About this listen

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by wellness culture, conflicting health advice, or the constant pressure to optimize their body. Maybe you’ve tried the supplements. Maybe you’ve followed the trends. Maybe you’re doing everything “right” and still not feeling well. In this episode of Better Said Than Written, I share a Social Media Essay written by Dr. Pamela Buchanan, whose words cut through the noise and ask a simple but confronting question: what if the answer isn’t more but less? At the center of this reflection is a reminder many of our grandmothers already understood: “Your body doesn’t need a hack. It needs food.” We explore ancestral wisdom, modern burnout, and what it means to return to nourishment as care, especially while navigating midlife, perimenopause, and changing relationships with our bodies. If this episode stirred something for you about food, wellness, aging, or the lessons passed down through generations, take a moment to sit with it. You don’t have to fix anything today.
