Avoid Health and Wellness Burnout
Avoid Health and Wellness Burnout
Something I see a lot in my patients is confusion from the multitudes of information we are bombarded with on the internet. Health and wellness influencers are everywhere, always with some new tid-bit that is the most important thing if you want to be healthy. I always know what the latest social media trend is because I start getting questions about it. Inevitably, this creates confusion, chaos, and anxiety that you might be doing something wrong or missing out on the one thing that will change everything.
DON’T LISTEN! IT’S JUST CLICKBAIT!
Always!
It’s so important to keep in mind that these people are making trying to make a living from views, followers, likes, podcast, etc. This means a constant stream of new topics they need to talk about in order to keep interest up. But the simple truth is that the most important things for health and wellbeing are not sexy. Good, clean eating, sleep, stress management, blood sugar regulation, and appropriate exercise for your age and stage of life are the foundations of health, longevity, and vitality. Period.
Yes, there is a time and place for some well selected supplements and other interventions, but the far majority of the time, it just comes back to the basics. That’s why we talk about them so often at Elemental Wellness. That is also why it is so helpful to have someone trained in both Functional Medicine and Traditional Medicine. This makes it possible to balance new and emerging ideas with good, solid science.
Another incredible benefit of working with Elemental Wellness is access to the 3x4 Genetic test which gives incredible insights into what will work for you, based on your genetic markers. No more trial and error. No more guesswork. No more frustration that something your friend swears by didn’t work for you. No more stress over needing to buy the latetst supplement, protein powder, or gizmo. Only the most helpful recommendations that will actually make a difference in the way you feel in the day to day as well as preventing future troubles.
So, next time you are scrolling and get that little tingle that makes you think, ‘Wow! I definitely need to try that!’, stop and think. Is this just the latest trend being marketed to me? Is this something that is worth my time, energy, and money? Probably not, but always feel free to ask us! That’s what we are here for.
