Wellness Digest

While the holidays are meant to be joyful, relaxing, and carefree, it's actually often the time of year where our bodies are the MOST stressed out. With lots of social gatherings comes more energy exchange, less sleep, foods we don't normally eat, alcohol, etc. and even when spent with the most loved people in our lives, it can leave our bodies and minds depleted because it's just not how we live our lives the majority of the year! In this episode, we give our tips for having a balanced, guilt-free holiday season with lots of ways to give your body some extra support as needed so you can start the New Year off on the right foot in whatever way that looks like for you!

After being in the fitness industry for years, Illie (@healthillie) realized that counting her calories/macros, taking all the fitness supplements and playing into "everything in moderation" was no longer serving her. She was suffering from chronic migraines, hormonal acne, terrible bloating after every meal, heavy painful periods, eczema, you name it, and being ignored by doctors and specialists who told her that her blood work was normal and her diet was fine - we've been there once too! Illie felt like she hit a wall with her health, took matters into her own hands, and started doing her own research on ingredients and corruption within the food/fitness industries. What she found completely changed her outlook on health and led her to create a platform for exposing the ugly truths about how our food and everyday products are making us sick. She's now made it her life's mission to share this information with others so that we can all make informed decisions as consumers and take power back over our own health.  

You can shop Illie's store HERE where all of the products she sells have been vetted by Illie herself and held to high standards when it comes to what's actually clean and what's not.

OUR HEALING ROADMAP EPISODE

Intro & Outro Song: What Would You Do? Instrumental x HONNE ft. Pink Sweat$ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j3PAoNNfJg

POV: it's somewhere around Fall of 5th grade year, you just finished your first sex ed class, and you're scared to death. If you look at a boy, you'll get pregnant and your life will be over. When you get your period, everything will change and you'll never be the same again. 

Unfortunately, pretty much nothing we learned about our bodies as women, how they function, and how to take care of them came from sex ed. It wasn't until we were in our 20s that we truly understood how pregnancy works, what a healthy period is supposed to be like, and how our hormones actually function. Thus, we present to you - a Wellness Digest sex ed redo :)
