If you have chronic illness you know exactly what a “spoonie” is. If you are reading this & wondering what the heck is a “spoonie”? I don't blame you, I didn't either… until I became one. (But don't go anywhere this list is for you too because it's a Self Care list for anyone.) “Spoons” are how people with chronic illness rate their energy levels from day to day. Everyone- chronically ill, or not- has a set number of spoons to get through the day. Let's say 20. Every task you do uses energy, aka spoons. Sometimes getting out of bed, changing your clothes, & brushing your teeth may take 5 spoons, other days might be 2, we never know from day to day how much simple tasks will take from us. When we run out of spoons we quite literally crash. This is where & when learning & knowing about Self Care is important. Self Care, also allows you to take care of those around you. You are not lazy or selfish. You are surviving.
Your health is your greatest asset, and investing in it brings lifelong returns. From nourishing your body with the right foods to prioritizing mental well-being, small daily habits can lead to a stronger, happier you. This list is your guide to essentials that support a balanced, vibrant lifestyle—because when you feel good, you thrive! 💖💪 Ready to elevate your wellness journey? Let’s dive in! 🚀

Insomnia is super common for people with chonic illness conditions, and I've been an insomniac my whole life. I've found a few things that legitimately help me, though! I just wish I'd found them sooner.
I used to have to lie down 3 times a day in all my 20s due to back pain. Especially low back pain. Nothing was able to fix it until I found what I recommend below. This is not sponsored. I found the book, took the classes in 2019, and since then, I have made changes in my lifestyle that made the pain go away for good. Now, I only have some neck pain when I forget to keep my good posture when working all day on my computer.

Perimenopause starts earlier than you think and lasts longer than you want to know. It will make you sweat at night, get overheated for no reason, gain weight that refuses to come off and struggle to sleep. If you have any symptoms that started mysteriously and you're older than 40 (and sometimes even younger), there's a good chance it's menopause-related (ever had vertigo?)! Here are some things that have helped me along my perimenopause coping journey. Get comfortable, it's going to be about ten years.
I suffered with vitiligo an autoimmune illness and super painful periods I have been slowly reversing these naturally. 3 years ago it led me to drastically change my diet and lifestyle while I was a broke university student. I reduced my drinking and made this healthy lifestyle changes!
Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!
I love supplements! I have been seeing a holistic osteopath since I was a child - when it was still taboo. Initially mainstream medicine had me on 20 pills a day to combat autoimmune digestive issues. Just by switching doctors, he proved to me that my body could function with a supplement program curated for my needs/size.
I have been on a weight loss journey and I could talk about healthy recipes and healthy finds for hours! I love sharing these finds because I know it will truly help a lot of people reach their goals!

As someone who is in her 60s I pay a lot more attention to my self-care. I can remember waking up the day I turned 40 and wondering why my vision was getting so blurry! Of course I look back and laugh now because that was my first sign that the aging process had started to kick off. Today, I know that even the little things like a pain in my hip can't be ignored. Btw - I no longer suffer from blurry vision after having cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Don't laugh 😂 One day you will understand and even if that day has come for your too, hopefully you will get inspired by some of my self-care routines.

being in the medicinal field myself (i'm studying pharmacy!) i'm aware that the heart, brain, and kidneys are essentially the top vital organs of your body, but how many of us actually care for them? Whenever we think of health, we think weight loss, exercise, diet, but who are we doing this for? i mean for ourselves, yes ofc! but for these organs to function properly! here are some great resources and supplements that will help prevent disease and keep these vitals healthy! keep in mind that it's never recommended to take too many supplements, you should either take them on a priority basis (targeting a health concern or health priority) OR make sure you've checked for interactions while taking multiple supplements to avoid any adverse events!

For the most part, I can honestly say that I'm in pretty decent shape for an old woman over 60. As a matter-of-fact, I've been taking Balance of Nature for over a year and I feel fantastic when I don't forget to take my pills for the day. Oddly enough, now that I'm 67, I sometimes feel better than I did when I first hit my 60's. At the time, I was experiencing more of the joint pain that I only occasionally feel nowadays. Maybe I'm so used to it, I don't really know it's there anymore. Whatever the case, I'm glad I only have my “old folks” aches and pains on an occasional basis. And THANK GOD, the carpal tunnel syndrome I used to suffer from, doesn't still bother me. The following list contains some of the many ways I used to combat the joint pain I felt in various parts of my body. I also share the item I sincerely believe helped to all but cure my carpal tunnel when I was in my 40's, even though like everything else, the pain returned periodically, when I was in my early 60's. These items can help people who aren't dealing with joint conditions that require them to be under a doctor's care. If that's the case, any medication or medical treatments and remedies should be approved by your physician.
There's nothing worse than when one of my chronic illnesses flare up. Generally, I just have to ride them out in bed. But these are all the things I use to survive.
Let me start by saying—I’m not a personal trainer, a doctor, or a health guru. I’m just someone who’s been trying (imperfectly, but intentionally) to eat better, feel better, and build healthier habits that actually fit into my real life. This list is a collection of items that have helped me along the way—whether it’s making mealtimes easier, adding a little joy to healthy routines, or simply keeping me motivated when I’d rather be elbow-deep in a bag of chips.
These aren’t miracle products or part of any “plan”—they’re just things that work for me, and maybe they’ll work for you too. No pressure, no perfection, just progress.
