It can be difficult to keep on top of all the great resources out there for your health and wellness, especially with new ones popping up every day. As a little holiday gift to you, we have collated some “Best of” lists for podcasts, books, mobile apps, and other information that can help to support your health and wellness goals in 2019.
Podcasts are a great way to be in the know and to hear current, topical information in any area in which you are interested. Literally. If there’s something you want to dive into, there’s likely a podcast out there on it. Many podcasts include interviews with experts in the field, researchers, authors, or everyday folk who represent a particular episode’s topic. Podcasts can either be streamed or downloaded, making them easily accessible just about anywhere, anytime.

Not only can we calendar in appointments and reminders for health-related activities, but there are apps to support your mindfulness practice, discover workouts, log your meals, and more.
