When I jump into the car, I’ve got two options: music or podcast. The majority of the time I find myself throwing on a health and wellness podcast because I love how easy it is to learn something new in a matter of ten minutes or less.
Below I’ve listed a few of my favorites that I find myself going back to over and over again. Not only are these podcasts nice for commutes, but I also find time to listen while on walks, runs, cooking in the kitchen, cleaning the house, etc.
We all have a couple minutes in our day to spare so why not spend that time listening to something that’s beneficial for our mental and physical health?
#1 Optimal Health Daily
This podcast is my ultimate favorite because it’s ten minutes or less and they post a new episode daily. The host, Dr. Neal Malik, reads content from some of the best health and fitness websites and then adds a small commentary to the end of each one.
These episodes are short, sweet, and to the point. Get in your car, put this on, and have it finished before you even reach work.
#2 Optimal Living Daily
Similar to Optimal Health Daily, Optimal Living Daily is also less than ten minutes, but focuses on personal development, minimalism, finance, health, and business. I also find it helpful for mindfulness and self care.
Most of the time I find myself listening to one, then hopping over to the other podcast if I have the time. They are both very informative and help me feel accomplish before my work day even starts.
#3 Rise Podcast
Rachel’s podcast focuses on “tangible and tactical tools for your life and business”. She dives into personal development and brings in guest speakers, such as entrepreneurs to help motivate you to live your dream life.
I love her go-to attitude and how she’s not afraid to share with us her day to day personal struggles. I also highly recommend her book, Girl, Stop Apologizing, if you are looking for inspiration to achieve your goals.
#4 Listen to Your Body
Steph Gaudrea is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and USA Weightlifting Sports Performance coach. Her podcast is focused on the intuitive eating principle and finding ways to listen to your body.
The approach that she teaches is inspiring. I never regret throwing on an episode. Steph also has a book called, The Core Four, that I’ve been meaning to get my hands on.
#5 The Wellness Mama
This podcast is centered around holistic health, real food, stress, sleep, fitness, natural living, parenting, and more. Katie Wells brings health tips and actionable solutions in each worthwhile episode.
Recommended for families, these episodes are curated to those wanting to keep themselves and their families healthy with the latest evidence
#6 Affirmations Pod
Josie Ong provides affirmations to help keep your spirits lifted. Also, the episodes are short and sweet. Take a deep breath, turn on the podcast that is appropriate for your situation, and let Josie help you channel those troubles.
