The 6 Foundations of Healthy Living
As a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach, I teach my clients these foundations, as they are just that, FOUNDATIONAL
Before medical drugs, before biohacks, before handfuls of supplements, before invasive procedures, I'd recommend optimizing these principles first and see what happens, it's usually enough to balance your body so it can heal on it's own (*obviously not talking emergency care, or serious issues that are at the point that they do need serious intervention, but if you're not quite there, start with the foundations 👍)
I work with people in person and online, DM for a consultation
Get • The six foundation principles are not a checklist to complete.
They are a way of understanding what your body needs internally, and how you express yourself in the world.
Nutrition, hydration, and sleep help create balance within the body.
Breathing, thinking, and movement shape how you use that energy, respond to your environment, and move towards what matters to you.
Paul often explains that these principles cannot be separated from one another.
Poor breathing affects energy production. Poor nutrition reduces the quality of the fuel available to the body. Inadequate sleep changes how you think, move, recover, and make decisions.
But simply knowing the six principles is not enough.
You also need a clear direction.
Your goal, dream, or “North Star” helps determine how each principle should be applied in your life. The needs of someone training for performance may be very different from those of someone recovering from burnout, improving digestion, or rebuilding their health.
That is why the CHEK System does not give everyone the same starting point.
It looks at the whole person first.
Our free My Health Priority Quiz helps you identify which area of your health may deserve your attention first, so you can begin with greater clarity rather than trying to change everything at once.
