Ways I’m Prioritizing My Health

Since turning 40 my health has become even more of a priority. Here are some ways I’m prioritizing my health this year. Affiliate links included. 40 was a turning point I don’t know if it was something physical or just the psychological effect of crossing “over the hill,” but within the last year, I’ve really started to want to optimize my health in a more deliberate way. I think this is common for people around my age, who might be done having kids and are well into their adulting years. I’ve listened to a lot of Jenna Kutcher’s health story on her podcast, and much of what she has said resonates with me.  When I was younger, I felt like the glass was half full. It appeared that real food, movement, and fresh air were all I needed to sustain good health. But now that I’m feeling my body age, I feel the need to help it along the way. Enter: a few more supplements, tools, and routines to achieve that goal. You’ve seen the memes about sleep as you age: In your 20s y...

Ep210: Finding the Balance Between More and Less with Ulcerative Colitis

In this episode, Tina shares her personal experience of finding balance between “more” and “less” while navigating the challenges of ulcerative colitis. Over the years, she sought natural healing methods—everything from functional testing and protocols to extreme diets and supplements—in the pursuit of remission. While her quest for healing seemed like the right path, Tina found herself feeling more and more hopeless and disappointed. She shares details about this emotional rollercoaster—constantly seeking, doing more, and trying so many different approaches— and how she eventually realized that the reason she continued to struggle for so long was because she didn’t fully trust herself or her body, which led to an endless cycle of searching for new solutions. Tina discusses: – Her personal journey with accepting a chronic disease – Constantly searching for solutions and its emotional impact – The harmful effects of restrictive diets – The importance of nourishing the body for he...

Get 20% off with the code KATHEATS20 and my affiliate link this week only! Offer good through 1/30. I have had my eye on the HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket for years now. I kept convincing myself we didn’t need one at home because we have access to a steam sauna at our gym. Thomas and I are both sauna people who love a good sweat and love using our gym sauna all year long (definitely more in the winter). So I’ve had some interest in getting a home sauna for a while, but I kept convincing myself that being able to use the gym steam sauna a few times a week was “good enough.” But what finally sold me on the HigherDOSE sauna blanket was listening to the HigherDOSE founders, Lauren and Katie, on the Goal Digger podcast . I knew I would love the warmth of a sauna at home, but I didn’t realize there were so many benefits o...
