In this episode, Ulrike is joined by special guest Maja Miller, a Metabolic Health Coach. Together, they delve into the fascinating topic of leveraging the connection between the body and the mind to reduce stress and achieve goals more efficiently and joyfully.
Our biography shapes our biology, and when we constantly stress ourselves in various aspects of life, it affects our body's biology, subsequently influencing our mental well-being. This interplay between the body and mind is the key connection we'll be exploring in this episode.
Maja takes a comprehensive approach to understanding the physical and mental state of individuals. By analyzing different components, she can gain valuable insights into a person's well-being. Are we experiencing stress, anxiety, or perhaps even depression? Once we identify the areas where we lack, we can make informed decisions and take action accordingly.
Instead of focusing on better time management, Maja's approach to managing chronic stress is about differentiating its root causes. She highlights three main sources of stress: emotional, physical, and biochemical stress. Emotional stress arises when we feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. Physical stress stems from past experiences, such as a traumatic birth or an accident. Biochemical stress can be triggered by factors like excessive alcohol consumption, inadequate sleep, or the use of over-the-counter drugs.
Once we understand the underlying causes of stress, we can implement targeted changes. This may involve adjusting our diet, modifying our workout routines, or reevaluating how we allocate our time. However, none of these changes will be effective unless we cultivate the right mindset. Achieving sustainable change requires a high level of commitment to the process, embracing the mind-body connection as the foundation.
Additionally, when seeking to transform our nutrition or exercise habits, it's crucial to take manageable steps and find pleasure in the process. The human mind is wired to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Therefore, any attempts to change habits that go against these inherent drivers will likely be short-lived. Understanding and harnessing these drivers is vital to long-term success, whether it's adhering to a new diet or staying consistent with a fitness routine.
Join Ulrike and Maja as they unravel the intricate relationship between the body and mind, providing practical insights and strategies to reduce stress, increase efficiency, and find joy in the pursuit of our goals. Learn how to align your biology with your desires and cultivate a mindset primed for lasting change.
Tune in to this episode and unlock the power of the mind-body connection in your own life.
