What if eating just a little less could help you feel better, digest more comfortably, and support healthy aging?

In this episode of Wishing You Well, Maria Patrick, Health Coach, explores the Japanese Okinawan principle Hara Hachi Bu—the practice of eating until you’re about 80% full rather than completely stuffed.

Maria shares how this simple approach can encourage mindful eating, better portion awareness, digestive wellness, comfortable energy levels, and a healthier relationship with food. She also explores how Hara Hachi Bu connects with the Traditional Chinese Medicine principle of protecting your digestion and why knowing when to say “I’ve had enough” may be one of the simplest wellness habits you can adopt.

Discover how to put the 80% rule into practice at your next meal—and why “enough” might actually be the secret to feeling your best.

Listen, slow down, tune in to your body, and Wishing You Well!

What if the secret to looking and feeling younger isn’t a miracle supplement, expensive treatment, or complicated wellness routine—but a handful of boring things you do every single day?

In this episode of Wishing You Well with Maria Patrick, Health Coach, we’re talking about 10 simple habits that can support healthy aging, energy, skin health, heart health, better sleep, and overall well-being: 30 seconds of cold water on your face, leafy greens, 5 minutes of deep breathing, daily SPF, reducing blue light before bed, less sodium and more potassium-rich foods, omega-3 fatty acids, facial massage with oil, a daily walk, and staying hydrated with water.

These habits may not be flashy, but when practiced consistently, they can become the foundation for a healthier, more vibrant life. Because maybe the real fountain of youth isn’t something you find—it’s something you build into your daily routine.

🎧 Listen now and discover why boring may be the new beautiful.

What if two simple powders could become part of your everyday healthy-aging routine? In this episode of Wishing You Well with Maria Patrick, Health Coach, we’re talking about the 3 C’s: Costco, Collagen & Creatine!

Costco can be a convenient place to find reasonably priced collagen and creatine powders, making it easier to build affordable wellness habits you can actually stick with.

We’ll explore:

✨ Collagen — why collagen peptides may support skin, connective tissue, and healthy aging, and easy ways to add them to your daily routine.

💪 Creatine — why this well-researched supplement isn’t just for athletes and how it can support muscle strength and physical function as we age.

🧠 Creatine & brain health — the fascinating connection between creatine, cellular energy, cognitive performance, and the emerging research on creatine and healthy brain aging.

🥤 How to use them every day — simple ideas for adding collagen and creatine to smoothies, coffee, water, breakfast, or your post-workout routine.

🌿 Most importantly, we’ll talk about why supplements should support—not replace—the fundamentals of healthy aging: quality nutrition, adequate protein, strength training, movement, sleep, and stress management.

Because longevity isn’t just about living longer. It’s about staying strong, vibrant, mentally engaged, and independent for as long as possible.

🎙️ Tune in to Wishing You Well with Maria Patrick, Health Coach and discover why these three C’s might deserve a place in your wellness routine!
