Hacking Your Health

Can building a strong fitness foundation help you overcome your deepest fears? This week, we sit down with Monika from the London WeHackHealth headquarters to uncover her transformative journey. Starting from November 2022, Monika shares how her involvement with our Hacks group guided her through weight gain challenges, inconsistent lifting habits, and fears surrounding pregnancy. Hear about her disciplined approach to fitness and diet, which led to a six-kilo weight loss and a newfound focus on strength training. Discover how the pandemic became a catalyst for positive change in her life, pushing her to seek a healthier, stronger self.
Monika opens up on the intricacies of maintaining physical fitness during pregnancy, shedding light on the importance of pre-pregnancy conditioning. She likens the preparation to training for a marathon, explaining how flexibility and endurance are crucial. Through personal stories, Monika illustrates how she adapted her goals, such as maintaining push-ups instead of pull-ups, to prioritize both her and her baby's health. The conversation emphasizes the need for adjusting expectations and staying well-informed about the physiological changes women undergo during this significant phase of life.
Join us as we explore Monika’s profound experiences at events in Belfast and Phoenix, where intensive therapy sessions and community engagement played pivotal roles in her personal growth. From confronting inner childhood triggers in Belfast to embracing a relaxed, supportive atmosphere in Phoenix, Monika’s journey underscores the value of holistic approaches. Learn how techniques like breathwork and deep relaxation can manage stress and support natural processes like labor. This episode is a heartfelt testament to the power of community and personal determination in overcoming obstacles and achieving holistic well-being.
