Mothers are the most powerful force on the planet. We are raising the next generation, feeding them, and teaching them. Sometimes, it's easy to forget what an important job we are doing as mothers. But a mom will do anything to keep their family safe and healthy.    I'm sure my guest will agree that moms have the potential to change the world, one family at a time. And that's exactly what she's doing.    Katie Wells, CTNC, MCHC, is the founder of Wellness Mama, an online resource for women and moms who want to live healthier lives. Katie and her team of researchers and medical advisors analyze a wide variety of health, parenting, and natural living topics and summarize the information in a clear and usable way. They aim to present practical tips, natural food recipes, DIY beauty instructions, green cleaning tutorials, natural remedies, and other information to improve people's lives.    Katie also hosts The Wellness Mama Podcast, a weekly podcast series covering the health topics of real food, stress, sleep, fitness, toxins, natural living, and much more to give you actionable steps to improve your family’s health.   Katie is not a doctor or a health guru (that’s why she has medical advisors!). She’s just a mom who is super passionate about creating a healthy life for her family,   If you want to become a “Wellness Mama” like Katie and help create lasting change, we discuss some practical ways that you can take part in keeping your family healthy.    Thank you for listening to another episode of the Happy Bones, Happy Life podcast!   “We know that loneliness is more dangerous than smoking. The flip side of that is a strong community is actually one of the really big factors of longevity.” - Katie Wells   In this episode: - [01:12] - A brief background about Katie Wells - [08:57] - Instilling healthy habits in kids  - [12:26] - Simple tips to improve health - [28:17] - Is exposure to the sun harmful to your health? - [30:21] - Katie's motivation for creating her wellness products - [36:31] - The impact of the products we use on our health and well-being - [39:52] - A product that enhances the oral microbiome - [42:30] - More tips for better health - [46:35] - How to get Katie's wellness products - [47:49] - The three worst things you can put inside your body (it's not what you think!)   Resources mentioned - Wellness Mama's Wellnessee Toothpaste kit - https://wellnesse.com/pages/toothpaste-kit-offer?oid=34&affid=261 - Wellnesse Products - https://wellnesse.com?oid=1&affid=261  - Wellness Mama's Website - https://wellnessmama.com/ - Posture Exercises - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/posture-exercises   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/   - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.
