The Health Spectrum
Jul 21, 2020Health is more than just the absence of sickness
But unfortunately that’s the main focus of our medical system.
*fix* the sick people.
The numberrrrrr of clients I’ve had tell me how their doctors just want to prescribe pills for their concerns 💊 (digestion, stress, weight loss, inflammation, acne, etc.)
With ZERO discussion around their lifestyle factors is extremely shocking.
However — not surprising.
This lack of focus on lifestyle, but hyper focus on band-aid type treatments leaves people understanding HEALTH to just be “lack of sickness/disease/unfavorable conditions”
Which is super lame, IMO.
Because then we end up with a population full of people never living up to their full health potential.
Positive psychology is a branch of psych that I focus on a lot in the health mindset coaching certification.
because instead of fixing what’s broken and leaving it at that - positive psych seeks to optimize your health and lifestyle beyond just “not being unhealthy”.
If you’re a health/fitness coach, you can really shine here.
^ Hence why people leave the doctors office then apply to work with KJO coaching 🤦♀️
I’m not a doctor. (Well, not that kind)
So of course I can’t treat medical conditions as a doctor can.
And I’m not saying all doctors suck (my mom is a good one, but she’s not well versed in nutrition & exercise or even other healthy lifestyle factors — but she can take your tonsils out with her eyes closed lol)
But I can confidently say that the folks on our team are working towards their most OPTIMAL health - from a mental and physical standpoint.
Shouldn’t the goal be to feel the best you can?
Not just “healthy” (as in — without sickness, disease, health concerns, etc)?
There’s so much MORE to life and so much BETTER you can feel on the other side of that general definition of health.
Now — this isn’t to say if you come to us with digestive distress, low energy levels, or high stress that we can’t help bring you to a healthier state.
We will do that. But we won’t stop there.
You deserve OPTIMAL.
You deserve to feel your ABSOLUTE best. ❤️
