Moving for Mental Health, Longevity and Complete Wellness with Rossie Ballard
What happens when we treat our health as non-negotiable? This question lies at the heart of the most recent Words of Wellness conversation with Rossie Ballard, holistic health coach and owner of a fitness studio, who believes firmly that "your health is your wealth, and if you're not okay, nothing's going to be okay."
Rossie's journey began unexpectedly at 14 when she was thrust into teaching a fitness class after the instructor didn't show up. Despite her shyness, something clicked—she found her confidence and passion. Fast forward to the pandemic, where she started television fitness segments using household items like water bottles and toilet paper rolls to help people move during lockdown. She's continued these segments for years, expanding them to address all dimensions of wellness.
Sharing holistic wellness practices the conversation explores how walking serves as moving meditation, how nature acts as therapy, and why having gratitude practices grounds us amid life's chaos. Rossie shares insights from completing the 75 Hard challenge twice, emphasizing that consistency—not perfection—ultimately transforms our health.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when Rossie discusses longevity. Working with seniors, including a 103-year-old client, she witnesses firsthand how strength training dramatically impacts quality of life. After age 35, we lose 3-5 pounds of muscle per decade unless we actively preserve it. This muscle loss leads to falls—the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults. The message becomes clear: the work we do today shapes not just tomorrow, but our decades ahead.
Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking to deepen existing practices, this episode offers practical wisdom for creating sustainable habits that support both physical vitality and mental wellbeing. What small step will you take today that your future self will thank you for?

You know I tell people it's like it's not an option. You have to make some time to take care of yourself. You know we all get busy, we all have jobs, we all have, you know, things that we have to do, responsibilities. But your health is your wealth and if you're not, okay, nothing's going to be okay.
Speaker 2:Do you get confused by all of the information that bombards us every day on ways to improve our overall health and our overall wellness? Do you often feel stuck, unmotivated or struggle to reach your wellness goals? Do you have questions as to what exercises you should be doing, what foods you should or should not be eating, how to improve your overall emotional and mental well-being? Hello everyone, I am so excited to welcome you to Words of Wellness. My name is Shelly Jeffries and I will be your host. My goal is to answer these questions and so much more to share tips, education and inspiration around all of the components of wellness through solo and guest episodes.
Speaker 2:With 35 plus years as a health and wellness professional, a retired college professor, a speaker and a multi-passionate entrepreneur, I certainly have lots to share. However, my biggest goal and inspiration in doing this podcast is to share the wellness stories of others with you, to bring in guests who can share their journeys so that we can all learn together while making an impact on the health, the wellness and lives of all of you, our listeners. The ultimate hope is that you leave today with even just one nugget that can enhance the quality of your life, and that you will. We all will, now and into the future, live our best quality of lives, full of energy, happiness and joy. Now let's dive into our message for today.
Speaker 2:Hello everyone, and welcome back to Words of Wellness. I am very excited to share my guest with you all. We actually go actually back a few years. We met in a you all, we actually go actually back a few years. We met in a mastermind a few years ago, so I'm really honored to have her here today. She is a holistic health coach for women, an integrated nutrition coach, and she also has a podcast of her own.
Speaker 1:So, rosie, welcome to the show. I'm so excited to have you here, hey.
Speaker 2:Shelly, thank you so much, super excited we reconnected and I'm so honored to be on your podcast today. Thank you, yeah, it's so fun that we've reconnected. I think that is just really, really special and it's wild to think back. I don't it was. I think it was about maybe five years ago now or so, when we did a cross-line summit, right, a health and wellness summit together with a couple other couple other people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this was, I think it was during COVID 2020, when a lot of us coaches kind of came together and trying to figure out or at least I was trying to figure out what was the next step for all of us or how do we make it through this time. And I joined a group and that's where we met virtually Right, and then we did the summit together and I think throughout the years, we kind of just, you know, see each other on Instagram or whatever, so that's so funny.
Speaker 2:I know it's crazy, because it just goes to show, you know, there's that definite benefit to being online and and doing certain things virtually and having these connections with people that we wouldn't have had otherwise, right? So I guess it's like, it's almost like, even though that was a very challenging time, definitely blessings came out of it, and this is certainly certainly one getting to getting to know you and meet you, and in here we are a few years later reconnecting, so it's really special, thank you, I think, yeah, I think it's a.
Speaker 1:You know, like you said, it's a blessing that we got to meet people virtually and through all this crazy stuff that we went through, we've been able to connect and network, you know, for other fun projects that we have.
