Stop apologizing for putting your health first when you’re with family or on vacation.   Dr. Andrew Fix gets real about the quiet pressure so many of us feel to explain or soften our choices when we’re around others, especially when those choices support our health. Why do we feel the need to say sorry for skipping a drink or going out for a run before dinner? Why does taking care of ourselves sometimes feel like a disruption instead of something worth protecting?    In this episode, Dr. Fix shares a personal moment that sparked a bigger reflection on what it means to show up for your well-being without guilt. Whether you’re traveling, hosting guests, or navigating full family days, he offers a grounded perspective on how to make space for your own needs without disconnecting from the people around you.   Quotes “You don’t have to feel bad about wanting to take care of yourself because at the end of the day, that’s going to make you feel good.” (03:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “It’s filling up your cup first so that you can be there to support both mentally and physically the other people that you need to take care of or spend time with in your life. And it’s so important for us all to do.” (03:42 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Do the things that you want to do when you want to do them. Don’t be a jerk about it. Plan things as you need to around the activities that you have planned with your family and your friends.” (05:16 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “If they’re important to you, the other people should support you in those things. And if they don’t, make sure you bring that up to them.” (05:30 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “Don’t apologize for taking care of yourself because at the end of the day, that’s what we need to do.” (05:46 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:
