Let’s Redefine What It Means to Be Well — Together

No perfectionism. No pressure. Just real-life wellness that lasts.

Hello!

A heartfelt welcome to The Get Well Plan — I’m so glad you’re here. 😌

I’m looking at all of these amazing Substack features thinking: “Ohh…We could have our own group chat, I could host a podcast, look at how easy it is to upload coaching resources for subscribers! So much room for activities!”

It feels inspiring here, and I’m excited to grow a supportive, thriving community for us to heal, grow, and connect with each other as we nourish our health and wellbeing.

And while my ADHD brain wants to hyperfocus and do all-the-things, I’m honoring the season of life I’m in, with slow, steady, spacious growth. 🐢

Nice to meet you, by the way! I’m Alyssa, a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and Dare To Lead™ Trained Leadership Mentor. 

I’m also a woman who’s learning to embrace imperfection, restore balance, and practice self-care that’s guided by science and self-love.

That’s why the mantra of The Get Well Plan is, every healthy choice counts.

No pressure.

No perfectionism.

Just moment-by-moment, real-life wins that help you feel your best.

Because true healing happens in the little shifts. The baby steps. The slow, steady return to yourself — not the latest trends, fad diets, or (non-prescribed) supplement stacks.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by all of the wellness advice and conflicting information, I hope this space feels like a breath of fresh air.

We’re getting to the roots of wellbeing. Rebuilding a foundation of health with small changes that truly add up to meaningful, lasting transformations.

You’ll find resources on the lifestyle factors of Functional Medicine, plus leadership wellbeing insights (so your work can support your health too.)

🍽️ Functional Nutrition

Food is more than calories in, calories out. In Functional Nutrition, it’s powerful medicine—providing energy and sending signals to your cells. Small, supportive shifts in nourishment can strengthen your health and help you reconnect with what your body truly needs.

💪 Movement & Vitality

Whether you’re rebuilding strength or honoring your limits, physical activity can support circulation, ease tension, and strengthen your body’s resilience. Moving in ways that feel joyful and energizing can help restore vitality and a sense of forward momentum.

☁️ Sleep & Restoration

Sleep is essential to healing—but deep, restorative rest isn’t always easy to achieve. Hormonal shifts, stress, or chronic fatigue can disrupt your rhythms. Supporting your sleep cycle with care can help rebuild energy, emotional steadiness, and a sense of renewal.

💞 Relationships & Connection

Connection is a key pillar of wellbeing. When relationships feel strained, absent, or overwhelming, it can affect emotional and physical health. Nurturing meaningful connection can help you feel more supported, balanced, and rooted in what matters most.

💆‍♀️ Stress & Resilience

Not all stress can be avoided—but your response to it can be supported. Building emotional resilience means strengthening the inner resources that help you adapt, recover, and grow. Mindfulness, breathwork, and moments of meaning can help restore calm, clarity, and grounded strength.

🧪 Reduce Toxic Burden

Your body is built to naturally detox—but in today’s world, hidden toxins in food, personal care products, and the environment may interfere with hormones, energy, and inflammation. Reducing exposure can help lighten the burden and create space for healing.

👩‍🏫 Leadership Wellbeing

Your health isn’t separate from your work. Whether you're leading a business, community, a team, family, or simply trying to lead yourself through a demanding season, your wellbeing is the foundation that supports it all.

You don’t need to overhaul your life to start feeling better.

You can begin right where you are.

You just need one calm breath. One kind choice. One moment of listening to what your body actually needs.

It happens one moment at a time.

And before you realize how far you’ve come, you’ll start to notice small, meaningful changes: in your mood, your energy, your skin, your digestion, your mindset, and your vision for what’s possible in the next chapter of your life.

If this sounds like the path you’re on—or want to take—I’d love to invite you to subscribe.

I’ll be sharing personal reflections, evidence-based tools, and resources to support sustainable shifts toward a healthier, happier you.

Let’s grow together. 🌷

And if you’re in, say hello in the comments!

I’d love to hear: What makes your health a priority for you right now?What’s one small shift you want to make to help you feel your best?

I can’t wait to connect and grow a supportive community here, together.

Wishing you wellbeing,
Alyssa
