Deep dives
Importance of Health Behavior Change
Changing behaviors is crucial for implementing nutrition and exercise science. Casey, with a PhD in psychology specializing in health behavior change, emphasizes the importance of mindset in altering behavior. She delves into the psychological aspect of why people struggle to implement known healthy practices, linking it to growth versus fixed mindsets.
Growth vs. Fixed Mindset
Casey explains the difference between growth and fixed mindsets and their impact on behavior. A growth mindset involves believing in the ability to change and improve, while a fixed mindset is resistant to change. She highlights that individuals can have different mindsets in various areas of life, discussing the significance of feedback, setbacks, and success in identifying these mindsets.
Improving Mindset
To shift from a fixed to a growth mindset, increasing self-awareness of fixed mindset triggers is crucial. Casey suggests actively changing fixed mindset responses in the moment to rewire thought patterns. External feedback and seeking resources or mentors to support mindset development are also recommended for coaches and individuals.
Health Mindset Coaching Certification
Casey offers the Health Mindset Coaching Certification focused on behavior change for health and fitness coaches. The program covers foundational behavior change concepts, self-control, self-sabotage, motivation, and goal setting. The certification fosters a supportive community for coaches to address client challenges collaboratively, emphasizing the value of psychological insights in achieving lasting results.
