Alexandra gets to the root of better health

Nambour Lifestyle Coach and Behaviour Change Specialist Alexandra Morgan “I help people who know what they need to do for their health, but they’re really just struggling to make it happen.”

FOR Alexandra Morgan better health is not about obsessing over the number on the scales or chasing the latest quick fix.

The Nambour Lifestyle Coach and Behaviour Change Specialist prefers to dig a little deeper.

Speaking at the Nambour Chamber of Commerce breakfast on September 3, Alexandra used a simple analogy to explain her approach.

“I think of health like a tree and your symptoms, your weight, cravings, hormones – these are all the fruit,” she said.

“We spend so much time and money focusing on the fruit.”

Instead, Alexandra helps people look at the “roots” – the everyday factors including food, movement, stress, lifestyle and environment that can shape how they feel. Her specialty is working with people who often already know what they should be doing, but find putting that knowledge into practice is another matter entirely.

“I help people who know what they need to do for their health, but they’re really just struggling to make it happen,” she said.

It is a practical philosophy that cuts through much of the noise surrounding health and wellbeing. Rather than simply telling clients what to eat or how much to exercise, Alexandra’s approach encourages them to understand the habits and circumstances that may be standing in the way of lasting change.

Alexandra also contributed a health-focused lucky-door prize, including a breakfast reset program and a weekend accommodation voucher.

Her message was straightforward: if the “fruit” is not looking the way you want it to, it may be time to stop staring at the branches and take a closer look at the roots.
