Wellness incorporates much more than food and exercise. Just as some people are overly focused on a career to the detriment of family, so are others singularly centered on an eating plan or workout regime to the point of exclusion of other aspects of life. 
Here are some clues I listen for that might indicate an opportunity to reframe the situation in terms of character growth (ala Romans 8:28):
Dissonance
Your words don't fit your values, Christian worldview, etc. Is a leadership… 
At a coaches conference a few weeks ago we were doing an exercise about leadership. In answer to the question "How do I see myself?" the keynote, a coach herself said: "fraud." A room of one hundred coaches sat in stunned silence. Then she asked "who else?" Hands went up all over the room.....including mine. 
Women often find themselves hiding. Ever since Eve chose to eat the apple, mankind has been covering themselves up with the fig leafs. There are a lot of reasons.

Paul, one of my first coaching clients, engaged me to help him discover a sense of purpose in his life. Several months into the relationship, his teenage son was tragically killed in a car accident. That event completely changed Paul's focus and his sense of what was meaningful in life. Over the next year, we talked about issues like transparency, grieving, how to allow others to support you, who your real friends are, and much more.
When Paul was finally ready to reengage the life purpose question, nothing seemed to really motivate him.
