wellness by Callie

Wellness is such a broad term. What does it mean to you? For me it means that my mind, body and life’s purpose is in alignment with my goals.

what causes my mind to be ‘well’ decreased stress and anxiety, I need to feel empowered to be myself.

my body is ‘well’ when I can do the things I want to do. Exercise, go to work, play with my children, have the energy to cook healthy meals and spend time with friends.

My life’s purpose. I have been in healthcare for 24 years. I knew at a young age that I wanted to work with people. Over the years, I see the struggle of my patients. Your health and what you need to know is very confusing and coming at you from every angle. “they’ make it seem so easy…. All you have to do is eat healthy, exercise 30 minutes a day, drink 60-80 oz of water and limit the bad- don’t drink alcohol, use tobacco or nicotine or drugs, no sugar, no process foods, limit red meat, etc. But if you see all the information out there on social media, it is hard to know what to do and what is evidence based. Not all health information you see on TikTok is backed by evidence. Research examine health content on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok has found substantial gaps in the use of scientific evidence.

That is why I created ‘Wellness by Callie’- to make health information easier to understand, and help you separate evidence-based information from opinions, trends and anecdotal advice.
