5 ways to prioritise your wellbeing in 2025

As we get into the swing of 2025, it’s a perfect time to take stock of our health and wellbeing. The start of a new year brings a sense of renewal and opportunity – an ideal moment to focus on creating positive changes that have long-lasting effects. In today’s fast-paced world, where demands often pull us in multiple directions, it’s easy to overlook the importance of self-care. However, small and intentional habits can make a big difference in how we feel and function. By prioritising our health, we set the foundation for a happier and more balanced life. Below I will explore five practical ways to enhance your wellbeing this year. 1. Pay attention to your body Listening to your body is essential for maintaining balance and health. Take a moment each day to assess how you’re feeling physically, mentally and emotionally. Here are some questions you can ask yourself each day: How is my energy level? Am I well-rested or do I need more sleep? Am I eating nourishing foods? Is my diet balanced and supporting my health? What is my emotional state? Are stress or negative emotions affecting my well-being? By regularly checking in with yourself, you can identify areas that need attention and make adjustments to support your overall health. 2. Support your body with supplements Supplementing your diet can help fill nutritional gaps and support your body’s needs. Consider the following: Vitamins and minerals: Supplements like vitamin D, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids can address common deficiencies. You can read more here about what daily supplements I take and recommend to support overall well-being. Herbal remedies: Options such as magnesium and Sceletium Tortuosum can support stress management and reduce inflammation. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: If you experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance, consult a healthcare provider about Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). Ageing shouldn’t be a crisis or seen as a negative step in your life. BHRT can help both men and women feel like the best versions of themselves, both inside and out. Always seek professional advice before starting new supplements to ensure they suit your individual needs. 3. Use habit stacking to build consistency Creating lasting habits can be simplified by using the habit stacking method. This approach involves pairing a new habit with an existing routine to help you integrate these healthy habits into your daily lifestyle. Some examples are: Practice deep breathing while your morning coffee brews. Reflect on three things you’re grateful for while brushing your teeth. Listen to educational or wellness-focused content during your commute. Do a 10 minute stretch every night before bed to relax your body and improve sleep. By incorporating small actions into your daily routine, you can build healthy practices that stick and become long-term practices. Small changes can make a big difference to your health. 4. Prioritise breast health Taking care of breast health is a key component of overall well-being. Simple, consistent steps include: Self-exams: Conduct monthly checks to familiarise yourself with your body and identify any changes. Regular screenings: Schedule mammograms or a Thermocheck® Breast Thermography, as recommended by your healthcare provider. Lifestyle adjustments: Stay active, eat a balanced diet and limit alcohol consumption to reduce health risks. Proactive steps like these can promote early detection and improve long-term breast health. 5. Strive for balance Achieving well-being involves balancing physical, mental and emotional health. I believe the three main pillars of a balanced lifestyle include: Physical health: Prioritise regular exercise, a nutritious diet and adequate sleep. Mental health: Incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine, such as meditation or journaling. Supplements and herbal remedies can also help you manage your stress. Having a spiritual outlook is important to make sense of the chaos around us. Emotional health: Find out what makes you feel warm and happy inside and do these activities often. This may be spending time with loved ones or going for a mindful walk in nature. Prioritising your wellbeing doesn’t always mean making drastic changes. By adopting mindful habits, supporting your body with the nutrients it needs, creating sustainable routines, prioritising breast health and finding balance in your lifestyle, you can feel like the best version of you in 2025. Here at the Natural Doctor, we believe that prevention is key to overall health and wellbeing. Small and consistent actions lead to long-term benefits for your health and happiness.
