#332: When To Let Go Of The Plan (The Intro Of Bioenergetics)

Made For Living Well

When I lost my health, doing everything right, and by everything, I mean eating all of the ‘right’ foods and working out at least once a day, I realized everything right wasn’t right for me. No matter what anyone said, the best health plan didn’t pan out for me.

At the time, I had no idea how much of a blessing this was. It felt like a battle I had lost.

My body failed, and everything I knew about health was wrong. I was left with nothing.

But a few years into my healing journey, I started to realize it wasn’t necessarily what I was doing that was wrong. I had just failed to recognize how it was influencing my internal state.

I lived fixated on the external metrics of health. What I could count, measure, or time. It was always about what I did and never about how my body reacted to what I did.

It was always about doing more and attempting to arrive at some far-off destination.

But this was wrong. I was wrong. Arguably, the entire health space has it wrong.

It’s not about what you do. Health is about how your body reacts to what you do.

This understanding eliminates the idea that there is a to-do list or a perfect health plan that will fix you. Things aren’t good or bad, healthy or unhealthy; they can be either, depending on how your body reacts. How your body reacts is understood through the foundations of bioenergetics.

In this podcast, I introduce the study of bioenergetics and how it connects your entire lifestyle, proving that health is more than what you eat and how you move. Health is everything about your life, from the air you breathe to the relationships you interact with. Proving why even the best health plan might not work for you.

Everything may be separate, but it’s all connected, and we need to focus on that connectedness.
