I’m no doctor so these are merely suggestions. Be sure to ask your health care provider about diet, exercise, and the use of certain products. At some point in my life most of these items have been useful to me. I’ve also listed a couple of items my friends swear by.
Just like you, I continue to work hard on being healthier and more mindful, but I’m a work in progress. I need books, apps and other people to help keep me on track. I think we often neglect ourselves, but you need to remember you only have one body and once it’s damaged, sometimes, it’s hard to restore it back to the way it was.
I have several podcast interviews discussing health and wellness. To see my curated list head on over to my YouTube page.

Lifesum // App
I use this app daily to track my food and calorie intake. Since I have a sensitive stomach, I like to identify the root cause of any issues that arise. I love the app’s design and find it very user-friendly. It also includes recipes for those interested. in that kind of thing.
Autosleep // App
One of my top three health priorities is sleep, right after diet. Getting enough sleep every night is crucial for both your brain and body to function properly. Even though I have an Apple Watch and use its sleep app, I still choose to pay for this one because I love it so much.
Plop // App
This may be a bit too much information, but I’ve found that discussing uncomfortable topics can help improve someone’s life. This app is fantastic for anyone who has experienced digestive issues and needs to track their symptoms closely to ensure their body is functioning properly. It’s user-friendly and even alerts you when patterns emerge.
Withings // App
This company offers a variety of products that monitor your health. I specifically use this app because I have their blood pressure cuff. I believe it’s important to monitor your blood pressure, especially as you get older. Currently, I don’t have any issues, but I want to avoid the need for medication. By tracking trends, I can report any anomalies to my doctor and take proactive steps if necessary, which feels like a win. The app is intuitive and incredibly helpful, and the blood pressure cuff I own works great.
Couch to 5K // App
I’m no runner…at all. However, I have friends who’ve used this app successfully. This is great for beginners.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
I love this stuff! I have slight eczema, not a severe case. If I don’t put on the right lotion I will get ashy and itchy. I’ve used this lotion since high school and it’s perfect for my skin type, dry. Thank goodness a friends mom recommended it all those years ago. For my hands I carry their 3 ounce bottle (it’s always in my purse).
Tea Tree Oil
As I got older, I became really interested in using oils for my skin. When I was younger, I thought oils would cause breakouts, but I discovered they actually help my skin. I use them to control acne, and I always mix them with my favorite oil or lotion to prevent irritation. This approach helped me completely stop taking prescription medication for acne. Additionally, I make sure to exfoliate lightly every day.
Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is renowned for its anti-aging properties, and as I age, I want to slow down the aging process as much as possible. I apply this oil to my face along with a small dab of tea tree oil for added benefits. My favorite is the certified organic rosehip oil from Trilogy, which I have been using for years.
Olay Regenerist SPF 25
Over the years, I have tried various face lotions, but Olay works best for me. In particular, I use Olay Regenerist along with the Olay night cream. I’ve experimented with different formulas at various stages of my life, and they have all been effective. I haven’t found anything that works better, especially since I prefer products that are lightweight on my skin. I also appreciate that they offer an SPF version that isn’t heavy.
At night, I use this cleanser on my face. It’s gentle and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I don’t wear any makeup, so I can’t comment on how well it removes makeup. However, I can say that this formula has been excellent for my acne-prone skin.
Jen Jones
I’ve been following Jen for a while now, and I really love her juicer recipes and tips on eating cleaner. She truly is the plant-based queen. Although I enjoy meat, I try not to make it the main focus of my diet, so her advice has been really helpful.
