Confidence Through Health

The Psychology of Healthy Living w/ Heather Hausenblas

Let's face it, there is a lot of information out there about how to achieve a healthy lifestyle. It's challenging to figure out what is true, what products work, and what's just a genius marketing technique. As a Health Psychologist, Heather Hausenblas has a passion for helping people filter through all the noise and find what works for them.

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.

Some key thoughts we need to consider when approaching a healthy lifestyle change:

  • How well you know yourself
  • How honest you are with where you are and where you need to be
  • How small changes in your diet/exercise are often better than massive changes
  • What works for others might not work for us
  • We are human, we will make mistakes and it's ok, get back on track as soon as you can
  • The difference between food deserts and food swamps - what does your community look like

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.