Speaker 2:For sure, and I think we both well, I don't think I know we both have served serving hearts and that's why we do what we do. And you know, for me, initially my passion and enthusiasm for fitness actually started when I was in junior high, my PE class. So I would love to know where it started for you, how you originally got involved with with what you're doing today.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, I could go back years. I don't want to say I'm like super old, but I want to say I started off when I was a teenager and I was extremely shy when I was young. You know, when I was a little girl and I got. I remember my mom. I did do ice skating, I did do some sports, ice skating was my thing. But my mom enrolled me to a gym, a fitness class, and we went together and I was only about 14. And it was this group exercise class and the instructor she started having. You know, I'm not I don't remember exactly what happened, but she just started not showing up to classes. And I remember one time and it was a private small studio and one time she didn't show up and the ladies there I remember they told me you should teach. And I'm like I was like 14 or 15 at the time and I was like I can't do this. I was extremely shy, but I winged it, just like we were talking, and it really became my passion.
Speaker 1:Since then, I felt my confidence as soon as I was put up and I don't know what came out of me, but I was able to lead and to coach came out of me. But I was able to lead and to coach, you know, at a very, very young age, and from there I just started setting classes. And then I figured that, okay, I want to learn more, and she ended up closing the studio and so I was 16. And I remember I'm like, okay, I'm going to get a part time job. So I went to different little gyms and this was in La Paz, where I'm from, in Baja Mexico, and I got a job. And then I found out, well, I needed to get certified. So I got my little certification at the time and since then I've been coaching, leading and training through. It was my, my little fun job through my college and through my high school and through everything. And you know, although I've been doing other things, you know, I've always found that wellness has been part of my life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that just warms my heart because it just brings me back Our stories and our background is so familiar. I love it. I love it. I just love it because I did the same exact thing that you did. And it's so funny when you talk about being shy, because when I talk, when I share that now I just cause I remember as a young girl I was shy also, which now it's like people would probably be like no way, but back then that was the case and I can't, I can't even imagine imagine it now, like I there's definitely not a shy bone in my body at this stage of my life.
Speaker 2:But it's as funny to think back and then hear that is just what we did as teenagers too, to kind of like blossom and just get us out of that right, which is such a great story I just love. I love hearing about that. For you it's super great, and so I mean you do segments on TV locally in your town where you are now right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's actually another, I guess, blessing from COVID. So what happened is that we were all on lockdown right In 2020. And everybody was, you know, locked down. No movement. And I just kept thinking I don't know, but people just need to move. And, you know, I did know a couple of the people from TV, but they reached out to me and they're like, hey, we should do something like network, because they knew that I was doing a few things online. And so, anyways, you know, I kind of brought it up and I'm like I'm willing, let's get people moving. So we, we collaborated together and so that's what we did. I was on TV Actually, I'm still on TV every Monday morning since 2020.
Speaker 1:Really consistent, and I do little segments. And at first was it was just really funny how it all started Because, if you remember, there was like no equipment. So I would have to get creative with toilet paper, water bottles, bleach and I would create all these little workouts and they're like, okay, keep it coming, we need this. And people started getting. You know, they started getting feedback from from the people you know watching, because it is a local channel but it's pretty watched, and so I would just come up with these workouts and people were really just inspired to move and so I've been getting you know since then.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of people that still watch it. So I'm still doing it and they're short segments and I just try to get creative and I tailor to all different people. Sometimes I do kids workouts, sometimes I do senior workouts, sometimes I do just regular, you know, workouts, whatever it is, but I just keep going. And sometimes I just do wellness, you know, depending on the month, like last month was me mental health awareness month. So I was just making sure that I was talking about mental health and why we move and tips for mental health. And you know, every month I try to, you know, go what, wherever we're dealing with.
Speaker 2:Well, and that's great, it's it's kind of like a theme and whatever, like you're saying, is the topic for the month or whatever the focus is. And that's really a wonderful thing because you're now you're you're not just focusing on the fitness and the exercise, which is very important, but you're bringing in the complete, you know, wellness, like you say, the holistic wellness, and that's really part of the reason why I call my podcast Words of Wellness, because I wanted it to be all encompassing. And I know, in talking with and lecturing to students through all of the years about health and about wellness and, as you know, there's so many different components and I think that we still sometimes get caught up in when we hear someone is healthy, we focus right away to the physical part. I feel like then knowing that that's important, right, but we don't always go into the mental aspect or the emotional or the spiritual and all of those different components that really make up the whole holistic wellness. It's great that you're doing that. You're focusing on the whole body.
