Why We Sabotage Our Own Health (And How to Fix It)

By cegan

Tell someone to eat better, exercise more, or get some sleep, and what happens? They’ll nod, agree… and then do the opposite. Not because they don’t know better, but because habits are stronger than knowledge.

It’s human nature. We resist being told what to do—even when it’s for our own good. It’s why gym memberships spike in January and collect dust by March. It’s why we reach for sugar when we’re stressed, even though we know it’s the last thing our body needs.

So what’s the move? Surround yourself with the right people.

Want to be healthier? Be around people who make health non-negotiable. Want to be more disciplined? Spend time with those who walk their talk. Want more energy? Hang with people who prioritize rest, movement, and real food. Strength grows in proximity to strength.

A wrestler doesn’t train with someone weaker. They train with someone stronger. That’s how they level up.

So here’s the mic-drop: Your health is a reflection of the company you keep. Choose wisely.

Let’s Talk About Health

I work with accomplished professionals who want to look and feel as healthy as they are successful. They spent years prioritizing success over health, and are now troubled by excess weight, exhaustion, and foggy thinking at work and home. I help them take control of their health, so they can focus on what matters in their life and career.
