    Still Exhausted After ‘Reset January’? This Is Why It Backfires

    January gets a terrible reputation! The “Monday” of the year, full of January blues and Blue Monday dread. But what if January isn’t the problem… what if it’s the most important month for your health? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle reframes January as a powerful, essential reset — a grounding month designed for rest, reflection, and real self-care. Drawing on seasonal health, Chinese medicine, and natural energy cycles, Katie explains why winter is meant to be inward-focused, why December exhausts us, and how January gives us a second chance to restore balance. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “fix yourself” in January, Katie shares a radically different, and far kinder, approach to health, wellbeing, and alignment.

    What High-Pressure Jobs Do to Your Body (Even When You ‘Look Fine’)

    In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle is joined by her close friend Katie Nicholl (Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent and BBC contributor) for a conversation about stress, symptoms, and the wake-up call that changed everything. Katie shares how what looked like burnout, palpitations, and perimenopause stress turned out to be cholangiocarcinoma (a rare primary liver cancer), despite “normal” blood tests, and why pushing for a scan likely saved her life. They unpack the post-treatment reality: life doesn’t magically get easier after a diagnosis, so self-care has to become non-negotiable.
