Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on here. If you’re new or happened to stumble upon my account, here are some fun facts about me!

From the personal side…

🔹 I live in my native hometown, Charleston, SC.

🔹 I’m a wife, a mother of two boys and two girls, and a grandmother…with a second grandchild on the way!

🔹 Both of my boys were born in Germany. We lived there while my husband practiced Ophthalmology in the army for three years.

🔹 I’m an avid birder.

🔹 I’m passionate about spending time in, tending to, and protecting the natural landscapes of the Lowcountry.

🔹 I love cooking, being in the kitchen, and preparing food for loved ones.

🔹 As a child, I was obsessed with swinging…and still am!

🔹 I regularly practice yoga and meditation and never miss a day of exercise.

🔹 My faith is the bedrock of my life.

From the professional side…

🔸 My father, a general surgeon, passed his love of nutrition onto me at a young age. I went on to major in Food Science and Human Nutrition at Clemson University.

🔸 I received my medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and graduated as the valedictorian of my class.

🔸 I worked as a Family Physician for 18 years before dedicating my career to wellness education.

🔸 I was one of the first authors for WELCOA (The Wellness Council of America) and have published six books (three of them best-selling!).

🔸 Motivational speaking is one of my greatest joys; I’ve delivered keynotes in over 42 states and even abroad!

🔸 In 2018, I founded an online school called The Healthy Living School® which now has thousands of students from across the country.

🔸 Every Monday morning I send a free, inspirational healthy living email tip to my community. My students tell me the tips really help them stay on track!

🔸 I cherish my profession as a wellness educator and motivator and am deeply grateful for such a wonderful community of healthy living enthusiasts!

40,000 brains. 161 risk factors. Only 3 came out on top. 🧠 A major study just identified the biggest modifiable threats to your brain: diabetes, air pollution, and alcohol. Save this — your future brain will thank you.#brainhealth #dementiaprevention #cognitivehealth #womenover50 by @drannwellness

Darkness may be a vital sign for your heart. 🌙❤️ A study of 11,000+ adults found that more light at night was linked to thicker, stiffer heart walls on MRI. Blackout curtains, warm dim lamps, and covering standby lights are easy, low-cost fixes. How dark is your bedroom? Tell me below!#sleephealth #hearthealth #lightpollution #sleeptips #bedroomsetup by @drannwellness

Doing hard things not only offers a profound sense of accomplishment, which is sooo satisfying- it also activates the anterior midcingulate gyrus (amcc). The amcc is special part of the brain that affords us perseverance and motivation to gut it out. And it is bigger in superstars, those whose intellect over age 80 rivals someone much younger. So just dot it! #healthyaging #brainhealth #healthyliving by @drannwellness

It’s not just how much protein — it’s when.

🍳💪 Many of us eat almost no protein at breakfast and load up at dinner. But muscles can only use so much at once, especially as we age. Spreading protein evenly across meals may build and preserve more muscle.

What are some of your favorite high protein breakfast meals?

How fast you walk may predict your future health.

🚶‍♀️💨 Research on older adults found walking speed was strongly tied to survival — and it’s trainable. Try picking up your pace on your next walk. What’s your favorite way to move faster?

Self-care that’s also heart medicine.

🧖‍♀️❤️ A long-term Finnish study found frequent sauna use was linked to roughly 40-50% lower cardiovascular death risk. If you have access to one, this might be your favorite ‘workout’ yet. If you don’t have access to a sauna, gyms often include them with your membership!

🌞 GOOD MORNING! Here’s one habit and only takes a few minutes — A ripple effect through your whole day.

Getting outside light within an hour or two of waking strengthens your circadian rhythm — and boosts mood, sleep, focus, and appetite control. Rain or shine, this one counts.
