Is Sacrificing Really Necessary?

Most people believe that you have to sacrifice in order to be healthy. I suppose that’s because we live in a culture that loves to take people’s money for quick fixes and new fads. The diet industry and “health” food industries are big money makers, and their livelihood depends on people believing these mistruths.

The truth is that being healthy is not about sacrifice at all, unless you consider eating really tasty food, feeling rested, and having a lot more energy a sacrifice.

Perhaps the idea of sacrifice stems from the “quick fix” propaganda we are faced with every day. The pharmaceutical industry wants you to believe that you can just take a pill and all of your problems will go away. I think deep down we know that this isn’t true, but it sounds enticing. Who wouldn’t want to just take a pill and have all their problems go away?

But the truth is, taking pills is often an attempt at symptom management and not symptom reversal. Your problems rarely go away just because you took a pill. This is true for prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as supplements.

If you’re looking for a quick fix, I won’t be of much help to you.

I’m much more interested in teaching my clients how to get to the root cause of their symptoms. What is actually causing them to feel poorly? Often, it just takes time and lifestyle changes. Simple things like drinking enough water and going to the bathroom more consistently. Sleeping and focusing on the quality of your sleep over quantity. And focusing on adding in a wide variety of nutritious whole foods.

Supplements play a role in correcting root cause issues, but they are just helpers. Not healers. Your body was created to heal itself, when given the proper set of circumstance.  The proper tools. I teach my clients what these tools are and how to implement them into their busy lives.

Busy.

Maybe that’s another reason why we equate sacrifice with being healthy. It would be so much easier if we could just keep living the way we are already living. But, if you keep doing what you’ve been doing, won’t you keep getting what you’ve been getting?

Maybe our “busy” is largely responsible for the condition our health is currently in?

In my opinion, being healthy isn’t about sacrifice. It’s about priorities and a willingness to do things differently. To acknowledge that perhaps the way you’ve been living isn’t serving you well. To make a decision to do better today than you did yesterday.

It does take effort. It’s simple but not easy. If you’re motivated and willing to try something new, I can help you.
