The Psychology of Healthy Living w/ Heather Hausenblas

<p>Heather joins me to talk about psychology being a big part of a healthy lifestyle. What we say to ourselves is important but also how we view ourselves in comparison to others (or our ideal version we have for ourselves) is a big piece of our health.</p><p>Some key thoughts we need to consider when approaching a healthy lifestyle change:</p><ul><li>How well you know yourself</li><li>How honest you are with where you are and where you need to be</li><li>How small changes in your diet/exercise are often better than massive changes</li><li>What works for others might not work for us</li><li>We are human, we will make mistakes and it's ok, get back on track as soon as you can</li><li>The difference between food deserts and food swamps - what does your community look like</li></ul><p>She explains the importance of the work of Wellness Discover Labs validating the claims of some of the products on the market. Third party testing like this is a crucial piece we should all look for in the products we purchase.</p><p><a href="https://www.heatherhausenblas.com/" target="_blank">Heather Hausenblas, PhD</a> is the CEO of <a href="https://wellnessdiscoverylabs.com/" target="_blank">Wellness Discovery Labs</a>, an award winning researcher, a professor, and a best selling author.
