89. Five Steps to Live Nourished | Hally Brooke

“Our environment and our relationships are as important as our food and our movement,” says Hally Brooke. Dr. Fix and, Hally Brooke, the founder and CEO of the functional medicine and health coaching practice, Live Nourished, explore the holistic tapestry of health and well-being.

Hally is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutrition Counselor and Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. She teaches that there are five key categories for living a nourished life and maintaining good health: nutrition, movement, mind and spirit, relationships, and environment. All of these areas of our life are intertwined. She underscores the value of health coaching, illuminating how it bridges the divide between merely having knowledge and putting that knowledge into practice through the actionable steps that lead to genuine health transformation. And, for listeners navigating an entrepreneurial journey, there's a discussion of the often misunderstood correlations between business success and personal health and well being.

Key Takeaways:

• Holistic wellness is multidimensional, encompassing aspects beyond just diet and physical activity. The five core pillars of health include nutrition, movement, mind and spirit, relationships, and environment.

• Health coaching bridges the gap between knowledge acquisition and sustainable behavior change.

• Entrepreneurs often face the challenge of sacrificing personal health in pursuit of business objectives. Business leaders who prioritize self-care not only cultivate happier teams but also witness consistent business growth. Self-care isn't just about personal well-being; it's integral to professional success.

• The future of functional medicine will likely redefine our approach to healthcare, emphasizing comprehensive care teams and a focus upon prevention of illness and disease rather than treating symptoms.

Quotes:

• “Humans are the best example of Newton's law of inertia. Objects in motion stay in motion, objects at rest stay at rest. And for the most part, most people are physiologically, sociologically, emotionally at rest. We are really comfortable with our current norm.” (11:45 | Hally Brooke)

• “Our environment and our relationships are as important as our food and our movement.” (15:32 | Hally Brooke)

• “So what I say when people ask what functional medicine is, I say two things. One, I say it's root cause medicine. So instead of going playing whack-a-mole with a bunch of symptoms, we say, okay, all of these symptoms are coming from one or two places. If we go fix that one or two places, we're gonna heal all the symptoms.” (19:06 | Hally Brooke)

• “Where I think it's going is that functional medicine will be medicine 10, 15, 20 years down the road. And the people who will be kind of the front runners of actually helping people heal are going to be health coaches and not necessarily health coaches, but a collaborative care team. A doctor who's putting together the plan and running the labs and doing the detective work, and then a health coach who is taking that plan and helping that client walk it out.” (22:29 | Hally Brooke)
