In the realm of health and wellness, some individuals find ways to intertwine their professional pursuits with their spiritual missions. Cyd Notter is one such individual. As an ardent advocate for plant-based nutrition and the author of "The Plan A Diet," Cyd uses her business as a platform to carry out her ministry.
In a recent episode of the Health Science Podcast, Cyd shared insights into her journey, the power of community, and practical tips for overcoming barriers to a healthy lifestyle.
The Intersection of Business and Ministry
Cyd's commitment to health goes beyond the bounds of business; it is her ministry. Inspired by her faith and the belief that our bodies are wonderfully made, she founded the "Wonderfully Made Ministry." This initiative aims to promote healthy eating within her church community through weight loss challenges, cooking demonstrations, and educational talks. Despite modest attendance, Cyd remains undeterred, driven by the belief that even reaching a few individuals can make a significant difference.
The Power of Encouragement and Community
One of the recurring themes in Cyd's conversation was the power of encouragement and community. Reflecting on a quote by Clint Eastwood—"He gets up every morning and goes outside and doesn’t let the old man in"—Cyd emphasized the importance of staying active and vibrant regardless of age. This sentiment resonated deeply with her and underscored her belief in breaking free from societal age-related stereotypes.
Addressing Resistance to Change
A significant portion of the conversation revolved around common barriers to adopting a healthier lifestyle. Cyd identified twelve specific reasons that often deter individuals from making lasting changes, including pain avoidance, emotional eating, food addictions, and ingrained habits. The avoidance of discomfort is a major hurdle for many people. Cyd emphasizes that people who are successful long-term are willing to endure the short-term period of discomfort needed to get over the hump.
Family and peer pressure also play a significant role. Cyd cited an article suggesting that the lack of household support is the biggest reason for failure in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
