In this episode of Why Am I Just Finding This Out, host Dr. Kristin Stovern, APRN-C, MSN, CNM, FACNM, is joined by Sal Jefferies a Human Performance Coach and Thought Leader who is passionate about helping others reach their fullness of health.
Sal has developed a pioneering approach using Mindset, Mood, and Movement for personal development, health, and performance. Sal specializes in working with founders, freelancers, and people who want to overcome practical and existential challenges including stress, exhaustion, and a lack of fulfillment. Typically, these individuals, aged around 40 to mid-life, desire to regain a sense of calm, energy, and fulfillment. They aspire to reclaim their physical fitness, feel successful, and be genuinely fulfilled but find themselves at a loss on how to achieve these goals.
Kristin has found that the healthcare system often fails women without offering a holistic approach to health. She encourages a shift toward understanding and incorporating the holistic approach to women’s healthcare. Sal shares how our psychological health and our mental health are directly related to our physical state. He elaborates that humans are entire ecosystems working together to function as one whole body, and notes the complications in separating the functions of our body into parts: “Heal is a piece of the word health.”
Optimal health begins with recognizing where we are so we can begin the healing process. Sal explains a different way to look at our health is to examine how we respond when under stress. Flow, fight, flight, or freeze? Only when we understand what is going on with our bodies can we make the change and progress we need.
How can we work toward full wellness? How do we leave a legacy of better?
Learn it all in this insightful episode. Just know, after listening you’ll be asking yourself, “Why Am I Just Finding This Out?”
