Only 5% of what drives our actions is conscious. The other 95% is running the show without us even realizing it.

Episode Summary:

Have you ever wondered why knowing what to do for your health and fitness doesn’t always translate into action? In this enlightening episode of The Holly Perkins Health Podcast, I sit down with Amber Krzys, a coach and teacher with a profound understanding of the psychology of human behavior. Together, we dive deep into the intricate relationship between our subconscious mind and our daily choices, particularly in the realms of womens health, weight loss, and overall wellness for women.

Show Notes:

Amber shares a powerful insight: “95% of our actions are driven by unconscious patterns formed in childhood. ” This revelation opens up a critical discussion on why so many of us struggle to align our actions with our health knowledge. We explore the concept of urges and how they are intricately linked to our emotional states, emphasizing the need for self-compassion when navigating these challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in women’s fitness and mental health, especially those of us who are women over 35.

As we discuss the upcoming School for Humaning Well, Amber emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our innate wisdom. It’s not just about willpower; it’s about understanding our emotional landscapes and cultivating awareness of our feelings and sensations. This approach is particularly beneficial for midlife women health, as it encourages a healthier relationship with ourselves and our choices, paving the way for effective fat loss and improved body composition.

Join us as we encourage you to embrace your experiences with curiosity and compassion. This episode is not just about learning; it’s about transforming your approach to health and fitness. If you’re seeking insights into nutrition, strength training, and bone health tailored for women, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Tune in and discover how understanding your inner workings can lead to profound changes in your life.
