There’s more to lasting health than just eating healthy. In this episode of The Simplicity of Wellness Podcast, board-certified holistic nutritionist and life coach Amy White breaks down the six pillars of wellness—nutrition, movement, mindset, stress management, sleep, and social connection—and shows how they all work together to create sustainable health and weight loss for adults over 40.

You’ll learn why focusing only on food can leave you stuck, how diet-induced inflammation contributes to anxiety, and simple ways to lean into another pillar when one feels hard. For example, if food feels overwhelming, Amy shares how a quick mindset shift—like journaling through “Why is food feeling so hard today?”—can bring calm and clarity.

This episode is packed with practical tips for reducing stress, improving sleep, and creating a balanced wellness journey that feels freeing, not restrictive. If you’re ready to move past quick fixes and embrace a healthy lifestyle you can actually maintain, this episode will show you how to create harmony across all six pillars.
