Phone at Eye level
Stop the “ tech neck” ! Hold your phone up to eye level instead of lo9oking down. Tip: If you spend a lot of time texting, take short breaks to roll your shoulders back and stretch your neck.
Desk Setup Check
Your computer screen should be at eye level, your feet flat on the floor, and your shoulders relaxed. Tip: place a pillow or lumbar support brhind your lower back if your chair doesn’t have built-in support.
The 30-30 Rule
Every 30 minute, stand up and stretch for 30 seconds. This keeps blood flowing and prevent stiffness. Tip: Set a reminder on your phone or watch to keep you accountable.
Sleep Smart
Choose a supportive pillow and avoid sleeping on your stomach, which can twist your neck. Back or side sleeping is best for spinal alignment.

Her health journey really leveled up when she discovered the power of exercise:
“ I found working out later in life , and it changed everything - I had more energy, more vitality , and felt so much clearer and focused”.
