1. I always feel better when I drink enough water daily. I don't get headaches, I don't feel so tired and sluggish.
2. I like a little bit of meat, and I do better when I incorporate more vegetables in my meals.
3. I use a humidifier and diffuser at bedtime.
4. Exercise is something I really need to make a priority. I hardly ever do it.
5. Skin care is something I do daily, but I use minimal organic products.
6. Mental health I use yoga and meditation.
7. I spend most of my time with my husband, and my family.
Thank you for sharing and those tips. I'm also going to take a look at your other videos and products you use.

Enjoyed this video. You calm me and I dont feel anxious or burdened by your tips and suggestions. I found myself yesterday unbelievably anxious and stressed out from watching clean with me videos, de-cluttering and organizing videos. Even the what's for dinner ones and nutrition ones.
You are kind, and you arent trying to sell products that make claims and need to have a doctors guidance.
Thank you for your kindness.
I ordered the book you said you liked. I am looking forward to reading it. I started my health journey 3 years ago but I enjoy constantly learning and by trial and error. We have to do what works for our bodies and personal needs.
Blessings to you Meghan! ❤

Wow. Yes - this is what I think many people staring on their journey need to hear! Thank you for sharing, very well thought out 👌🏼

I really love how you create your content with integrity .You don’t force anyone to buy any products. You also don’t buy expensive products and show it off.
You simply share your experience with simple and easy to follow tips to help having a good healthy lifestyle.

With all the craziness, exaggeration and showing off in social media. You always make me feel happy and calm😊

All the best of luck and wish you more success .. please don’t change 😘

I love how you always focus on actual health and don't promove obsessive thoughts over foods, exercise, etc. I also love your calm voice and beautiful editing!! You're the only life style YouTuber I follow, all of the others I also used to follow triggered my eating disorder and ocd so I had to unfollow them all. You're amazing!!! <33

Thank you for your tips I been on my healthy journey for a while now. Serving two heart attacks so I’m always looking for new ideas to stay healthy and be around for my kids. Great info. I do a lot of juicing and smoothies for that extra Vitamins that I miss in food. Plus I like that you talk about cooking more at home. That’s been a big plus for me thank you

I AGREE with EVERYTHING you've said & talked about in this video! ❤️

LOVE this type of your videos! These are such wonderful pieces of advice. People need this kind of inspiration in their lives, self-care is a priority and, in fact, a necessity! If we are well cared-for, then we can also take care of others and be the best version of ourselves.
I am very curious about one other topic - how does living in Toronto influence your lifestyle and how do you make sure to stay healthy whilst living in quite a big city, etc. I am saying that because having lived both in the US and in Europe, I find it much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle in smaller European countries (and I find that over here governments generally tend to prioritize their citizens' health and wellbeing a bit more) but I am very interested in learning about ways of maintaining your mental and physical well-being and connection to our inner selves in a different environment.
