Are you truly living, or striving to live, a healthy life?
If so, for what purpose?
I believe that being healthy is meant to help one more fully live their values, pursue their passions, and promote better social connections.
This means to really be well we must stop narrowly and solely paying attention to the physical body and aim for a more balanced viewpoint in all areas of well-being.
Diet, exercise, proper supplementation, and medication are necessary and important, but there is so much more to concentrate on.
A whole person approach that integrates the mind, body, spirit, and promotes social connections is more likely to allow one to achieve their own personalized health goals and live a happier, more vibrant life with loved ones.
Previously, I provided techniques and resources that discussed enhancing wellness through various methods.
In this video and accompanying article, I concentrate a bit more on preventative lifestyle medicine.
This starts with learning about the environment that surrounds us and taking action to optimize our interaction with it.
Specifically, I focus on living a non-toxic lifestyle and how to avoid unnecessary and ubiquitous chemicals in our foods, personal care products, household cleaners, and water.
Topics include:
1. How one can live a non-toxic life using a Health at Every Size Perspective (HAES) and not succumb to body obsession and diet culture
2. Nourishing Your Body with Clean, Nutrient Dense Foods
3. Cleaning Yourself and Your Home with Safe Substances
4. Obtaining High Quality Water for Cellular and Whole-Body Rejuvenation
5. Taking This All One Step at a Time

Besides promoting health, we also do well to avoid what can rob us of well-being.
I hope you can use this information to support your emotional and physical well-being, make your home and the environment safer, and to nourish your important relationships.
I know it is easy to get overwhelmed, so it is important to go one step at a time and aim for imperfection! Doing something is better than nothing!
What's one step you'll take today, or continue taking?
