What Exactly Is A Wellness Bitch?

A wellness bitch is not a whiner, nor a complainer, but an empowered someone who will stand up for herself, her family, and people she’s never met: like you. There are plenty of folks who will approach your health and happiness with caution, if they care to approach you at all. But few will grasp you by the shoulders, look you straight in the face, and tell you to, “WAKE UP.” That’s what we do here.

Why am I The Wellness Bitch? Because, believe it or not, your health matters to me. Even if I don’t know you in real life.

So, WAKE UP. It’s time to realize that you have control over how you feel. It simply requires a little bit of knowledge, a lot of commitment, and a community (like us) who will support you!
