Empowered + Well

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly “falling off” your wellness routine — or that consistency feels amazing for a week and then completely unsustainable — this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re reframing the pressure-filled idea of routines and exploring a softer, more supportive approach: rituals.

More Episodes

Welcome back to The Empowered Wellness Project — where we break down wellness without the fear, the fads, or the perfectionism.

In this episode, we’re joined by Maddie Lin, Director of Program Delivery at FLOURISH, Certified Nutritional Practitioner, neuroscience and health promotion double major, mindfulness-trained practitioner — and cancer thriver.

With cold and flu season here, we’re talking all things immune health — beyond just “not getting sick.” Maddie shares a grounded, science-meets-real-life approach to supporting your immune system through nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health, and supplements in a way that actually makes sense for your body.

We cover:

Common immune myths to stop believing
Nutrition gaps we see most in winter (and why protein matters)
The role of blood sugar, sleep, stress, and gut health in immunity
Vitamin D, zinc, vitamin C, elderberry, probiotics, omega-3s & magnesium

This episode is a reminder that immune health isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing the right things for your body, your season, and your life.
