12. Finding Joy in Health: Small Changes, Big Impact with Ryan Domeyer

Have Good Ripple Effect

Welcome back to Have Good Ripple Effect! I’m Lisa Even, and today we’re joined by health and wellness expert Ryan Domeyer, also known as a “human body consultant.” Ryan’s approach to health is all about creating a lifestyle of movement, strength, and joy. Together, we dive into how health impacts joy, the power of consistent movement, and simple tips to help you live a fuller, more active life.

Ryan shares why he believes that your health shouldn’t come with a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, it’s about finding activities that you actually enjoy and will show up for regularly. From “movement snacks” to practical protein tips, Ryan offers ways to enhance your health without making drastic sacrifices. We also touch on the concept of “health span” versus “life span” and why it’s essential to invest in your well-being now so you can thrive in the years ahead.

Join us as we discuss:

• How to choose activities that bring you joy and keep you moving
• Why “movement snacks” are essential for breaking up sedentary routines
• The power of prioritizing protein and other small changes that can have a big impact
• Tips on avoiding restrictive diet habits and finding a sustainable, enjoyable approach to health
• How health connects with joy in a way that’s meaningful, practical, and achievable

Whether you're looking to improve your health, find more joy, or just curious about how small changes can make a huge difference, this episode is filled with insights to help you on your journey.
