Healthy living shouldn't feel out of reach.

In this episode of the Lets Check In Podcast, Suzie sits down with naturopath, health educator and founder of The Staple Store, Catie Gett, for a refreshing conversation about what real health looks like when life feels busy, expensive and overwhelming.

Catie shares how her journey shifted from aspirational wellness to making healthy eating practical, affordable and achievable in everyday life. Together they explore food insecurity, decision fatigue, nervous system regulation, motherhood, burnout and why the simplest habits are often the most powerful.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice or struggled to prioritise yourself, this conversation offers a grounded perspective on making health practical, affordable and achievable in everyday life.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why optimisation culture can make health feel impossible

• Food insecurity and the hidden cost of eating well

• Reducing the cognitive load around meals

• Why breakfast, rest and simple food matter more than supplements

• Nervous system regulation and everyday habits that create safety

• The importance of joy, connection and community

• Motherhood, burnout and learning to care for yourself

• Building a healthier relationship with food without shame
