For some people, being healthy is always associated with weight loss. Krisna Hanks never had that problem. Having spent 30 years of her life as a professional dancer, she was a vegetarian, did Pilates and swimming to strengthen herself, and took care of her body as her topmost priority. But at one point in her life, a bad joint pain made her struggle to stand up or sit down. For 2 years, doctors can't diagnose what was wrong with her. With all tests exhausted, her physical therapist friend recommended changing her diet. From vegetarian to meat-centric, the change didn’t happen overnight. It was a process. Now as a health coach, she has a deep understanding of the different struggles of each person. Overall wellness is in body, mind, and spirit. In this conversation, she shares her mindset as a professional dancer helped her to be the health coach she is now, how social connections are important for our well-being, and why mindset is a big factor when one decides to change.Quick Guide:01:01 Introduction07:19 The perspective she carried as a dancer to being a health coach10:35 Favorite choreography15:36 The health issues of a professional dancer25:26 Shift of identity based on their diet29:13 Wellness is body, mind, and spirit31:16 Simple, doable, and actionable steps help with change34:41 Social connections matter as much47:10 Movement heals52:47 I Fix Hearts coaching programGet to know our guestKrisna Hanks was a professional dancer in USA and Europe for more than 30 years.

There's going to be risks. Yeah, I had a couple of injuries, then you have to learn how to take care of yourself to come back from those, having also good team around you is helpful.” - Krisna HanksConnect with herWebsite: https://www.square1wellness.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Square1WellnessInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/square_1_wellness/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisnahanks/Episode snippets14:47 - 15:36 - To learn how to come back from injuries17:13 - 18:36 - Different forms of health issues25:44 - 27:15 - We all struggle with different things31:22 - 32:02 - You have to help people change40:26 - 41:07 - Coaches get to know the whole person50:47 - 51:30 - We all sit too much in a dayConnect with Dr. Ovadia:TwitteriFixHearts WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table WebsiteAmazon Theme Song : Rage AgainstWritten & Performed by Logan Gritton & Colin Gailey(c) 2016 Mercury Retro RecordingsProduced by 38atoms & Jack Heald
