For most of my life, I felt split between two worlds:
the one where I analyze data… and the one where I lace up my shoes, breathe deeply, and move my body.
In one world, I’m studying public health, behavior, and how our choices shape our long-term wellbeing.
In the other, I’m lifting weights, running miles, stretching on my yoga mat, and learning what my body has to say back.
I used to keep those worlds separate.
Now, they’re becoming one language.
This is the beginning of something that feels deeply mine — a way of approaching wellness that’s guided by evidence, but held gently, like something sacred.
Why I Believe Wellness Should Be Evidence-Guided (But Still Human)
There’s a lot of noise in the wellness space — trends, quick solutions, and routines that look perfect online but fall apart in real life.
Science, when you strip away the jargon, is simply a way of finding clarity.
It’s how we make sense of what actually works.
But here’s the gentle truth:
Evidence alone isn’t enough.
You still have a body with a history, a schedule, a heartbeat, and a story.
So my goal isn’t to drown you in studies.
It’s to help you use research as a compass — a guide that points you toward choices that support who you are becoming.
What “Evidence-Based” Actually Means
The phrase “evidence-based” gets thrown around a lot, especially online.
But in the scientific world, it has a very grounded meaning.
Evidence-based wellness balances three things:
- Real research (not headlines or screenshots)
- Professional expertise — the knowledge that comes from training and experience
- Your own body’s needs, limitations, and preferences
It’s not strict or cold or rigid.
It’s a conversation between data and lived experience.
But here’s where things get blurry on social media:
1. One study is treated like a universal rule.
Science doesn’t work that way.
One study is a clue, not the full story.
2. Personal stories get mislabeled as “research.”
Something that worked beautifully for one person may not be the answer for everyone.
Anecdotes inspire us — but they aren’t evidence.
3. Trendy wellness hacks get a scientific-sounding glow-up.
Cold plunges, detoxes, greens powders, adaptogens…
Some have promise.
Some don’t.
Most are marketed louder than the data supports.
4. Correlation gets mistaken for causation.
Just because two things happen together doesn’t mean one caused the other.
This is one of the easiest traps to fall into if you’re not careful.
My goal is to make all of this feel less intimidating —
to translate the science into something soft, approachable, and genuinely helpful.
My Philosophy: Simple. Consistent. Kind to Your Body.
Here’s what shapes the way I approach movement and health:
Consistency over perfection
You don’t need the “perfect” routine.
You need one that’s doable on the days you’re tired, busy, or overstimulated.
Recovery is part of the plan
Your body adapts during the moments you’re resting.
Rest isn’t the opposite of effort — it’s what makes effort possible.
Health should feel supportive, not suffocating
Wellness isn’t meant to be a performance.
It’s meant to add softness, strength, and clarity to your life.
Let science guide, not dictate
Use evidence as a map.
Use your body as the compass.
Wellness is whole-body, whole-heart
Strength.
Endurance.
Nervous system regulation.
Joy.
Presence.
They all matter.
A New Chapter Is Coming
Right now, I’m preparing for something big — something I’ve been working toward for a long time.
I’m not ready to name it publicly yet, but you’ll see it unfold soon.
What I can say is this:
This next chapter will let me bring science and wellness together in a way that feels aligned with everything I’ve grown into.
What You’ll See From Me Moving Forward
Expect content that feels like a blend of clarity and warmth:
- Evidence-based wellness in simple language
- Strength + endurance training you can actually apply
- Running tips and mental strategies

If you’re here because you love wellness and you want to understand it more deeply…

This is only the beginning.
And I’m really glad you’re here.
