New to herbalism? Start here.
You don’t need to become an herbalist to thoughtfully incorporate herbs into your wellness routine. You just need a little knowledge, the right guidance, and a place to start.
What if motivation isn’t the problem? Here’s how to achieve your wellness goals.
If your habits depend entirely on feeling motivated, they are likely to become harder to maintain when life gets difficult. So what works better?
Your attention is a resource: How to protect your mental energy.
Our attention is constantly being asked to move. Between notifications, emails, social media, work, family responsibilities, errands, news, and the countless small decisions that fill our days, it’s easy to feel mentally exhausted, even when we haven’t done anything particularly demanding.
The power of a check-in text.
Sometimes someone we love comes to mind, and we think, “I should check in on them.” Then life gets busy, we don’t know what to say, or we convince ourselves that they will reach out if they need us.
Chalk the walk for recovery.
This September, Evolve Wellness is proud to participate in Rage Against Addiction’s Chalk the Walk, an initiative bringing local nonprofits, recovery homes, and community partners together to raise awareness and celebrate recovery. As part of the initiative, businesses throughout our community are invited to chalk their sidewalks with purple butterflies and ribbons — symbols of recovery, remembrance, hope, and support.
Your fall wellness check-in: Here’s what your body needs as the seasons change.
Our bodies are constantly responding to changes in our environment, routines, and seasons. Fall can be a good reminder to pause, check in, and adjust how we are caring for ourselves.
Sleep is more than rest: How sleep impacts your mental and physical health.
Sleep supports memory, emotional regulation, immune function, metabolism, cardiovascular health, and cognitive performance. It also helps regulate the internal biological clock that influences when we feel awake, tired, hungry, and ready to rest.
Is someone you love struggling? Here’s what support actually looks like.
When someone we care about is struggling, it can be easy to feel like we need the right words or the perfect solution. But support doesn’t have to mean fixing someone’s problems.
The story behind Evolve Apothecary.
Evolve Apothecary started with a simple idea: What if herbalism and traditional medicine didn’t have to exist separately? Whether you come looking for an herb, a thoughtful gift, a new ritual, a creative experience, or simply somewhere to spend time with people you love, we hope you will feel at home here.
How to really check in with the people you love.
When someone we care about is struggling, it’s natural to worry about saying the wrong thing. But meaningful support doesn’t require having all the answers.
The power of asking for help.
Many of us carry the belief that we should be able to do this life alone. But being capable doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to need support.
5 at-home rituals we’re loving right now.
We often think of wellness as something we do — a workout, a yoga class, a healthy meal, an appointment. But the space we spend our time in can also influence how we feel.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
There are many different approaches to therapy, and finding one that fits your needs, goals, and personality can make a meaningful difference. One of the most widely studied approaches is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Start your day with a nervous-system-friendly routine.
How you spend the first part of your day can influence how you feel as you move through the rest of it. But that doesn’t mean your morning needs to be packed with meditation, exercise, journaling, meal prep, and a perfectly organized to-do list.
Let’s talk about suicide prevention.
September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, remember those we have lost, support those who are struggling, and remind our communities that help is available. Suicide is a serious public health concern, but suicide prevention is possible.
Mental health is health: Why your emotional well-being deserves the same attention as your physical health.
We know it’s important to get enough sleep, eat nourishing foods, move our bodies, and see a healthcare provider when something doesn’t feel right. But when it comes to our mental and emotional health, many of us still hesitate to offer ourselves the same level of care.
The secret is out! Evolve Apothecary is coming soon.
After months of dreaming, planning, researching, blending, sourcing, and creating, we are so excited to officially announce the newest addition to Evolve Wellness. Opening this November, Evolve Apothecary is our newest space dedicated to herbal wellness, intentional living, self-care, and a little everyday magic.
Wellness habits for your busiest days.
Healthy habits don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. In fact, the best habits are often the ones that can adapt when life doesn’t go according to plan.
Decision fatigue: Why you’re so tired by the end of the day.
After making decisions all day — what to wear, what to prioritize, how to respond to an email, what your family needs, when to exercise, what to buy, what to say — you may find yourself completely depleted by seemingly simple choices. This experience is often described as decision fatigue.
Don’t rush summer away…
Savoring summer doesn’t require a vacation or an elaborate bucket list. Often, it’s about paying attention to the small experiences that are easy to overlook when we are focused on what’s coming next.
