Wellness is a key element of the Catalyst Seven. Wellness is a “state of being in good health, physically and mentally.”
In my experience, physical and mental health are closely aligned.
Over the past few years, I have invested many hours in exploring best practices about physical & mental wellness, and I love sharing what I have learned during my fat loss journey.
Most people believe that wellness begins with exercise, but I have learned this is not true.
Exercise is important, but good health largely depends on the quality of food we eat.
Below is a list of wellness resources that I credit with saving my life by helping me gain control of my food addiction and nurture my body back to health. I have also included additional resources as new information is revealed.
In the process of losing almost 100 pounds of fat and increasing my physical health, my mental health leveled up as well!
The following wellness resources will be updated periodically as new information is learned about this important topic.
