"Your wellness does not live in your kitchen at home; it lives within you. When you learn to carry your 'anchors' with you, you don't need a reset when you get home—because you never truly disconnected from yourself in the first place." - Kylie Buckner, RN
đź“ť Episode Description
Does vacation always feel like a "break" from your healthy habits—only to leave you coming home feeling puffy, foggy, and desperate for a "detox"?
In this episode, we’re changing the narrative around travel. After a recent trip to Mexico where I led a powerful retreat, I’m sharing the exact strategies we discussed for staying connected to your wellness while being away from home. We dive into how to maintain your momentum without sacrificing the joy of a getaway. From talking with hotel staff to curate your meals, to using vacation as a "low-pressure" time to work with a trainer, we’re covering the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine that travel with you.
Imagine coming home from your next trip feeling recharged, invigorated, and inspired—no "reset" required. That is the Green Glow vibe for summer!
