Happy Tuesday everybody, I hope you had a lovely bank holiday Monday! Today I wanted to create a blog post that lists lots of free resources that you might find helpful when learning about health and wellness or if you are a fellow health blogger looking to grow your blog. I started studying nutrition years ago and my love for finding good content on health and wellness has just grown and grown. I know lots of people want to learn more about the topic but books don’t come cheap. Today I just wanted to share with you everything I’ve been reading, watching and listening to- hope it’s useful!
My favourite magazines
A few months ago, I signed up for a trial of Readly* which is a magazine app that allows you to read lots of magazines on your kindle and phone for free. I must admit I much prefer to read paper copies of magazines but I was easily spending £30 a month on magazines and thought this might be a good solution! The idea is you sign up for a trial (if you are reading, you can grab a completely free 30-day trial here) and then after that, it’s £7.99 a month. I discovered so many new magazines during this trial and saved lots of money too! So here are my faves….
- Thrive : a beautifully presented quarterly wellness magazine with the emphasis on food and health as opposed to fitness.Probably my favourite find of the month!
- Psychologies: I love Psychologies; it’s such a fab mag if you are looking for tips and tricks for self-care.
- Eat Healthy:- This is great for just easy to prepare, simple recipes with no fads! They had a really informative feature on Crohn’s recently which I loved.
- Women’s Health: A little too much fitness content for my liking but still love it.
For those interested, other magazines you can read free on the trial are: Glamour, Top Sante, Natural Health, Health and Fitness, Heat, Closer. The list is endless and there are so many health and wellness magazines on there (and trashy celeb ones; should that be your thing!)
My Favourite Podcasts
I have been driving a lot to work and meetings recently and found myself getting frustrated at all this wasted time! So I decided to download some podcasts to listen to on the way! I actually look forward to my drives now as I feel like I’m learning something as I drive: the ultimate multi-tasker!
- Soulful PR and Wellpreneur are both podcasts aimed at those with blogs and small business who want to grow their audience- as a health blogger and Nutritional Therapist, I found the advice so invaluable. Soulful PR is based in the UK while Wellpreneur focuses specifically on health bloggers and is a bit more US centric. They both have lots of tips on everything from Instagram to dealing with journalists!
- The Whole and Healthy Live Podcast: A podcast centred around health and wellness; run by two of my fave health bloggers. I was lucky enough to be featured in episode 9 so go have a listen!
- Bulletproof Radio: A US centred podcast about health and wellness.
- Happier with Gretchen Ruben I love Gretchen’s books and this podcast is such a lovely exploration of trying to make the most of every drop of life.
My Favourite Blogs
I love finding new health blogs to follow, so if you are into health, wellness and gut health (and if you’re not, then why you are reading this blog!) then have a read of these:
- A Belly Full Of: Bryony is a fellow Crohn’s sufferer and blogs about ‘food, health and happiness’ she has such a positive outlook and great recipes too!
- Hello Wellness: This is part blog, part shops and it contains some of the most beautifully curated wellness items you’ve ever seen: think water bottles infused with gemstones and hygge sweaters. I just love it.
- Girl in Healing: Alexa is a fellow chronie and has created a beautiful website chronicling her journey into studying Nutritional Therapy and Paleo recipes.
I’d love to know what your favourite resources are? Got a blog, podcast or magazine you’d really recommend? Let me know….
Very empowering indeed. You are right, we all deserve to be more glowing and growing health by taking great care of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips!
Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better.
Wellness is a misunderstood topic by many. These resources will help everyone understand what wellness actually is and how it helps us enhance our immunity and quality of life. Excellent read!
