To simply health and healthy habits, its important to go back to the basics and begin with foundational, holistic habits. These habits are impactful and easy to implement. When we begin to support our bodies and their ability to heal, we begin to flourish.

Eat your last meal 2-3 hours before bed
Take magnesium before sleep
Sleep in a dark room

Movement has many benefits and little side effects and is a great habit to build into your routine.
