In today’s fast-paced world, it’s so easy to get caught up in the rush to do, be and achieve more. You’re running errands, attending meetings or squeezing in that workout, ending the day feeling like it was all a blur. But what if the secret to improving your health was really to slow down?

5 Hacks to Simplify Nutrition
Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler you keep it, the easier it is to make healthy choices that fit into your lifestyle. Here are five practical tips to help you stay on track and make better food choices without overthinking it.
Soul Power
Living your best self requires understanding the mind-body-spirit connection. Your body is a physical presence and your mind controls how your body moves and functions. We teach a lot about fitness and nutritional habits to support your physical health. Your mind also controls how you think, which is a powerful force.
Uncovering Your Motivation
One of the biggest obstacles we face on our health and fitness journey is motivation. It’s constantly shifting: some days you’ll feel unstoppable, like you’re on top of the world, and other days you’ll feel completely drained and question why you ever set such ambitious goals in the first place. When those low moments hit, it’s crucial to remember two things: 1) it’s a temporary feeling, and 2) you need to ground yourself in a deeper why – a reason that can anchor you when motivation fails.
Follow Your Heart
Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is one of Europe’s most influential doctors with more than two decades of treating patients as a General Practitioner in the UK. In addition to hosting a successful podcast and widely viewed TED Talk, he has authored 5 Sunday Times bestsellers including The 4 Pillar Plan where he explains that simple small changes can have significant impact on health and happiness. At @Well, we couldn’t agree more! Chatterjee believes there are 4 focus areas that are as important to your health as any medication and encourages his patients to choose one area to begin improving their health and happiness: Food, Sleep, Movement, Relaxation.

Let Them 2.0
Mel Robbins is brilliant! Her white hot book, The Let Them Theory is a game changer. She has discovered a simple truth, based upon ancient philosophies and offers tools and practical advice that will change your life and improve your health and your relationships with others.
Breaking Free from Comparison: Embrace Your Own Unique Movement Journey
One of the greatest downfalls of social media today is the obsession with comparison. We do it consciously and unconsciously, constantly measuring every detail of our lives against what we see on our screens - whether it's home decor, the food we eat, our hobbies, interests, or family traditions. It's as if we’re all striving to be carbon copies of one another. But let’s be real…what kind of boring world would that be?
10 Steps to Healing: My PCOS Journey
I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2024. I had done enough research beforehand to suspect this might be the case, but hearing it from my doctor still hit me like a ton of bricks. Within minutes of our first meeting, after reviewing my bloodwork, she handed me a sheet with "PCOS" written across the top. I knew things were about to change.
Lessons from a Peanut Butter Lover
These days, as I turn each new jar of healthy peanut butter upside down, I’m reminded that unity and perspective are choices. Every day, I choose to envision a better world—a world where we blend our differences into something that works for everyone. It’s not always easy, but it’s possible. And sometimes, all it takes is a little shift in perspective—just like with that jar of peanut butter.
So the next time you grab a jar, remember: we all have the power to stir things up and make something better. Whether it’s in the jar, or in the world around us, the choice to blend our differences into something good is ours to make. It’s that simple.
THERE’S A TIME FOR IT.
I was thumbing through my bible in the early morning hours this week and was prompted by my daily devotional to spend some time in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3. The chapter opens with, “To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
CRAFTING A SIMPLE EXERCISE ROUTINE.
At my age, I’ve tried it all. And what I’ve learned is that moving your body is a key part of wellness — but it’s not the whole picture. Exercise doesn’t have to be HARD to be effective. The last four years have been a transformation for me. I’ve peeled back the layers of diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, hormone health, and an underlying medical condition to truly figure out what works. Now, my exercise routine is SIMPLE.
I’m Sober-Curious. Here’s What I’ve Learned So Far.
So here I am: 30 years old and sober-curious. Have you heard this term? It’s the cool, new-age way of saying, “I’m interested in seeing what life is like without alcohol,” but without fully declaring yourself sober. (At least, that’s my take on it.) Today marks 39 days of being sober-curious for me, and I thought it’d be the perfect time to reflect on what this journey has been like so far.