Speaker 2:Really, it sounds like it's easy to get caught up in just one segment in one area. Easy to get caught up in just one segment in one area, and I used to tell my students. I'd say you know, focus, think about the different areas that you're strong in. What do you have a strength in? It could be the exercise, it could be your social life. Maybe you want to focus now a little time on your, maybe your, mental health. Whatever it is right. I just feel like anyone to ever think that, oh gosh, I'm not doing well in these different areas of wellness. And that's not even the point. The point is just to become aware and then right, right and take time to, to improve upon wherever you might need to, to focus a little more time and energy on, and it's a, it's a journey more time and energy on and it's a, it's a journey, right, wouldn't you say Absolutely?
Speaker 1:Because you know, like for my health coaching, that I do my health coaching practice. That's one of the first things that people come to me for nutrition and weight loss and whatever, especially right now with social media. You know there's so much crazy. You know there's so much crazy. You know unrealistic expectations and quick fixes and, as you know, it just drives me nuts. But you know, during their assessment, you know we go through the pillars of wellness which, like you said, it's the mental, it's the social, it's the relationship, it's the financial, you know the nutrition, the movement. So there's more to wellness than just bodies and looks and nutrition Absolutely so important.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it really is, and I think that just really emphasizing that, and I think it's gotten better and I feel like you know, I know I've heard this and even my own daughter had said it at one point where you know we we go to the doctor for our physical checkups and to have a physical done, why are we not regularly going to the doctor? That helps with the mental part, right Like it's not, there should be, not even like any stigma attached, but for so many years there was. But I feel like that's gotten better, there's more, it's more openly talked about and more awareness.
Speaker 1:I feel like there's more awareness, right yeah absolutely Good way to put it.
Speaker 2:Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1:And I think you're absolutely right. Just like health is health, Mental health is health right?
Speaker 2:Yes, for sure. So what do you do for your own personal wellness, your personal routine, with your busy schedule and coaching and all of the things that you do? What do you do for yourself on a regular basis?
Speaker 1:You know I think it's really important to you. Know, as I coach clients and I'm sure you can relate to that you know I have to practice what I preach and I think it's. It can be hard, you know. I know there's coaches, there's trainers that you know. We live in a very busy world and I think it's important to again to practice what we preach and life can be overwhelming, I think. But you know, for myself, I I'm coaching or when I'm training, because I also own a fitness studio. You know I do my workouts but it's never about me, you know. So, although I'm sweating a little bit, it's not about me. So I have to make sure I get my own workouts. You know I go and do my own thing so I can focus on me, my time.
Speaker 1:I love walking. It's one of my things I do. I always that's one of my things that I do. I say one mile a day, you know, but I do every day, rain or shine, because I actually did the 75 hard recently, but I've kept it a habit and walking is really good for me. I use that time for meditation, or walking, meditation or prayer, and that's how I get also really creative. I feel like when I'm moving my body, I move my energy, I move my energy, I move my thought and I get those creative ideas.
Speaker 1:But walking is another thing. Gratitude and prayer, you know really focusing on our blessings, especially with the world that we live in right now. You know just gratitude and making sure I do something. Whatever that is and it can change every day by day but something that brings me joy. You know it could be whatever it is. You know it could be just calling a friend, talking to a friend I love, you know, hanging out with my friends, with my daughters, with my kids, with my family, hugging my dog. It could be shopping, it could be just doing whatever it is. Or traveling. I love traveling, I love hiking. Hiking is a big thing for me. Nature is a huge thing for me. Nature makes me happy, it's like my therapy. And then I do have a therapist. You know therapist is good. You know I sometimes you need somebody to talk to you that is not related or connected to you and it's, I think it's important, you know, for our own well being.
Speaker 2:For sure. Oh my gosh, that's so perfect. I love that we are like one in the same. All of the all of your, the things you're listing. I'm like, oh yeah, me too, Me too.
Speaker 2:Yes absolutely Exactly the same way when it comes to going for a walk, going running. That's when the ideas come and and it's so, so true. It just kind of there's something that it's clears your mind a little bit and just gives you that break. And, like you say, you know we need to take breaks from this busy world that we are, that we are surrounded by um, that we were in.
