Achieving and maintaining wellness and good health isn’t a destination – it’s a dynamic, lifelong process.
It involves juggling three interconnected “plates”: chemical (metabolic), emotional (mindset), and physical (fitness/lifestyle).

Drop one, and the whole system can begin to wobble.

No Clear Start or Finish – Only Life

There’s no definitive starting line when it comes to health – other than birth – and no clear finish until death. In between, we live in a balancing act.

While genetics influence our predisposition toward certain conditions, they don’t dictate our health outcomes entirely. Once we’re out in the world on our own, how we live takes the lead.

Plate One: Chemical Balance – The Inner Engine

Our body’s chemistry is deeply affected by what we eat, when we eat, and even how we eat. But it’s not just about the food – it’s also about how our brain processes what we’re feeling.

Stress and emotional states affect chemical processes like hunger, digestion, and hormonal balance. If we’re constantly in “fight or flight” mode due to modern stressors, our internal systems get thrown off.

We might not notice the effects immediately, but this chemical imbalance can quietly build up over time. Eventually, it manifests as chronic issues like fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, or disease.

Drop this plate, and your body may operate in turmoil without you even realising it – until it’s too late.

Plate Two: Emotional Health – The Invisible Load

Do you perceive life as a constant struggle or a manageable ride? That perception plays a massive role in your emotional health.

Chronic stress and unresolved emotions drain our motivation and alter our behaviours. We may crave sugary or fatty foods, not because we’re hungry, but because we’re trying to soothe emotional discomfort.

The longer we hold onto stress, the more likely we are to give up on ourselves. We stop trying. This drop in emotional resilience often spills into our eating habits and physical activity.

Drop this plate, and suddenly, everything feels pointless. You retreat instead of moving forward.

Plate Three: Physical Fitness – The Body in Motion

Physical movement isn’t just for weight management. It fuels mental clarity, emotional resilience, and chemical balance.

Exercise releases endorphins – those feel-good brain chemicals that lift our mood and help us process emotions more effectively. Being active also helps regulate hunger and improve sleep, which supports metabolic function.

But when you’re feeling low, the last thing you want to do is work out. And so, inactivity creeps in.

Drop this plate, and you risk falling into apathy – doing less, feeling worse, and perpetuating a cycle of stagnation.

The Interconnected Web of Health

Here’s the challenge: These three areas aren’t isolated. They’re deeply interconnected.

Let’s say you put on weight. It may not be because of overeating alone – it might stem from stress, depression, or exhaustion. You feel too low to exercise, so you don’t. That leads to more weight gain, which damages your self-esteem. In an attempt to fix it, you diet.

But if the diet is too restrictive, your brain may react as if you’re in famine mode. It pushes you to eat more. You feel like a failure, which deepens your stress and mood issues. Then, you stop moving again.

It’s a vicious circle that so many fall into – and often feel stuck in.

Willpower Isn’t the Solution

Willpower can help you take the first step. But it’s not enough to carry you through sustainable change.

Lasting transformation comes from understanding and reprogramming the subconscious mind – the part of you that controls your deeper motivations and default habits.

That’s where therapies like hypnotherapy and talking therapies can make a profound impact. I work with clients who are struggling with their health but seem to be doing or have tried everything to get themselves on track.

The Missing Piece: Mindset

Many people think they have the right mindset. They’re doing the diets, the workouts, the journaling – but still not getting results.

Why? Because they haven’t addressed the real reason behind their behaviours.

Your mind may be subconsciously resisting change. You might be blind to the emotional or psychological barriers keeping you in the cycle.

Without recognising the emotional drivers beneath your habits, change won’t stick – no matter how hard you try.
