Healthy Living Insights: Your Guide to Wellness, Nutrition, and Self-Care
Why Walking IS Exercise (And Why It’s Amazing for You)
In the age of social media, fitness influencers and podcast gurus love to debate what "counts" as exercise. One particularly frustrating claim making the rounds? That walking isn’t real exercise.
Let’s set the record straight: walking is absolutely a form of exercise—and one of the best ones at that.
🚫 Stuck in the Sugar Loop? Let’s Talk Insulin Resistance (and How to Kick It to the Curb)
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—cutting carbs, sweating through workouts, saying no to dessert (okay, most of the time)... and still, the scale won’t budge?
If this sounds like you, friend, you might be dealing with insulin resistance—a super common but super sneaky condition that can make weight loss feel nearly impossible.
Confused by Wellness Advice? You’re Not Alone (And Here’s What to Do About It)
These days, it feels like everyone and their Instagram-famous cousin is a “wellness expert,” doesn’t it?
One person tells you to only eat plants. Another swears by eating only meat. Oats? “TOXIC!” they scream. Seed oils? “Worse than your ex!”
Honestly, it’s exhausting. No wonder you feel like throwing your hands up and ordering fries (and honestly, no shame in that either).
No One Tells You This About Vitamins… But I Will!
Ever feel like you're doing everything right with your supplements, but they're just not working like they should? Well, turns out vitamins have besties—yes, they’re basically high-maintenance friendships in pill form. And if you don’t pair them up correctly, they might just ghost you.
What Story Do You Keep Sharing?
Let’s be honest—everyone has that story they tell over and over again. You know, the one where you were wronged, betrayed, ignored, overlooked, underestimated, dumped, fired, or left on read (the audacity!). Maybe it’s your go-to at parties, or the one you share when you need validation. Maybe it’s even the one you replay in your head when you’re trying to fall asleep (which, by the way, is a terrible bedtime story).
But here’s the thing—what if that story is actually holding you back?
What Does It Truly Mean to Nourish Yourself?
When you hear the word "nourishment," what comes to mind? For most people, it's food—greens, proteins, healthy fats, and all that good stuff. But nourishment is so much more than what you put on your plate. It’s about the way you fuel every aspect of your life: your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. True nourishment goes beyond food—it’s in your environment, your relationships, your daily habits, and even the books you read!
If you’ve ever felt drained despite eating well, it may be time to expand your definition of nourishment. Let’s dive into what it really means to nourish yourself in a whole-health way and how you can start filling your cup in every area of life.
Healing Your Wounds: Health, Relationships, Money, and the Messy Stuff in Between
Let’s be real—life can feel like a never-ending episode of a reality show where we’re the main character, trying to juggle health, relationships, money, and whatever other chaos the universe throws our way. And sometimes, it’s less "thriving wellness guru" and more "why is my bank account allergic to money?" or "why do I always date emotionally unavailable people?"
But here’s the thing: Healing our wounds around these issues isn’t just about feeling better in the moment—it’s about creating lasting freedom, joy, and abundance in our lives. When we don’t heal, we repeat the same patterns, like a bad sequel that no one asked for.
How’s Your Relationship With Food? And More Importantly, How’s Your Relationship With Yourself?
Let’s be real: Losing weight isn’t rocket science. You learn what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. Easy, right?
Except... it’s not.
Because if it were that easy, nobody would be yo-yo dieting, stress-snacking, or staring at an empty bag of chips wondering how it disappeared so fast.
See, the nutrition part of weight loss is the easy part. But the mental and emotional part? That’s where things get tricky. And let’s be honest—that’s where most of us get stuck.
Why I Write About More Than Just Gut Health (And Why You Should Care)
Let’s address the probiotic-packed elephant in the room: I talk A LOT about gut health. But then, I also talk about self-care, self-love, stress management, burnout, emotional healing, and why you should absolutely NOT ignore that little voice in your head telling you to take a nap. So what gives?
Give Yourself Permission to Start Over – And Actually Enjoy It!
Have you ever found yourself saying yes to everyone else before even considering what you actually want? If so, it’s time for a little intervention (a kind and gentle one, don’t worry). Before you jump up to answer the next email, phone call, or group chat notification, pause for a second. Take a breath. Ask yourself: What do I want? Because, believe it or not, your own dreams and goals deserve just as much attention as everyone else’s demands.
