What We Discuss In This Episode:

Our discussion starts by emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health, especially as we age. Many people struggle to make time for self-care due to busy lifestyles, but it is crucial to consciously make health a priority. The speakers highlight the cultural differences in how midlife transitions like menopause are viewed, and how the US tends to see them more negatively.

The key pillars of health discussed include stress management, movement/exercise, balanced nutrition, hydration, and community/social connection. Katy and Dr. Michelle explain how these factors work together to impact hormones, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Consistency in applying these lifestyle changes is highlighted as critical for long-term success.

Katy and Dr. Michelle also acknowledge the challenges of going against cultural norms around diet, exercise, and health priorities in the US. They emphasize the importance of finding a supportive community to help maintain healthy habits, as it can be isolating to make these changes alone.

Katy and Dr. Michelle provide an overview of their book "To Finding Healthy," which covers 40 different health habits with the goal of inspiring readers to make sustainable lifestyle changes. The book and an accompanying virtual program aim to provide both the science behind the recommendations as well as practical action steps.

 

Resource from Dr. Michelle Harden and Katy Clayton:

Dr. Michelle Harden and Katy Clayton wrote a book together called To Finding Healthy where they provide practical tips for improving health, preventing disease, and losing weight.
