Any guesses what our listeners voted as their #1 goal for 2021? Improving their health—both physical and mental. 

It’s true what they say: “If you’ve got your health, you’ve got just about everything.” But it’s been harder than ever to take control of our health over the past year (71% of you said the pandemic has negatively affected your health, while 62% are working to improve their mental health right now).

So, today we’re diving into eight totally doable ways to feel healthier, starting with the four pillars of good health: Sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and stress management. 

Obviously, while we love watching them on TV, we’re not doctors (sorry mom and dad!) or health experts, so please always consult with your doctor before making any big changes, and never rely on Google (or podcasts) to diagnose yourself. We’re really passionate about making this year the one where we truly prioritize our health, so we’re sharing all of the research and info we’ve gathered to help make small, healthy changes.

Let’s make this the year of you. Listen in to learn more about: 

• The crucial reasons you need to prioritize sleep, and how to get more
• All the wild ways drinking more water can change your life 
• Why we’re advocates for shutting down diet culture and learning what *your specific body* needs from food
• The big role gut health plays in your overall health 
• The power of walking and exercising for pleasure, not punishment
• Why sitting is the worst and how micro-exercise can combat that
• How to get help when your mental health is suffering 
• The power of a mental health toolbox 
• Why vitamins can be a key factor in your wellness
• The appointments you *should* be booking every year
