Creating Healthy Habits

Why do habits matter?

Healthy habits are at the root of establishing and maintaining wellness. HolSpanMD focuses on habits that range from substances in our environment to our perceptions. These habits anchor your everyday behaviors and the way you experience and interact with the world. These habits can be cultivated and modified. HolSpanMD stresses the importance of “getting in the habit of having good habits.”

Healthy habits can contribute to maintenance of health and wellness. Positive behaviors and mindsets support the maintenance of long-term behavioral changes that are the foundation for the HolSpanMD approach. Alternatively, unhealthy habits including substance and technology abuse tend to undermine our overall health along with the quality of our experiences in the world. Adding a healthy habit often displaces an unhealthy habit, amplifying the impact of the change in a force multiplier manner. HolSpanMD strives to bring awareness to these tradeoffs.

Substance Use & Abuse

The habits you create related to substances can impact your overall health in a number of ways. The use of substances, such as caffeine, alcohol, and recreational drugs, has a direct affect on your metabolic health. For example, excessive alcohol use can compromise your quality of sleep, your metabolism, or your ability to perform sexually. It’s important to develop healthy habits around substance use in order to improve your health and optimize your healthspan.
