Lifestyle medicine interventions can be a great tool. But their success lies in balance.Β 

If you’re looking to make lasting changes and build a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, consider looking at the full picture, not just one part.Β 

Balance is key for long-term success.

Change is, a process. Accepting that action is a fraction of the overall effort can make change feel more comfortable.Β Moving from 'not ready' to 'ready' takes motivation, confidence, focus, preparation, and planning, which all occur in your head while you're 'just thinking about it'.Β Β πŸ™Œ

A cycling vacation may not be the best time to have caffeine withdrawals. So, if you drink brewed coffee rather than espresso, it's important to know where to find it during your trip. These are some of my tips, from years of travel experience β˜•Β

The introduction of 'sleep hygiene' built awareness BUT also increased anxiety around sleep routines. It's a good reminder. Nothing interrupts sleep quite like fretting over 'perfection'.

Love this message! We've been so fixated with caloric expenditure for so long that we forget that there are other reasons to move. Walking has so many other benefits that need to be celebrated.
