Your first step to healthy change is right here!
Hi! I'm Becca Benning. I'm all about the simple, realistic steps that can help you to reduce inflammation and get your spark back ✨ Because let's be honest, even considering the idea of making a change to benefit our health can be enough to induce an overwhelm-related headache! There are approximately a gazillion things we tell ourselves that we 'should' be doing, so of course what we actually do is beat ourselves up about about being unmotivated and useless, and change nothing*.
(*No judgement, I've been there - with bells on!)
Ready to get unstuck and find your personal starting point? You're in the right place! This 100% counts as a step in itself, and the quiz will help you find your next one - so it's a (completely free) two for one 😉
What's your next (small) step to healthy change?

Your Top Score is Stress Management
You are not alone! There are huge benefits to even small amounts of time devoted to calming the waters. For more on how foundational stress management is to well-being, check out this article.
If you're not clear where your stress is coming from, perhaps start by reflecting for a few moments at the end of each day to see what you can identify.
If you have a good grasp on the stressors in your life, you might consider what small step could reduce the impact of one of them. Or, you might begin by working on increasing your capacity to deal with them. You may feel ready to do a little of both.
If you could use some specific ideas, this article may be helpful.
This does not mean that you NEED to start here. If, having reflected on the questions, something else feels more fitting, follow your instincts. You know yourself better than anyone. For some more general guidance on a gentle approach to healthy change see this article.

Your Top Score is Sleep
The great news here is that any work you do to improve your sleep has the potential to benefit every other area of your well-being. It really is difficult to overstate how important it is.
How much do you know about your sleep habits and patterns as they are? It may be useful to look at your sleep for a week and jot down some details to get a picture of how things are working now. If you are ready to take some steps, consider what small change might be helpful. If you could use some inspiration, download my FREE Getting Started Guide.

Your Top Score is Movement
Notice that this is movement, which is not necessarily about 'exercise'. Though if what you need is more exercise, that can of course be a great place to begin.
A great start can be thinking about the kinds of movement that you enjoy. How could you dip a toe into bringing a little more of that into your daily life? Alternatively, you might consider how you could bring more regular movement breaks into your day. Just two minutes of gentle movement for every twenty minutes spent in your seat can go a long way towards undoing the negative effects of sitting.

Your Top Score is Social Connection
It is not uncommon to feel isolated. Humans are tribal animals, and modern life can leave a lot lacking unless we put in some conscious effort. We really do need to feel connected in order to thrive.
There is not one right way to work on building or strengthening a social network. What you need is specific to you. If you know what feels right as a first step, take it. Allow yourself to go at your own pace, while recognising that some elements of the process are likely to feel a little (or a lot) uncomfortable at first.

Your Top Score is Dietary Choices
You are, unsurprisingly, not alone! What we eat matters, and our relationship with food can be complex. What I will gently suggest here, is that there is an alternative to 'going on a diet'.
Our dietary choices matter, and some of the diet culture we live in can make choosing health challenging. However unhappy you are with your current eating patterns, you are not weak. You are living in a food environment that is largely not supportive of well-being - and making change alone is not easy.
For you it may be as simple as paying closer attention to the way that you are eating now and how it makes you feel. Or perhaps adding a single portion of veg to your daily intake, not necessarily every day if that feels too much.
For some more specific ideas that might help you to figure out a first step that works for you, download my FREE Getting Started Guide.

Your Top Score is Something Else
The most pressing piece of your well-being puzzle is something other than the general foundational pillars. You know that this feels important, and you are ready to do something about it.
The first step is to get a good handle on the way things are working (or not!) right now. If you already have a solid understanding of what is and is not working in this area, the next stage might be to think about what you want to work towards. What would you like things to look like in, say, 3 months? This clarity can help you to identify a small step you can take now that could set you on the path towards that better future.

✨ Ditch the overwhelm that is keeping you stuck in the bored-of-feeling-this-awful rut.
✨ One place to begin, personalised to your situation and priorities.
✨ Inspiration on exactly how to make a start.
Hiya 👋🏻
I'm so glad you found your way here. My name is Becca Benning, and my aim is to help you feel better - even if you've been told there's nothing else you can do, or maybe even that you're 'fine' as you are (don't get me started, that's a topic for another day!).
I work with clients with chronic health problems, particularly autoimmunity, whether diagnosed or not. I support them to design and implement a bespoke and realistic plan to build (and sustain) the feel-good habits they'd love to have.
If you're not fussed about my CV you can skip this paragraph, but in case you'd like to know what qualifies me to guide anyone on their way to improved well-being, I am a Functional Health Coach (trained by Chris Kresser and the wonderful faculty at the Kresser Institute) and an AIP-Certified 
Coach. In 2023 I certified as a Functional Nutrition Counsellor with Andrea Nakayama and her team at The Functional Nutrition Alliance.
I am also a parent, a step-parent, a former teacher, and an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) veteran with multiple autoimmune and other chronic health conditions (including MS, coeliac disease, thyroid dysfunction, psoriasis and adenomyosis).
My clients are individuals, families and educators who are:
- Struggling to nurture their well-being amid busy lives.
- Battling beliefs that self-care is an unjustified indulgence.
- Often focused more on caring for others.
- Fed up with feeling they have to say no, when they'd love to say yes.
- Ready for a different approach.
Find out more about me here.
