Your First Step To a Healthier, Happier You ( Even As a Busy Mom )
Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of getting healthy? One of our team member shares how she keeps things simple - from seeing food as a medicine to making small, consistent choices that reduce stress and boost energy.
For many moms, health often ends up at the bottom of the priority list. Between school drop - offs, work deadlines, and the never- ending to-do list, it can feel impossible to carve out time for yourself. But as Jessica, a mom of two and one of our most valued team members, reminds us - taking care of your health doesn’t have to be complicated. It just starts with one step.
Jessica’s Journey to a Healthier Life
When asked if she’s always been health conscious, Jessica shared that her commitment started in her 20’s:
“ My dad was my biggest influence and moving to Califor5nia exposed me to a completely different culture around health.”
Today, Jessica prioritizes eating clean - lots of vegetables, fruits, and fresh ingredients- something she didn’t grow up with.
“Growing up, I mostly had canned vegetables. Now, I stick to fresh and raw veggies, avoid red meat and pork, and keep fried food to a minimum.”
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”.
Simple, Realistic Tips For Busy Moms
Jessica knows firsthand how hard it is to juggle motherhood and self-care, which is why her advice is refreshingly doable:
Start Small: “ Pick one day a week to meal prep. Go for a walk. Take the stairs. “
Just Move: “ Walking is one of the easiest, most effective first steps toward feeling better.”
Stay Hydrated : Water is one of the simplest forms of self- care, but it makes a big difference. You can put a bit of lemon juice or mint for bit more flavor.”
Health as a Way of Life
For Jessica, health isn’t just about looking good - It is about feeling strong and giving her kids the tools to thrive:
“I see food as medicine” she explains, “ What we eat affects how we feel - our energy , our mood, even our stress levels.”
For Jessica, It’[s about finding balance and making small, consistent choices that keep her feeling her best.
