Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated—and it definitely shouldn’t feel like another thing on your never-ending to-do list.
Welcome to Wellness Uncomplicated, the podcast that helps you feel better in your body, boost your energy, and build healthy habits that actually work—without the stress, guilt, or pressure to do it all.
I’m Megan Kennedy—holistic nutritionist, wellness entrepreneur, and parent of three—and I know firsthand how overwhelming today’s wellness world can be. One day it’s all about cutting carbs, the next it’s seed cycling, and somehow you’re supposed to be drinking green juice and getting 10 hours of sleep? Yeah, I’ve been there.
But here’s what I’ve learned: real wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about small, intentional choices that support your body, your mind, and your life.
Every Monday, I’ll bring you:
✔️ Bite-sized, actionable tips you can start using today
✔️ Supplement guidance that makes sense (and doesn’t break the bank)
✔️ Simple nutrition strategies that nourish—not overwhelm
✔️ Honest conversations about showing up for yourself in the midst of real life
✔️ Inspiring guests who bring clarity, not confusion
Whether you’re caring for a family, running a business, or just trying to get through the day with a little more energy and ease—Wellness Uncomplicated is here to support you. Because when you feel better, you show up better—for yourself, and for the people who need you most.
Follow the show and let’s meet here every Monday—your go-to spot to set the tone for your week and take one simple, powerful step toward feeling your best.
