We have to eat food every day in order to provide our body the nourishment it needs to keep us alive. But have we thought about the emotions we encounter when we provide that nourishment?
Topics include:
[3:56] How do we define health and what is holistic health? Physical health is only one aspect of holistic health, which includes mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental health in addition to our physical bodies.
[6:14] The Weight vs Health Venn diagram (available at www.outofthecave.health/downloads). There are things that can help you reach a weight goal but are not a positive influence on our holistic health and vice versa, but the intersection between these two areas is where the magic happens.
[14:30] Things that contribute to our mental, emotional, spiritual health but not necessarily our physical health may not help us lose weight in an acute way but will absolutely contribute to making weight loss sustainable and healthy because we allow ourselves to have what we want.
[18:47] When we don’t allow certain foods, the brain learns that those things aren’t safe. But even if it doesn’t serve the body (ice cream, cake, doritos, etc), it could be serving a very different but no less vital aspect of our holistic health.
[22:08] Salads and the intersection of the Venn diagram. If you eat a salad because you hate what you look like, you’re taking a very healthy food and creating a very unhealthy experience.
[27:04] Cardio has such an intense association with weight and weight loss. But if we are doing it because we hate our body and want it to change, we will be miserable the entire time and hate ourselves even more during and after it. But by creating an energy of love and appreciation for what our body is capable of doing and the joy of movement, we will be uplifted and energized every time we step off of the treadmill.
[31:40] How we can reclaim our power and healthy behaviors that will serve us by being aware of our mindset.
[39:51] Actions speak louder than words, but energy speaks louder than actions. If we’re looking for true health and sustainability, we need to be mindful of the energy we’re using when we exercise, when we cook, when we order food out, because it impacts our lives in so many unanticipated ways. But how do we know if we’re coming from a place of love or a place of fear?
[45:19] No one else can tell you if your behavior is healthy (coming from a place of love) or not based off of mere observation. Only by being present in the moment and in our bodies can we be aware of our true intentions.