Speaker 2:And the walking is such a great, great way to just not only get exercise but just to clear, clear our minds and be out in nature and take that time to, to just have that alone. Quiet time is so important.
Speaker 1:And get busy, like you know. You know it gets busy, but you just got to make some time. You know I tell people it's like it's not an option. You have to make some time to take care of yourself. You know we all get busy, we all have jobs, we all have you know things that we have to do, responsibilities, but your health is your wealth and if you're not, okay, nothing's going to be okay.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent. Yep, a hundred percent. So going back and that's just that is so spot on. I wanted to back up for a minute because I want to give you kudos for completing 75 hard, because I've known for a long time people that do that. I'm like way to go. I don't, I've never attempted it because I'm not sure that I want to even try, but for our listeners who maybe are not familiar with 75 Hard, can you share just a little bit about what it entails?
Speaker 1:Yeah, actually this is my second time and a half. The first time I did it was actually during pandemic. I needed something to focus on because you know, I'm like I just need to stay focused because I'm not sure what's going to happen. So that really kept me and I also got really good into shape. So that's good.
Speaker 1:But 75 hard is it's two workouts every single day for 45 minutes. One is has to be outside, so it could be walking. It could be walking your dog, whatever riding your bike in your backyard doing yoga. It has to be outside. And the other one could be any type of workout. So I do coach and I do teach at my fitness studio. So the days that I'm here, obviously it's my, my second workout, If not.
Speaker 1:I'm lifting, because I try to lift a minimum of three days a week and then you have to read 10 pages a day of a book. You know I like reading my devotional. You know my Jesus time. I used it as my. You know my reading time. And then also following a diet, whatever that means to you For me.
Speaker 1:I just focused on eating good quality foods, actually making sure I'm eating enough, making sure I'm more aware on my protein intake. So I focus on just my macros and, you know, focusing on eating good foods, because it's easy just to fall off the wagon sometimes and then no alcohol for for the 75 days and practicing, well, no gratitude is on the second one. But yeah, I think that is it, you know. And then you just repeat it and if you fail you got to start all over. And so I did the first one, I tried to do it the second time and I did fail. And then I just it just wasn't the right time for me.
Speaker 1:And then, this time that I did it, I just felt like I needed to take care of myself. I'm like I had to check in with myself and I'm like I need to commit to something, you know, where I can just focus on and and I had a few clients that also did 75 hard, but I was, you know, I had a little compassion with myself. You know I juggling a lot of things, but I was able to to finish it. I didn't think it was that hard. A lot of the things I'm doing already. Anyways, I guess the most important thing is just being aware of why I'm doing this and making sure, you know also, I used it because I was finishing a course. So I'm like this is good because it'll keep me accountable to finish studying what I started, you know. So it's a good thing. It's really. I don't think it's that hard unless you're really not used to exercising, but I do recommend it.
Speaker 2:Like you say, you know, it gives you focus and for some people I think it can help them kind of kickstart where they need to or want to be. And I just always have heard that 75 days, even though that's not a ton of time I've always heard that. And then when I hear people that, oh, I have to start over, I'm like, oh, you poor thing, yeah, but there's all kinds of versions yeah. There's all kinds of versions now people, you know.
Speaker 1:But I do have the original one, which is created by Andy Frisella. There's a book about it. It's actually here somewhere, you know, and there's an app to it and everything. I didn't get that crazy this time, you know. I didn't download the app. I know what to do. I just really focus again. This whole 75 that I did was to focus on me making sure I'm eating and practicing what I preach right, which I do all the time. But I just needed a little bit more to take care of myself and that's why I did it.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I love that and that's the thing too, is like just taking the time for you and knowing that you wanted to refocus a bit more on you and your own personal health and journey. And I think it's true, you know, if you're, if you're already in the mode of it and doing the things, it's not as challenging. But also, like you're saying, this is something that I tend to do too is is making it work for for you and what your personal goal might be, to make it really strict, or maybe you doesn't have to be as strict and you kind of bring in some of the components of it. I just I've always been more of the kind of making it work for each person and and I've never been like the all or nothing, I've never been one to, you know, encourage, restricting certain things, you know, within reason, and maybe there's a time and place and certain people have to.
Speaker 2:But when I see people like it's kind of that, that all or nothing mentality, I think, gosh, I, you know it doesn't. It doesn't have to be that way, cause I'm always that proponent of there's. You know you want to enjoy your life at the same time, right, so, factoring in, what does that look like and again, people are different whatever that looks like. But I guess I've looked at the 75 hard where it feels like it's all in and if you mess up you're out and I'm like, oh, that feels like too much.
