Since the pandemic, many of us have shifted our workspace to our home. Remote work is on the rise due to the increased flexibility and productivity it brings. Although there are many benefits to working remotely, there are also increased health risks that we need to be aware of. When working remotely, there is no longer a clear boundary between work and home like there is when working at an office. We are also more likely to experience prolonged sitting, increased screen time, and increased sedentary lifestyle – all of which can compromise physical, mental, and emotional health.
In this episode of the Mind Your Health Podcast, Dr. Connie discusses the importance of being mindful of how working at home influences your physical body and your mind, and what you can do to decrease the health risks associated with working remotely.
In this episode, you'll discover:
🖊️The health implications associated with working remotely, including increased isolation, loneliness, stress, and burnout, as well as increased risk of obesity, musculoskeletal issues, and physical and mental fatigue
🖊️The differences between office work and remote work that we don't think about, and how these differences impact both our minds and bodies
🖊️Consequences of dismissing the warning signs of health risks due to prolonged sitting and lack of work-life balance
🖊️10 things you can do to maintain and even BOOST your physical, mental, and emotional health while working remotely
Download this FREE handout that lists the 10 things you can do to boost your health while working remote. Print it out and keep it near your work space as a daily reminder 😊

This is the FINAL part of our 3-part series where I share my personal health journey as both a practitioner AND a patient, with the intention of providing you with some insights that could lead to "aha" moments, so that you can take control of your health and heal your symptoms once and for all.
If you haven't listened to parts 1 or 2 yet, you can check them out by clicking the links below.
🎧 Part 1: How Your Relationships Influence Your Health
https://drconniecheung.com/blogs/mind-your-health-show/ep-296-meet-dr-connie-part-1-how-your-relationships-influence-your-health
🎧 Part 2: Your Patterns Create Your Health...And Your Sickness
https://drconniecheung.com/blogs/mind-your-health-show/ep-297-meet-dr-connie-part-2-your-patterns-create-your-health-and-your-sickness
In this episode, I'll be going deeper into all the disciplines and modalities that I studied and tried personally, and why these failed to heal my sickness...UNTIL I discovered the missing piece of the puzzle that helped me integrate these practices in a way that allowed me to get to the underlying ROOT of my issues, once and for all.
By listening to this episode, you'll learn:
🍎Why specialized medicine is ineffective in healing patients, and what the doctors MISS when treating you
🍎The moment I realized that my emotions were negatively impacting my health, and how your internal state of being might be (unknowingly) sabotaging your healthy efforts
🍎The common theme I discovered in ALL my patients who were struggling with symptoms (...and this wasn't something I learned in all my education)
🍎The deeper work required for long-term healing, and why continuing to look for the next best diet, supplement, or expert will keep you stuck with symptoms on an endless hamster wheel
If you've tried it all and you still can't manage to get a hold on those symptoms that are interfering with your daily life, and you agree that healing requires more than DOING all the healthy things, then this episode is for you.

We are back this week for part 2 of our 3-part series where I share with you my personal story and how Functional Yoga Medicine as a methodology came to be, in hopes that it helps you recognize YOUR role in your health and wellness journey.
In part 2, I'll be talking more about my personal health journey, but more importantly, the PATTERNS I now recognize looking back that I believe contributed to various health struggles I've had along the way. It's true that how you do anything is how you do everything, so I've also realized it was these same patterns that pushed me to continue searching for answers to my autoimmune and gut issues, eventually leading me to create Functional Yoga Medicine as a Self Healthcare System that has not only helped me heal, but many of my patients and clients as well.
All in all, if you want to create something you don't currently have, like optimal health, it's crucial to bring awareness to your patterns that are either bringing you closer to what you want, or further away.
In this episode, I share about:
🌿 How my health and wellness journey began, and the truth about why this journey started for me
🌿My patterns when it came to school, eating, and exercising, and how these patterns eventually led to my autoimmune diagnosis
🌿The limitations I was met with as a patient in both the conventional and holistic medical systems, as well as in my education as a clinician
🌿The one thing I've incorporated in my practice, and why it makes all the difference in the success of my patients and clients
And be sure to tune into the final part of this series next week where I'll talk more about Functional Yoga Medicine and how YOU can apply it to create your own Self Healthcare System, no longer needing to rely on external tools for your healing.
