Mind Your Health Podcast with Dr. Connie Cheung Dr. Connie Cheung

A positive mindset on health and wellness focuses on the interplay between mental attitude and physical well-being. This approach emphasizes the power of optimism, gratitude, and resilience in fostering overall health. In this week's podcast, Dr. Connie discusses the importance of a positive mindset and how to cultivate it despite your impending life or health challenges.

Optimism and Health: Adopting an optimistic outlook can significantly impact health. Positive thinking reduces stress, reduces chronic disease risk, and enhances the immune system. Optimists are likelier to engage in healthy behaviors and adhere to medical advice.

Resilience and Recovery: Building resilience helps individuals better cope with stress, adversity, and illness. Resilient individuals bounce back from setbacks more quickly and maintain a higher level of functioning. Techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive-behavioral strategies can strengthen resilience.

Gratitude and Well-Being: Practicing gratitude has been shown to improve mental health, increase life satisfaction, and foster a sense of overall well-being. Daily gratitude exercises can shift focus away from negative thoughts and enhance emotional balance.

Mind-Body Connection: A positive mindset influences physical health through the mind-body connection. Techniques like visualization, affirmations, and positive self-talk can improve health outcomes. Believing in one’s ability to enhance health encourages proactive health behaviors and self-care.

Holistic Approach: Health and wellness are best approached holistically, integrating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. A positive mindset supports this integration, promoting harmony and balance in all areas of life.

Behavioral Change: Positivity fosters healthier lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep. Positive reinforcement and setting achievable goals can enhance motivation and adherence to healthy habits.

Social Support: Surrounding oneself with positive, supportive individuals enhances mental health and well-being. Social connections provide emotional support, reduce feelings of isolation, and encourage positive health behaviors.

Cultivating a positive mindset is a powerful tool for enhancing health and wellness. It involves optimism, resilience, gratitude, and the recognition of the mind-body connection. By fostering a positive outlook, individuals can improve their overall quality of life and achieve better health outcomes.

Going through challenges in life can often feel like keeping a flickering candle lit during a storm.
Difficult experiences or phases of life are inevitable – they’re just part of the human experience. But often, these experiences are paired with a lacking sense of control and an inability to be the person we used to be up until that point. Which can lead to feelings of depression and a dwindling motivation to do just about anything.
Trust me, I’ve been there. If you’ve been following me, you know my kidney transplant story, and this experience has undoubtedly been the toughest and darkest time of my life.
At times, it felt like I’d never see the light at the end of the tunnel, but eventually I regained the energy, spark, and passion to keep moving forward, which I didn’t have for a very long time.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health Show, I share the exact “bare minimum” routine I followed every single day, even on my toughest of days, that kept me going, and eventually got me through to the other side of the tunnel.
If you’re going through challenging times, I want you to know that you’re not alone. With even just the smallest amount of hope, continue to put one foot in front of the other and I promise you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“Stay away from the sun. Don’t eat any junk food. Don’t work full-time. Take these medications for the rest of your life. And most importantly…DON’T have kids.”
These were the exact words my doctor told me when I was diagnosed with lupus almost 25 years ago. And as an almost Doctor of Physical Therapy getting ready to graduate and embark on a new life chapter, this felt like a death sentence.
I refused to succumb to these “rules” set by my doctor, and today I have two healthy sons and a thriving holistic wellness practice and yoga studio.
I don’t know what my life would look like if I listened to my doctor 100%.
And while I’m not negating everything doctors have ever told me throughout my life, I do believe many recommendations and prognoses given by health professionals can cause limiting beliefs in patients…
…preventing them from living their best, most fulfilling lives despite their condition.
In this Mind Your Health episode, I’ll share my very experience with receiving negative and limiting recommendations from my doctors, and how I turned lemons into lemonade to create a life that I love.
So I want to empower you to challenge the beliefs that doctors and other people have about you and your symptoms/condition, and cultivate an inner awareness and confidence to CHOOSE what’s most in alignment with your true self.
This is YOUR life, not anyone else’s.

Have you ever had something happen that completely changed life as you knew it?
For me, that moment was March 2021 when I got the Covid vaccine. Within 6 months after the vaccine, my kidneys shut down and I experienced complete kidney failure.
Fast forward to unrelenting sickness where I could barely get out of bed, to getting a kidney transplant and then having the transplant removed because my body rejected it…
…I received the scariest statement I had ever heard in my life.
It was the moment my doctors told me they had no answers as to why all this was happening. And that they’ve seen nothing like this in their 30+ years of practice.
What did this mean for me and my future? 
I knew I had to keep going and I had to keep fighting. There was no other option because I needed to be here for my family, even if that meant I had to figure things out on my own.
In this episode of Mind Your Health, follow along as I recount my kidney failure journey and the biggest lessons it taught me…
…which are the reasons why I’m so grateful today for this experience.
So whether you’ve had a diagnosed condition you’ve been fighting for a long time, like cancer or autoimmunity. OR you don’t have a diagnosis but you have mysterious symptoms that your doctors can’t seem to figure out, like gut discomfort, skin rash, fatigue, aches and pains, etc…
Keep going and keep searching for answers and options because I promise that your story can change for the better at any moment.
I’m hosting a FREE training tomorrow May 8th at 12 PM ET where I’ll share four essential life skills I’ve learned that have kept me coming back stronger than ever, no matter what life and health throws my way.
