It’s tempting to view health as a purely physical pursuit, especially in the age of social media and constant visual stimuli.
We often associate being healthy with having a fit physique, but health doesn’t mean having abs or being the strongest person in the gym.
True health encompasses much more than just our physical appearance or exercise habits, and it's essential to keep an open mind and adapt our perspectives as we grow and learn.
In this episode, Jordan Syatt, former competitive powerlifter, renowned fitness coach, and fitness industry veteran and entrepreneur, shares his journey of redefining what it means to be truly healthy.
In this conversation, we explore . . .
- The evolving definition of health and how Jordan's perspective has changed over the years
- The significance of incorporating mobility work and flexibility training for long-term health and well-being
- The role of community and engaging in difficult conversations for personal growth and mental well-being
- Strategies for having productive difficult conversations with yourself and others
- Practical tips for managing stress in an increasingly complex and demanding world
- And more . . .
So, if you're ready to challenge your perceptions of health and discover new ways to optimize your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, click play!
