IT TAKES A VILLAGE

As I was writing my 7 Pillars to Wellness and Longevity program,

I found myself diving deep into the study of Blue Zones—those unique pockets

of the world where people live the longest and healthiest lives.

I thought I would uncover some universal “magic formula,"

but what I discovered

was that each area’s secrets varied depending on their geographical location. Surprisingly, many of these health practices did not align with life in North America.

It made me pause and reflect: Why did I leave England for Sedona?

And what made my time there so special beyond the stunning red rocks?

The answer was clear—community.

Community is the one common thread across all Blue Zones. It’s what kept me grounded and committed to my own wellness rituals, like the little self-care checklist on my fridge that still brings out my inner child who loves ticking off my rituals. Having a supportive circle, paired with a bit of structure, makes all the difference in our health journeys.

As we embark on this path of wellness together, I’m excited to foster that

same sense of community with YOU.

A space where we can share, support, and lift each other up.

It really does take a village.

Let’s work together to reduce stress, enhance well-being,

and thrive on this wellness journey.

Love and light,

Bliss XO

Movement a pillar of longevity

"Hello, beauties! Let’s talk about one of the 7 pillars of wellness: movement and how it directly impacts longevity. Now, I know there’s a lot of confusing information out there, but I’m here to clear things up."

"So, how much should you really be moving each day? Honestly, it’s not about killing yourself with intense cardio sessions twice a week. In fact, taking a movement break every 30 minutes is more beneficial in the long run than doing two hours of cardio twice a week. This is something metabolic health expert Casey Means recommends, and it makes a lot of sense!"

"Even simple movements—like walking, gentle stretching, or standing up from your desk—can make a world of difference. Resistance training is key too. Doing it just 3 times a week helps build mitochondria—those little powerhouses in your cells that support energy production and slow the aging process."

"Low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or even yoga are great, especially if you’re worried about joint pain or injury. Just remember, movement isn't about perfection. It’s about consistency."

"The long-term benefits? Improved heart health, better metabolic function, and staying mobile as we age. Short-term, you’ll feel energised, more focused, and let’s be honest—less stiff!
