Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: What’s On Your Plate? I’m moving a little slower than usual this week thanks to a nasty, nasty sciatica flare-up. It’s also why this email is reaching your inbox a little later than usual. For the past two weeks, I’ve had to hand off more than I normally would.

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: The Tool Is Not the Plan I hope you’re having a wonderful week! There are more tools available to support our health than ever before. Medications. Supplements. Detoxes. Protein powders. Apps. Meal plans. Wearable devices. Some of these tools can be incredibly helpful. They may help us feel better, create momentum, or make a difficult goal feel more manageable. But a tool still needs a purpose. This week, we are talking about GLP-1 medications,...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: Making Space for Life's Transitions I hope you're having a wonderful week. I had something completely different planned for today's Wellness Wednesday. Then I learned that Hayden Panettiere had died at 36. We're only about a year apart in age, and as someone who grew up watching her, her passing sparked some reflections I wasn't expecting. I don't want to speculate about how she died. Instead, I want to share where those thoughts led me. Inside...
