Wellness Made Simple with Angie George

This is my mom’s story. Not an overnight miracle. Not a promise. Just what I have personally watched unfold month after month. I've talked to my mom almost every morning since I left home at 18. Almost every morning. So when I tell you I knew how Mom was feeling, I mean I knew.

Years ago, I pretty much broke up with perfume. Not because I didn’t love it. Oh friend… I LOVE a beautiful fragrance. But so many traditional perfumes would leave me with a massive headache, and as I started learning more about ingredients, toxins, and what I was putting on my body every single day, perfume became one of those things I decided I could live without.

I remember when I was growing up, we always ate fermented foods. I’m honestly not sure anyone back then really knew why—lol—but maybe that’s why we stayed so healthy. We ate real food that nourished and healed our bodies. Fast forward to today, and everyone’s talking about the health benefits of fermented foods. 

This year, ticks are everywhere. And trust me when I say—they’re more than just annoying. They can change your life. My brother now lives with Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a condition caused by a tick bite that makes him allergic to red meat. It’s just one example of the serious and often overlooked consequences of a single bite.

Aging is an inevitable journey that comes with its own set of physical changes, making balance and core strength increasingly vital. These components are crucial as they not only aid in maintaining posture and stability but also support everyday movements, reducing the risk of falls and injuries. Emphasizing core and balance exercises early on is an invaluable investment in one’s future well-being.

When my husband Larry retired, he was mentally and physically exhausted. After 45 years at a desk job, his body felt the toll of a sedentary lifestyle. Adding to that, he had undergone extensive foot surgery, and the lingering aches made it difficult for him to stay active. At first, Larry watched from the sidelines as I coached others through the 14-Day Reset.

Ah, the seasonal allergy tango – where every sneeze feels like nature's standing ovation, and congestion turns your sinuses into a blocked-off expressway. But fret not, my fellow pollen-dodgers! There's a way out of this hay fever haze.Swap out the temporary fixes for a more holistic approach. 

Inflammation is a natural response of our body to injury or infection. But, thanks to our modern lifestyle, we now deal with chronic inflammation, which can lead to various health issues like autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and cognitive decline. One of the culprits behind this chronic inflammation is the consumption of seed oils, which are commonly found in processed foods 

Have you ever jumped into a brand-new diet or workout plan, only to feel burned out after two weeks? You’re not alone. After more than 13 years of helping people on their wellness journey, I’ve noticed something: we tend to overcomplicate health. We think it has to be a “crazy diet,” an intense workout routine, or a massive lifestyle overhaul. While all of those things can have benefits, most of the time they just leave us frustrated.

The time change can be exhausting, but with these six tips, you can make the transition smoother. Start adjusting your sleep schedule early by going to bed and waking up 15-30 minutes earlier each day. Be mindful of your caffeine intake, as it can disrupt your sleep schedule. Get as much sunlight as possible to help reset your body's clock and maintain energy levels. Stay active, and hydrated, and limit exposure to electronic devices, as blue light can disrupt sleep patterns. 

Through my years of working with women, I have observed a recurring issue: exhaustion and stress. Adrenal Fatigue is a legitimate and widespread problem. If you continually feel stressed, fatigued, or suffer from brain fog and mood swings, do not worry, there are ways to restore your health and vitality.
