Overcoming Excuses to Take Control of Your Health, gain energy and Thrive
How often do you find yourself saying, “I want to make the change and be healthy, but…”? Maybe it’s "I don’t have the time," or "It’s too expensive."
You’re not alone. Many people struggle to take that first step towards better health because of the excuses they’ve built up over time. But here’s the truth: those excuses are just roadblocks standing in your way.
Let’s break down some of the most common excuses and explore why they’re wrong – and, more importantly, how you can overcome them.

"I Don’t Have Time"
Why It’s Wrong: Life is busy, but your health doesn’t require a complete lifestyle overhaul. Small, consistent changes make the biggest impact. If you wait for the “perfect” time to start, you’ll never begin.
How to Overcome It: Start small. Take a 10-minute walk after dinner or prep one healthy meal a week. These small steps will build momentum and eventually become part of your routine.
"I’m Too Old"
Why It’s Wrong: It’s never too late to start prioritizing your health. Your body has an incredible ability to heal and improve at any age. Age is not a barrier; it’s an opportunity to focus on what your body truly needs now.
How to Overcome It: Focus on gentle, supportive changes that align with where you are in life. Incorporate activities like walking, yoga, or swimming, and nourish your body with foods that support energy and vitality. Every positive change you make, no matter your age, has a meaningful impact.
"It’s Too Expensive"
Why It’s Wrong: Real Health may seem costly upfront, but it’s an investment in your long-term health. Think about the ongoing costs of medications, trial-and-error supplements you heard in social media, tried and stoped, doctor visits, and untreated symptoms.
How to Overcome It: Reframe your thinking: prioritize spending on your health the way you would on other essentials. The money you invest now can save you from larger expenses (and more pain) later.
"My Doctor Says There’s Nothing Wrong"
Why It’s Wrong: Just because your standard blood tests are “normal” doesn’t mean you’re healthy. Functional medicine goes deeper, addressing the root causes of your symptoms rather than just managing them.
How to Overcome It: Trust your intuition. If something feels off, it’s worth investigating further. Functional medicine practitioners listen to your concerns and work with you to find answers.
"I’ve Tried Everything"
Why It’s Wrong: No two people are the same, and health solutions aren’t one-size-fits-all. What hasn’t worked for others might work for you when approached in a personalized way.
How to Overcome It: Functional medicine tailors its approach to your unique needs. Instead of focusing on what didn’t work before, focus on what you haven’t tried yet.
"It’s Too Complicated"
Why It’s Wrong: Health doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right guidance, it’s possible to break things down into manageable steps.
How to Overcome It: Work with someone who can create a clear plan for you. When you know what to do, when to do it, and why, it becomes much easier to follow through.
"I’m Too Overwhelmed"
Why It’s Wrong: When you’re overwhelmed, health often takes a back seat. But prioritizing your well-being will help you manage everything else in your life better.
How to Overcome It: Start with just one thing. Maybe it’s drinking more water or committing to 10 minutes of relaxation a day. Small wins add up over time.
