Hello friends! How are you? I hope you had a great weekend! Ours was busy, but great. We managed to organize our first date night in a long time (the best!!) and had fun with the kids and pups. This week I have customer conversations, business mentorship callsand am working on mine CPI Centurion modules.
For today’s post, I wanted to share some of my favorite low-effort wellness habits. Honestly, I love all the gadgets and fun routines, but the reality is that many of them aren’t realistic for busy lives or tight budgets. The best health hacks in life really are freeso I’m sharing some of my favorite things today with some of the fun *extras* at the end of this post.

Wellness habits that take little effort and actually make a difference
Morning light.
Morning light has a huge impact on energy and circadian rhythm. It tells your body, “Hey, it’s morning!” so that it can produce melatonin at the right time. Light in the morning = better sleep at night
To walk.
Walking is one of the three most important things you can do for your health. I love to walk at least once a day, whether it’s walking Maisey (I can’t wait to take Lola out soon), walking my walking trail, or walking around Target or the mall with the crew. It’s great for overall movement and function, sleep, glucose regulation, core stability, so many things.
Simple supplements.
You DO NOT need to take a load of supplements to achieve amazing results. The best supplements are the ones recommended specifically for you after functional testing, but here’s the baseline I like: Daily nutritional support, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, And Magnesium. That’s it. (EquiLife now has these cool starter stacks!)
Sleep routines.
Sleep is free, and if you can get it, take it! It can be difficult to make sleep a priority, especially if you’re a parent and nighttime is your only quiet time. I try to remind myself that doomscrolling steals my sleep, so I shut it down, read a book, and try to get as much as I can. My sleep tips are all in this post!
The nervous system is reset.
It’s easy to underestimate the impact that nervous system support has on overall health. You can’t heal on the run or in the fight, so if you’re an anxious and stressed person (like me lol), here are some things that may help: meditation, box breathing, journaling, time with friends, eating outside, time to do NOTHING (I tell many clients to watch a mindless TV show that they enjoy), time outside, walking, yoga/stretching, etc.

If you’re looking for *extras*, here are some that I think are really worth it:
Magnesium. SO MANY people are deficient in magnesium, mainly because we burn through it when we’re stressed. This is my favorite.
Red light. This one is a bit pricey, but you can use FITNESSA for a huge discount and it’s like the Swiss army knife of wellness devices.
Electrolytes. These are cheap and can help replenish the spark plugs of our cells. I recently switched to Trace electrolytes from Thrive market and love the taste and ingredients.
Blue light blockers. These are my go-to’s.
EquiLife Detox. I do this four times a year and always feel great afterwards. If you would like to join our community detox, Order your set here and then send me an email (gina@fitnessista.com subject DETOX). We have a round starting February 2nd.
If you’re looking for more, my top biohacking products are in this post.
You don’t have to go wild with gadgets and supplements to have a balanced routine. The best strategies are the ones that work for your budget and life. This is the foundation I build each client on before adding anything more advanced.
So tell me, friends: what are some of your favorite low-effort wellness habits?
