Health is not something you can perform your way into.
Episode 2 of Become whole is live.
How are you, really – deep down inside, behind the achievements, the surplus energy, and the polished exterior?
Become whole er Lucia Cares new podcast, where doctor and Lucia Care founder Nanna Kirkebjerg and Lucia Care partner Søren Bregendal delve into the question that many of us long to ask:
What does it mean to be truly healthy – as a human, in body, mind, and life?
In this section, we focus on an important, yet often overlooked development:
Has your health become a new performance pressure?
Health is increasingly being associated with trends and extremes: ice baths, marathons, fasting diets, and optimizing everything from breathing to recovery. All in the name of health.
But when does it become too much? When do we cross over to stressing the body in an attempt to save it?
“We live in a time where many can no longer feel themselves without extreme stimuli,” says Nanna. Søren explains how even healthy living quickly becomes a regime – an achievement we are measured by.
And in the midst of it all, we might forget to notice what we actually need.
Health isn't necessarily more, faster, stronger. Maybe it's less. Slower. Deeper.
