Welcome to Wit & Wellness™

Hi, I’m Trina
I’m the writer and creator behind Wit & Wellness.  A nutrition enthusiast and your friendly guide to evidence-based wellness, with a background in psychology, nursing, and an unapologetic love of functional food.

I created this space because I see how overwhelming, performative, and contradictory wellness advice can be, and how it adds to the challenge of making sense of your own health. I believe care should be practical, compassionate, and rooted in real life, not rigid rules or dramatic overhauls.

If you’re curious about how this philosophy took shape, and the lived experiences that informed it, you can read my full story here: Read My Story

What Wit & Wellness Is About

A clarity first corner of the internet for people who want to feel better without turning wellness into a full-time job.

Around here, we believe wellness works best when it’s grounded, evidence-based, and human. No extremes. No purity tests. No guilt disguised as motivation. Just thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and the reminder that small steps actually matter.

This is a space for curiosity over rigidity, progress over perfection, and self-care that fits real life.

What You’ll Find Here:

Wit & Wellness is organized around four core paths, each one supporting a different facet of everyday wellbeing:

Thrive

Mind, emotion, body, and balance. How stress, sleep, movement, and mental health shape how you feel day to day. 

Nourish

Food clarity, plant-forward recipes, gut-brain health, and nutrition explained without fear-mongering or dogma.

Grow


Purpose, mindset, self-compassion, and meaningful work. Because wellness includes how you live, not just what you eat.

Connect

Relationships, lifestyle, spirituality, and the quiet ways connection supports resilience.

If you’re new here, the Everyday Wellness page acts as a map, helping you find a starting point without overwhelm. There’s no wrong place to begin.

A Note on Credentials & Scope

My background is in psychology and nursing, which shapes how I approach wellness: evidence-aware, practical, and deeply respectful of individual experience.

Wit & Wellness isn’t a place for prescriptions or diagnoses. It’s a place for education, context, and clarity tools that help you think critically, make informed choices, and feel grounded in your own body and life.

Think of this space as a trusted guide, not a rulebook.

How This Space Works

You won’t find rigid plans or dramatic overhauls here. Instead, you’ll find:
clear explanations of complex topics realistic, plant-forward recipes short “Snackable Science” insights reflections that help you pause and recalibrate encouragement rooted in compassion, not pressure.

Wellness isn’t built in grand gestures. It’s built in patterns, the small repeatable choices that accumulate over time.

A Philosophy Worth Repeating

At Wit & Wellness, we believe wellness is cumulative, not performative.

You don’t need to optimize everything.
You don’t need to do it perfectly.
You don’t need to earn rest or nourishment.

You just need information you can trust and permission to use it gently.

Transparency Matters Here

You’ll notice a few consistent threads throughout the site:

    • plant-forward, whole-food-leaning guidance

    • skepticism toward wellness extremes

    • openness about uncertainty where science is still evolving

    • recommendations rooted in usefulness, not hype

If a product or resource is ever recommended, transparency comes first.

If something doesn’t fit the Wit & Wellness values, it doesn’t make the cut, simple as that.

One Last Thing

If you’re here because you’re tired, curious, overwhelmed, or quietly hoping for a steadier way to feel better, you’re in the right place.

This space exists to remind you that wellbeing doesn’t require intensity, rigidity, or self-judgment. It requires clarity, patience, and care applied consistently, imperfectly, and with grace.

Welcome. I’m genuinely glad you’re here.

With wit and wellness,


Trina 💚
