Episode 237: The Value of Approaching Health As a Generalist
22/05/2021 Duración: 01h55sThere are a lot of things that contribute to the “health” of a human. And, yet, we are often sold measures for improving our health that isolate parts of our humanness. If you want to lose weight, focus on physical health. If you have depression or anxiety, focus on mental health. If you are struggling in your relationships, focus on that. But can you achieve a deep state of health by separating the dimensions of health in this way? I would argue no. Treating 1 dimension of health in isolation is like strengthening 1 body part to try and improve the conditioning of the entire body. When aspiring to improve your health, I am a huge proponent of approaching the work as a generalist rather than as a specialist. Curious to hear more. Check out this episode.

Episode 231: Community Matters
10/04/2021 Duración: 47minSeveral years ago I created a FREE five day program called #five2thrive that women are still downloading and reaping value from today. That video series introduces the 5 key elements that I think are paramount to improving health: sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and mindset. But there is one other element, I wish I had added to that list. Community. Ladies, we are communal creatures. We aren’t meant to do hard things alone. So, this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast is to remind you about the incredible power of community and connection along the path to change.
