31: Maja Miller: An Inside Out Approach to Health, Wellness & Stress Management

"Healthy living isn't only about the tactical and practical things. It's also about allowing your mindset and identity to shift into the person you want to be.”

Most of us strive to stay healthy and be the most optimal version of ourselves. Making small changes in our daily routine can significantly impact our health in the long run. Eating a well-balanced diet, getting enough sleep each night, going out under the sunrise, getting out in the sun and being mindful of stress-reducing activities are all key components of a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, determining the root cause of illnesses is incredibly crucial instead of just taking topical approaches when health problems arise. We need to see what is happening in our bodies rather than applying treatments to the symptoms only.  

In this episode, Maja Miller joined me to help us understand our bodies and health from the inside out. Maya is a Clinical Metabolic Health Coach helping busy humans get and stay healthy holistically. Listen to the full episode to look at your health optimally to be the best version of yourself. Don’t forget to share with your friends and loved ones. 

Exceptional Highlights

• Your metabolism is as unique as your fingerprint. We never know the best therapy for anyone unless we look at it from the inside. That's why you have to do the right thing in the right order. 

• We must look at the optimal and functional range versus the clinical range. Clinical ranges are based on the common statistical average, while the functional range is your optimal comparison within the population of your lifestyle, age, and gender. 

• Your soul is the watcher like a lighthouse—looking and planning and seeing everything. It whispers to us if it's a "YES" or a "NO." But we are so focused on the mind or body that we rarely hear our soul.
