Alive and Well is a grace-filled space for honest conversations about living healthy, intentional, joy-filled lives rooted in Jesus. I’m Hannah Powers—a holistic nutritionist and health coach, aspiring counselor, and military wife—here to talk faith, health, relationships, and purpose without the pressure of perfectionism. Together we’ll explore what it really means to care for our bodies, minds, and spirits with Jesus at the center.
What if one of the biggest influences on your health isn't your diet—but your thoughts?As a health coach and LPC graduate student, I've become fascinated by the connection between our mind and body. The thoughts we repeatedly dwell on don't just shape our emotions—they can also influence our nervous system, hormones, immune function, gut health, and overall well-being.My hope is that this video encourages you, gives you hope, and reminds you that true health isn't just about what you eat or how you exercise. It's also about what you consistently think, believe, and dwell on🤍Timestamps00:00 – Intro01:20 – How your brain and body communicate03:43 – How psychological stress affects your health06:46 – The gut-brain connection: your "first" and "second" brain10:40 – The placebo and nocebo effect: the power of belief16:26 – Practical ways to support your mental health19:40 – Healthy daily habits for your mind23:49 – Final encouragementAffiliate Links: • Equip Chocolate Collagen: https://www.equipfoods.com/HANNAHPOWERS• ARMRA Colostrum: https://armra.com/HANNAHPOWERS🤍 Let's connect!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedwithannah💬 If this video encouraged you, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway in the comments!!
