Here & Human Wellness Podcast
Here & Human Wellness is where the practical parts of wellness meet the messier experience of actually being alive.
Join Jennifer McDaniel, a registered dietitian, writer, and mother of three, for conversations and reflections about food and nutrition, midlife and women’s health, raising a family, relationships, identity, awareness, and the quieter questions of being human.
Some episodes are practical. Some are personal. And some simply invite us to look more closely at what is already here: exploring how we might live well without turning wellness into another thing to get right.

Ep 50: A Conversation on Aging Gracefully
Episode summary:
In this episode, Jen explores her experience with aging and the challenges that come with navigating the flood of health advice online. She talks about how many women in her circle, like herself, are facing perimenopause and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health information. Jen opens up about the struggle to find reliable guidance and shares her own journey toward aging gracefully.
From choosing positive "gracefully aging" role models to building a healthier relationship with social media. She encourages experimentation with different approaches to self-care by asking a few simple questions.
Favorite quotes:
“Aging gracefully can absolutely include us caring for ourselves in any way, but it’s about how we engage with it.”
“Perimenopause is a brilliant time to step into the shoes we’ve been given, to be the empowered woman, careless what people think, go against the norm, to challenge what other people have to say and to just own our incredible wisdom.”
