Spring is here, and you know what that means—it’s not just time to clean out the closets. It’s also the perfect season to refresh your health and make simple, powerful changes that support your family’s wellness.
You want better options. We did the homework. Let’s make this easy.
Here are 10 of our favorite, realistic “spring clean your health” swaps—no overwhelm, just real life-tested, naturally better ideas for your home and body.
💦 1. Swap Soda for Infused Water or Olipop
Ditch the sugary drinks and fake sweeteners. Try infusing your water with lemon, orange, mint, or cucumber—it’s refreshing, hydrating, and good for your skin and digestion.
Craving soda hard? I’ve been there. Grab an Olipop. It's fizzy like soda but with prebiotics and only 4g of sugar (compared to 59g in a Fanta 😳). Brittany LOVES the watermelson-lime flavor, so summery! Just don’t overdo it—it’s a better treat, not a daily go-to.
🍓 2. Swap Processed Snacks for Seasonal Fruit
Hit up your local farmer’s market (or just the produce aisle) and grab what’s in season—strawberries, blueberries, radishes, asparagus, kale. Keep washed fruit front and center in the fridge so it's an easy grab instead of a bag of chips.
🧘🏽♀️ 3. Swap Overwhelm for Mindfulness
We carry so much on our plates. Take 5 minutes outside. Breathe. Mediate. Stretch. Journal. Or just sit and do nothing. You’re allowed to pause. Your nervous system needs it. Think of mindfulness like your internal reset button—it doesn’t have to be perfect to work. Headspace and Calm are great apps to use!
🛏️ 4. Swap Late Night Netflix for Real Rest
Girl, get your sleep. I know the new season of Handmaid’s Tale is dropping this week, and it’s tempting to scroll reels in bed, but your brain and hormones need rest. Set a bedtime alarm, make your room cozy, and wind down with a book instead of Netflix.
🍽 5. Swap Fried for Grilled or Baked
You can still get that crispy vibe without all the processed oil. Grilled chicken. Roasted veggies. Baked fries. Avocado Oil. All the yum without the extra inflammation.
🚶🏽♀️ 6. Swap Couch Time for Sunshine
Turn the TV off and get outside with your kids—even just a walk around the block. More sunshine = more serotonin (aka your feel-good chemical). Bonus: it helps everyone sleep better.
🧍🏽♀️ 7. Swap Junk Snacks for 5 Air Squats
Hear me out—those junk snack cravings? They’re scientifically designed to hijack your brain’s dopamine, creating food addiction. Next time, try 5 air squats or push-ups. Movement gives your body the same dopamine reward—without the chip crumbs.
🧍🏽♀️ 8. Swap Isolation for Real Connection
The U.S. Surgeon General called loneliness a health epidemic. Plan a walk with a friend. Say hi to a neighbor. Even if you think combining yours and your friend’s kids will just be chaotic—we need each other more than we realize.
🧼 9. Swap Harsh Cleaners for Safer Ones
Vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice work wonders—and won’t leave toxic residue behind. Brittany’s new favorite? Zum laundry detergent (yep, they sell it at Target). It smells like crunchy mom goals in a bottle. Clean ingredients. Essential oils. No junk. Trust me—you’ll love it.
🛋 10. Swap Plastic & Chemicals for Non-Toxic Options
Use glass containers instead of plastic (especially if you’re microwaving).
Switch to cast iron or ceramic cookware to avoid leaching chemicals.
Go for organic sheets or bamboo bedding to reduce exposure to toxins while you sleep.
Filter your water! The EPA finally admitted PFAS (forever chemicals) are linked to cancer and liver disease.
Let’s make spring the season we step into feeling better—mind, body, and home. One small swap at a time. You’ve got this!
💡 Did You Know?
The first chiropractic adjustment wasn’t even for back pain—it was to restore someone’s hearing! True story. In 1895, a janitor named Harvey Lillard got his hearing back after a spinal adjustment. Chiropractic care has always been about more than just pain—it’s about restoring function in the nervous system and helping the body heal.
