What Your Favourite Netflix Shows Reveal About Your Health Habits

I’ve got a fun one for you today!

Ever notice how you can tell a lot about a person based on their favourite TV shows?
Whether you’re into crime thrillers, rom-coms, reality TV, or deep-dive documentaries, your Netflix queue might be saying more about your health habits than you think.

Sounds weird, right? But stick with me.

The way we engage with entertainment—how we binge-watch, how we relate to characters, and even the themes we gravitate toward—can reflect how we approach things like fitness, nutrition, and self-care.

Let’s break it down. Here’s what your favourite show says about your health habits:
➡️ The Binge-Watcher (Hello, Stranger Things, Bridgerton, or The Office Marathons!)

• You start one episode, and before you know it, the entire weekend has disappeared.
• Sound familiar? If you’re a binge-watcher, you might struggle with an all-or-nothing mentality when it comes to health, too.
• You go all in on a diet or workout plan—until you miss a day, then suddenly, you’re “off track” and waiting until Monday to start again.

✅ Shift your mindset: Instead of trying to overhaul everything at once, focus on small, sustainable changes. Consistency always beats intensity.

➡️ The Crime Junkie (If You Love True Crime & Psychological Thrillers)

• You’re obsessed with mystery, strategy, and uncovering why things happen. This probably means you overanalyse your own habits—maybe even to the point of paralysis by analysis.
• You read every health article, try to research the “perfect” diet or workout, and feel like you need all the information before taking action.

✅ Shift your mindset: You don’t need more research—you need execution. Instead of looking for the perfect plan, just start with small, consistent actions.

➡️ The Reality TV Addict (Hello, Love Is Blind, Real Housewives & The Bachelor)

• If you love drama and connection, you probably thrive in social settings—and that can be a huge strength when it comes to health and fitness.
• But here’s the catch: If your social life revolves around eating out, happy hours, and skipping workouts to hang with friends, it can throw you off track.

✅ Shift your mindset: Instead of letting social events derail you, find ways to blend health into your lifestyle - think workout dates, healthier restaurant choices, or accountability buddies.

➡️ The Self-Improvement Enthusiast (You Love Documentaries, TED Talks & Anything ‘Educational’)

• You’re always learning, always growing, and always striving to be better.
• But sometimes, you get stuck in the planning phase, constantly setting new goals without fully committing to one long enough to see results.

✅ Shift your mindset: Action creates clarity. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment to start, commit to imperfect progress.

Here’s the takeaway:
Your favourite shows might not dictate your health, but they can reveal your tendencies. Whether you’re an over-planner, an all-or-nothing thinker, or someone who thrives in social settings, the key is recognising your patterns—then using that awareness to build better habits.

So, the next time you hit “Next Episode,” ask yourself: Am I making choices that support my long-term goals?
