Hi ,
There comes a point in many wellbeing journeys where what once worked no longer does. The training that energised now depletes. Sleep shifts. Recovery takes longer. And the body starts communicating in ways that are hard to read.
We sat down with Raj Barker — a qualified nutritionist of more than ten years and a somatic movement practitioner — for a conversation about what our bodies are trying to tell us, and why the answer is so rarely to push harder.
When our instinct is to eat less, train more and override the fatigue, Raj offers the opposite invitation: slow down. In somatics, the practice is to turn attention inward — toward sensation, breath, energy and emotion — and to treat symptoms less as failures and more as signals worth listening to.
As Raj puts it, feeling well and looking well are not always the same thing — and stillness, far from being passive, is where much of the useful information arrives. Walk without headphones. Sit with a cup of tea. Let the mind settle. These small moments do more than we give them credit for.
It is a considered, grounded read for anyone whose body has started asking for something different.
