One of the most powerful shifts in my gut healing journey had nothing to do with food or supplements. It was about slowing down—on purpose. I left my fast-paced job and started to: • Chew slowly • Breathe before meals • Prioritize sleep • Walk instead of over-exercising • Treat rest as essential, not a luxury Your gut is your second brain—and it can’t heal in a constant state of stress. #GutHealth #LifestyleChanges #MindfulEating #StressReduction #GentleExercise #WellnessJourney #HealthyLiving #SelfCare #DigestiveHealth #HolisticHealth

What if feeling better started with the basics? Not supplements. Not extremes. Just five small, doable things — every day. Here’s what I tell every woman who asks: Eat mostly whole foods. Prioritize sleep. Move your body — gently and daily. Take short breaks to stretch or squat. Check your labs so you know what your body needs. #HealthTips #WellnessJourney #HealthyLifestyle #WholeFoods #SleepPriorities #DailyMovement #SimpleExercises #DoctorConsultation #BodyNeeds #HealthTips #FitnessMotivation

Did you know 72% of Americans search for health info online — but most don’t fact-check what they find?

You’ve seen the labels: “All-natural,” “clean,” “green.” But what do they really mean? In this short clip from The Natalie Tysdal Podcast, I break down a crucial truth: just because something is labeled “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe — or beneficial. As a journalist, I’ve spent years cutting through hype to get to the facts. In this episode, we talk about: The misuse of the word “natural” in marketing Why real research still matters How to become a more informed consumer #NaturalVsSynthetic #TruthInLabeling #ProductResearch #FactChecking #JournalismTruth #MisleadingMarketing #ConsumerAwareness #InformedChoices #NaturalProducts #BeInformed

Both. It’s called an infodemic — and it’s changing how we access health info every day.
