When Healthy Habits Take a Turn: Overcoming Toxic Fitness Behavior with Chardét Ryel
In this discussion, I sit down with Wellness Entrepreneur, Behavior Change Specialist, and Podcast Host Chardét Ryel, as we unravel the complexities surrounding toxic "healthy" behaviors.
In today's times, it's more important than ever to care for our bodies and our health, yet it's also easier than we assume to ironically fall into unhealthy patterns of obsession. Chardét gives us a lot to ponder here, as we chat about the following:
- The WHY's on how fitness can evolve into an unhealthy practice
- How body image struggles often stem from our childhood and developmental years
- Social media's role in this, and how we are often not shown the whole story with health/fitness influencers
- How we easily justify and mentally minimize these behaviors due to the inherent nature of fitness and other wellness habits
- How toxic health/fitness behaviors can influence others around us including our children
- Questions to reflect on if you sense the need to look deeper into this topic
- Actionable tools to implement NOW, in efforts to step into a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle
...and more. This episode is a must listen for both women and men who are committed to a healthy lifestyle and truly desire a mentally sustainable approach to achieving their goals and optimizing their well-being in general.
