From Health Debt to Health Wealth: 5 Steps to Thrive Through Perimenopause
Our guest walks us through five practical steps designed to help you stop simply reacting to health problems and start intentionally investing in your future health.
In this episode, we explore:
- What health debt actually means and how you may be carrying it without realizing it
- Why doing "all the things" doesn't necessarily mean you're doing the right things for your body
- How to calculate your health net worth by taking an honest inventory of your symptoms and areas of health that need attention
- Looking beyond weight to areas like gut health, perimenopause symptoms, joint pain, energy, sleep, stress, and more
- How to identify your health income vs. health expenses
- Where you're spending your energy—and what is actually giving energy back
- How to make the most of the 24 hours we all have each day
- What it means to aggressively start paying down your health debt
- How to move from simply managing your health to investing in your future health
The 5-Step Framework:
1. Calculate Your Health Net Worth
Start by taking an honest inventory.
👉What symptoms are you experiencing?
👉What areas of your health feel good?
👉Where are you struggling?
Think about gut health, energy, sleep, hormones, perimenopause symptoms, joint pain, strength, stress, mental health, nutrition, and anything else that impacts how you feel and function.
2. Look at Your Health Income & Expenses
👉Where are you spending your energy?
👉What drains you?
👉What gives you energy back?
This can be a powerful exercise because sometimes we're spending enormous amounts of energy on things that aren't actually improving our health—or our lives.
3. Pay Down Your Health Debt
Once you know where the debt is, you can start addressing it.
The goal isn't to fix everything at once.
It's to identify the areas that are creating the biggest problems and start strategically working on those.
4. Create Time for Your Health
We all have the same 24 hours.
The question isn't necessarily, "How do I find more time?"
It's:
"How can I use the time I have more intentionally?"
What could you change, simplify, delegate, eliminate, or prioritize so you have some capacity to invest in your health?
5. Build Your Health Wealth
Once you've started paying down the debt, the goal isn't to stop.
Now you get to invest.
🌟Strength training.
🌟Nourishing your body.
🌟Prioritizing sleep.
🌟Building relationships.
🌟Managing stress.
Your Takeaway
If you want to try this exercise, grab a piece of paper and create four sections:
My Health Net Worth
What is working well?
My Health Debt
What symptoms, habits, or areas of health need attention?
My Health Expenses
Where am I spending my energy, time, and resources?
My Health Investments
What can I start doing today that will benefit my future self?
You may be surprised by what you discover.
