How to Start Prioritizing Your Health (Even with a Full Plate)

Angela Waldie, CNP 🥗✨

If you're a busy woman juggling work, home life, relationships, and an endless to-do list — while wondering why you still feel off — you're not alone.

For many women, prioritizing health feels like just another thing to add to the list. You're exhausted, you’ve tried eating better, maybe even started a workout routine, but nothing seems to stick — and your body is still sending signals that something isn’t quite right.

The truth? Your health doesn't need perfection. It needs your attention — even in small, meaningful ways.

Here’s how you can start prioritizing your health, even when your plate already feels full: 🍽️

1. Redefine What "Healthy" Looks Like for You 🌱

Too often, women are sold the idea that being healthy means green juices, 5 a.m. workouts, or a perfectly balanced routine.

But the truth is — health is personal.

If you're in a season of life where you're constantly giving to others, your version of healthy might be:

• Eating one nourishing meal a day without multitasking

• Drinking enough water to support your energy

• Saying “no” to something so you can say “yes” to rest

Start where you are and build from there. Small and consistent steps have far more power than all-or-nothing overhauls.

2. Tune Into the Signals Your Body is Sending 🩺

Many of the women I work with come to me saying things like:

• "I’m tired all the time, but I can’t sleep."

• "I feel bloated, anxious, or just not myself."

• "My doctor says everything is normal, but I know something is off."

These symptoms aren’t random — they are your body’s way of asking for help.

Learning to listen to those messages is the first step to healing. You don’t have to figure it out on your own — you just need someone who can help decode the signals and offer a path forward.

3. Create Pockets of Nourishment in Your Day ☀️

When time is tight, it’s easy to skip meals, ignore hydration, or delay rest. But you don’t need a 90-minute routine to support your body — you just need small moments of nourishment.

A few ideas to get started:

• A grounding breakfast with protein and healthy fats

• A 5-minute walk in fresh air between tasks

• A warm herbal tea in the evening instead of scrolling

• A few deep breaths before your next meeting

These may seem small, but they can create powerful shifts in your nervous system and energy.

4. Ask for Support (It’s Not a Sign of Weakness) 🤝

If you’ve been carrying the weight of your household, your job, and your health — silently — it’s time to shift the story.

You don’t have to do it all.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
And you’re not “failing” if you feel like you’ve lost yourself in the process.

Support is what allows you to show up for others without abandoning yourself.

5. Make a Plan That Works with Your Life, Not Against It 📆

One-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work when your life is anything but average.

You deserve a plan that’s:

• Based on your real life and schedule

• Tailored to your health goals and symptoms

• Flexible enough to grow with you over time

That’s exactly what I offer in my personalized nutrition sessions — a root-cause approach that honours your body, your season of life, and your goals.

You Deserve to Feel Like Yourself Again

Prioritizing your health isn't selfish — it's essential.

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It starts with listening to your body, honoring your needs, and giving yourself permission to begin.
