#394 - The counterintuitive truth about health obsession with Peta Kelly
I came across Peta years ago when we were both in Isagenix.
We then crossed paths again when she started using Saturée skincare and I sent her some of our new Methlyne Blue serum to try.
She even did a block of coaching with Nyssa in our 16 week WinAtLife Accelerator program because she wanted a challenge.
I just love her and her perspective on things so I invited her to come onto the podcast for a chin wag!
I've been sitting with something she said in this week's podcast and I can't get it out of my head.
She talked about having all the gear. The sauna. The biomat. The oxygen machine that was still sitting in the box she never opened. The whole house water filter. Years of studying health science and metabolism.
And she was more anxious, more controlled, and less free than she'd ever been.
It wasn't until she spent time in Italy watching the nonnas just eat, no protocols, no biohacking, no stress about it, that she realised something had quietly gone wrong.
The more you learn, the more you believe you need a perfect regime to be okay and before you know it, the obsession with optimising your health is actually the thing making you sick. Not in your body. In your head.
In how small your life has become.
"you go from seeking health to become more free, to using health to be more controlled."
I see this with some of the women who come to work with us. Doing everything right on paper. Eating well, supplementing, sleeping okay and still not feeling great When we dig in, what we find isn't a missing supplement. It's that they're running at 150% with no joy. No rest. No alignment. Relationships that drain them. A life they're not enjoying.
Joy is pro-metabolic. Alignment is pro-metabolic. Your relationships, your creativity, whether you feel safe in your life, all of it affects your metabolism.
Peta said something I want every woman listening to actually hear:
What you believe about your body matters more than what you eat.
We yapped for so long I split it into two episodes. This is part 1.