Speaker 1:But you know, like I tell people, it's unique. I mean it might seem super hard, but really I mean the two workouts one of them could be walking your dog, I mean really riding your bike, you can be outside doing some stretching, right. And then the eating it shouldn't be restricted, I mean, unless you're doing a bodybuilding competition, but which I've done that before. But you know, I don't, I don't really coach like that. Everybody, like you said, we're bio individual. So what works for me is different from what works for you.
Speaker 1:But you know, for me it's just, you know, eating the rainbow, making sure I'm eating enough, making sure I'm eating my protein, drinking your water, that's the other one. Drink your water. You know, that was probably my hardest because I just had to drink one gallon a day. That was probably my hardest because I just had to drink one gallon a day. And I do drink water, but when it's cold, when it's winter, I tend to not drink. I could drink a little bit more tea and coffee, but so that was more. Again, just being more aware of what I'm doing, and I didn't think it was really that hard, because the diet is whatever diet you want to do, you know, and it shouldn't be hard, it shouldn't be, it should be just good foods.
Speaker 2:Well, that's it Making good, good, healthy food choices. Well, I love that. And the water aspect is important too, and I'm kind of with you when it gets cold outside it is a little bit harder to drink cold water, but it's definitely important and a part of that and it should be, of course, a part of everybody's daily wellness routine is getting in enough waters.
Speaker 2:Enough, I wanted to say fluids, and I said waters. But getting in enough fluids, getting enough water specifically, what? Do you have any other tips that you can think of offhand that would be beneficial for our listeners, Because I love this. I haven't had as many individuals on the podcast yet talking about fitness, and so you know it's great to have you on, and I think that for anyone wanting to incorporate more fitness into their routine, do you have any specific recommendations that you you give people for that Number?
Speaker 1:one just start. You know, we all start as beginners. It's never, never, too late and and I do really, you know, try to tell people, my clients, and then you know, my community is like, okay, number one. I do this, you know, for my mental health, that it really that's how it kind of started. But now I focus, like we should focus, on longevity. You know, we all are going to get up there.
Speaker 1:Our aging process starts about 30, 35 years old. We start developing what's called sarcopenia, which means we lose three to five pounds every, you know, decade of muscle If we don't use it. It is preventable and it is reversible, you know, it just takes a little bit of strength training, a little bit of workout, a little bit of activity and you know it's going to benefit you for the rest of your life. I also work with seniors. I work with seniors. I have one of my clients, he's 103. And when you see people at these places I have a 70 year old and a 70 year old and you can totally see the quality of life, oh, and it's like wow, you know, and I wish everybody could see that picture, because if people really, you know, can see that, they would really get inspired, you know, on, okay, I need to start moving now, before it's too late, because the number one cause of injury related death in the United States is falls.
Speaker 1:You know, and that's one of the one of my reasons I do this these little classes for seniors that was my job is to help prevent falls, and they do that because they lose a muscle. They don't have that. If they can prevent it now and not wait till they can't get up or stand up or get off the toilet, like that should inspire people, right? So I guess, on your question is like just start wherever you're at, and fitness motivation is a mindset Like we're all going to lose motivation. We start strong and we lose it along the way, but consistency is going to set you apart. You know, finding your why.
Speaker 2:For sure. Well, and I think you, like you said, your health is your wealth and I firmly believe that and I will say that always, and it's also going back to what you said as far as longevity I talk about this so often as well that you know we want to be here, we want to be here for a long time, but we want to have a quality of life and feel good. So if we're here, like your client, 100 plus years, but you're, you know you're not feeling good, it's, it's gotta be that quality of life and that's just what I hope for and I pray for all the time is that you know we're here for many more years to come, but we're, we're here, feeling good and living life and having that energy and vitality into the later years and doing what you're sharing and working with your clients and teaching is such a huge part of it. The, the strength training, like you're saying. I used to tell my students that all the time that that is one of the most important things, because you know, talking about the risk of falling, like you said, I mean, that's that's one of the biggest things.
Speaker 2:As we get older is that the chance of falling increases. And then if we do fall the, the chance of getting injured seriously increases, I think, exponentially if we haven't been taking care, like you're saying, we haven't been doing that strength training and and I really I stress that too it's just so, so important. Well, this has been great, rosie. I really, I stress that too it's just so, so important. Well, this has been great, rosie.
