Diet, Physical Activity, and Mental Well-being: Jillian Michaels' Approach
Jillian Michaels, renowned fitness and wellness expert, is not just about physical health. She is a proponent of mental health care, believing that a healthy lifestyle encompasses more than just diet and exercise.
Michaels has seen a psychiatrist and has been open about her own struggles with mental health. She disclosed her battles without shame, encouraging others to do the same. Michaels lives with depression and has taken medication for mental health issues.
Her divorce was a difficult time in her life, but it led her to delve deeper into the philosophical principles that factor into her training methods. She has extensive knowledge of these principles, drawing inspiration from sources like Eckhart Tolle's book "A New Earth."
In a recent development, Michaels and Gabe Howard, an award-winning writer, speaker, and host of the "Inside Mental Health" podcast, joked about starting a podcast called "Inside Philosophy." Howard, who lives with bipolar disorder, is also an author, with his book "Mental Illness Is an Asshole and Other Observations" available on Amazon.
Michaels emphasizes the importance of understanding why we set goals and why we are doing something for our mental health. She suggests making a plan to accomplish lofty goals by "meeting people where they're at."
To help cultivate nutrition and fitness wellness, Michaels has created a mobile app. The app, titled "Foodvisor," was created by a team of experts who design personalized nutrition plans for users. While the exact individual creator's name is not specified, the app is a testament to Michaels' commitment to promoting mental and physical wellbeing.
In a world where mental health is often stigmatized, Michaels and Howard are using their platforms to normalize conversations about mental health and encourage people to find the solution that works for them. They believe that life is about having meaning, not just about being happy.
