New Feature Alert: DRM Wellness Has a Blog Now… because clearly, the internet needs more of our opinions.

Look, I know what you're thinking, because me too. “Does the world really need another blog?” No. Are Blogs even cool anymore? Also, probably no.. but then again… maybe I’m not that cool either. And that’s fine, because I’m not here to be trendy, I’m here to be helpful. The way I see it, the world does need a smart, slightly sarcastic, judgment-free corner of the internet where you can actually learn useful things about staying healthy, moving better, and surviving adulthood without throwing your back out while sneezing…or is it not peeing when you’re sneezing?
Right?!?!

Welcome to the DRM Wellness Blog! Your new go-to spot for:

  •          Practical tips that make sense

  •          Interesting studies broken down into normal human language

  •          Gentle reminders that your worth isn’t measured in pant sizes or by a number on a scale

  •          And the occasional rant about things like skinny gym culture, foam rollers that feel like medieval torture devices disguised as ‘self-care,’ or those home gym gadgets that promise six-pack abs in six minutes a day.

When health meets heart, the conversation begins and it starts here.

  •         Knowledge that empowers.

  •         Stories that connect.

  •         Support that matters.

And yes, we’ll absolutely laugh at the ridiculous fitness trends of the past (looking at you, Shake Weight… and also yes, I totally just dated myself). Remember, this is a judgment-free zone.

Our plan is to post one or two solid reads a month. But when something big drops, like a new study that changes how we approach fitness, aging, or mobility, you better believe we’ll be here with hot takes, plain-English explanations, and maybe a gif or two if we’re feeling a little saucy or bold.

Whether you’re navigating post-surgery recovery, exploring fitness or wellness, trying to help your parents age in place, or just wondering if your desk job is slowly turning you into a pretzel, we’ve got something for you.

So bookmark us. Subscribe. Stalk our social media if that’s your thing.
And if there’s something you want us to cover.. a burning question, a weird exercise trend you saw online, or just something you’ve been too embarrassed to ask out loud... message us. Seriously. I am an OT; there is literally nothing I won’t talk about. Just ask my kids about my lack of filter.

So let’s build this community into the resource you want and need to be successful.
Real info. Real support. Real people. Ready or not, here we blog.
