new you” challenges kicking off. Are you bored with them yet? Frankly what I want to know is why do we offer the same thing every year? Why not focus on making permanent changes that last beyond the next 3 months? So that’s our work IN today as we celebrate our 200th episode and 5th season. I’m going to teach you the 8 essential things you need to do to make any health and wellness change last a lifetime.
Connecting all the hard things
One of the most powerful tools we have to build resilience and overcome chronic stress and trauma is connection. It’s the first thing that is sacrificed in the face of stress injury and yet it is the number one thing we need if we’re going to heal.
In health and wellness, connection has become an overused meaningless word. Just like the words wellness and health. Our work IN today is a deep dive into some of the less obvious meanings of connection and how we can use it beyond the obvious to get and stay healthier physically, mentally and emotionally.
