The Definition of Health.
The Definition of Health
Defined by you.
You've been told what to eat, how to exercise, what numbers to watch, what habits to build, and what a healthy body should look like.
But there's one question we don't ask nearly enough:
interactive workshop
reserve your spot
Defined by you.
What do you want your health to allow you to do and experience?
Somewhere along the way, healthy became a lot of things to keep up with. Protein targets. Steps. Strength training. Sleep scores. Bloodwork. Supplements. Calories. Cardio. Hormones. Morning routines. The scale.
Some of these things can tell us something meaningful about our health. Others can be useful tools or recommendations. And some of it may not matter much for you at all.
But when we're surrounded by so many ideas about what being healthy looks like, it's easy to start treating every recommendation as a requirement.
Instead of asking whether something is useful for us, we start asking whether we're doing health "right."
That's when our own experiences get lost in the conversation.
What if we put you back in the conversation?

a different way to think about health...
What if you stopped starting with everything you should be doing and started with what you actually want your health to make possible?
In this interactive workshop, you'll define what being healthy means for your body and your life, then use that definition to make clearer, more intentional decisions about how you care for yourself.
Look at the advice, expectations, numbers, and recommendations you've collected about health, and begin separating what matters from what may be adding noise.
Start with the concern or goal that brought you here, then explore what feeling better would allow you to do, feel, and experience.
Start with what brought you here.
Then look underneath it.
Sort Through the Noise
Look Beyond the Goal
What's influencing you
what you really want
Explore how a smaller, more flexible set of habits can support what matters to you, even as your time, energy, responsibilities, and capacity change.
Supporting Your Health
making it real
Create a definition of health that reflects how your body functions, your priorities, and the life you want your health to support.
Defining Health for You
your definition
What we'll explore together
A definition of health that actually considers your body, priorities, and life.
What will you leave with?
A better filter for health advice so you can tell what's useful and what's noise.

I help women make sense of their health.
I'm Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition® and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
My work is built around helping women understand the bigger picture of their health, decide what deserves their attention, and find realistic ways to support themselves within the lives they're actually living.
I created the Definition of Health because I believe good health information should help us make better decisions about our bodies, not become another standard we're trying to live up to.
Hi, I'm Liz!
Do I need to have a specific health goal?
No. You might come with a concern like weight, energy, IBS, sleep, or any health goal. Or you might simply know that you want to feel better but don't know where to focus. Both are good places to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does "defining health for myself" mean measures don't matter?
Not at all. Symptoms, labs, diagnoses, preventative care, physical function, and evidence based recommendations provide important information about your health. Our goal is to help you consider that information alongside your own priorities, experiences, and life.
Do I have to share personal information with the group?
No. You'll have opportunities to participate in the conversation, but you decide what you're comfortable sharing. Your personal reflections can remain private.
Will this workshop tell me how to eat or exercise?
No. We'll talk about health information, habits, and recommendations, but the purpose is to help you think more clearly about what matters for your health and how you want to support it.
Is this a lecture or will I be actively participating?
This is an interactive workshop. I'll guide you through reflection and exercises throughout our time together, and you'll use your workbook to begin creating your own definition of health.
What should I bring?
Come with an open mind and something to write with. You'll receive a workbook to guide you through the exercises.
You don't need a perfect protocol or definition of health.
You need one that includes your body, your priorities, your capacity, and the life you're actually trying to live.
Come define it for yourself.
