Chapter 23: The Life Manual for Healthy Living in your 20s

Let’s be real: sometimes our health is just not the number one priority on the list. Whether you’re binge drinking every weekend in college or stressed and losing sleep over your job, it’s not always easy to take care of your physical health in your 20s. 

Today we are lucky to have holistic health coach Meghan Swidler, AKA “That Wellness Gal,” share her tips on how to heal some of the most important areas of your body: the gut, skin, and hormones. 

Meghan is a bestselling author who wrote From Within, and as an expert in cleansing and detoxification, she guides individuals to live their healthiest lifestyles from the inside out. In this episode, she’ll provide some incredible insights, resources, and realistic steps that we can all take to better care for our bodies NOW, preventing issues in the future. 

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

• Pay attention to your symptoms. Your body is signaling to you what problems need to be fixed.
• Set times on your calendar to prioritize your health and eating. Maybe that includes grocery shopping on certain days and batch prepping meals. 
• Eat plant-based whole foods, sleep 7-9 hours a night, move your body, manage your nervous system, stay hydrated, and limit coffee and alcohol. 
• Implement cleansing modalities into your routines. This can include sweating, infrared sauna, cold immersion, red light therapy, and drinking fresh pressed juices. 
• Start by working on just one pillar of your health that feels realistic to you, rather than trying to tackle every problem at once. 
• Remember, it’s all about balance.
