The Biggest Health Mistake Busy Women Make—and How to Avoid It

Jan 03, 2025
Here's the biggest health mistake (and how to avoid it) I see women making when it comes to wanting to improve their health, lose weight, or make the lifestyle changes necessary to decrease their risk of breast cancer. Learn what you can do today to avoid this mistake!

If you’ve ever set out to make healthy changes—whether to lose weight, eat better, or improve your breast health—you’re not alone.

You probably started strong, full of motivation, determined to make this the time you stick with it. But then life happened. Work, family, stress—it all piled on, and those big plans began to feel impossible.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: It’s not your fault.

 

The Biggest Health Mistake Busy Women Make

One of the most common mistakes I see women make is trying to change too much at once.

Big overhauls can feel exciting because they promise fast results. But they’re rarely realistic—especially for busy women juggling careers, families, and everything else life throws their way.

The result? Burnout. Frustration. And often, the feeling that you’ve failed.

But let me be clear: It’s not you that’s failing—it’s the system that failed you.

 

The Secret to Sustainable Change

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to change everything overnight to see results.

The key to success is focusing on small, consistent changes.

These smaller steps might seem insignificant at first, but over time, they add up to big, sustainable results.

 

Three Simple Changes to Get Started

If you’re ready to take control of your health without feeling overwhelmed, start with these easy, actionable steps:

1️⃣ Add an extra serving of veggies to your day. Whether it’s spinach in your morning smoothie or roasted carrots at dinner, this small change boosts your nutrient intake and helps you feel fuller, longer.

2️⃣ Swap one sugary drink for water or herbal tea. Hydrating your body and reducing sugar is a win-win—and it’s a step you’ll barely notice in your daily routine.

3️⃣ Move your body for 10 minutes. A quick walk, a stretch session, or even dancing in your kitchen can help reduce stress and improve your mood.

These aren’t drastic changes—but they’re doable. And that’s what makes them work.

 

Why Small Steps Matter

Big results don’t come from quick fixes or fad diets—they come from habits you can actually stick to.

When you start small, you build momentum. Each success gives you the confidence and motivation to keep going, turning small steps into lasting changes.
