    How to Organize Medical Records at Home for Less Stress (Create a Family Medical Binder That Actually Works) #183

    Do you ever feel completely lost trying to keep track of your family’s medical paperwork? One form here, another password there, a half-finished patient portal that you swear you updated last year. It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin. If you’ve ever found yourself digging through piles of paper, scrolling endlessly through emails, or guessing which medication your child or parent takes, this episode is for you. In this week’s episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’m sharing a powerful conversation with Andrea from Heart Health Academy, a physician assistant turned wellness coach who’s spent 25 years helping families get organized with their health. Together, we talk about how to organize your medical records at home for less stress, and how to create a family medical binder that actually works. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace of mind. Because clutter doesn’t only live in our homes. It can live in our paperwork, our inboxes, and our minds. When you learn how to declutter your medical information and set up simple, intentional systems, everything starts to feel lighter. Wouldn’t it feel amazing to walk into any doctor’s office knowing you have everything you need, right at your fingertips?  And what if you could finally stop feeling guilty for not having it all together, and start focusing on what really matters, your family’s health and calm? This episode will help you take one more step toward a calmer, more organized life. You’ll discover realistic declutter strategies to keep important information tidy, avoid overwhelm, and feel confident in any situation, from routine checkups to emergencies. Because true home organization isn’t just about how your space looks, it’s about how your life feels. Tune in now and learn how to bring the same calm you’ve created in your home to your health information too. Andrea Atcheson is a Physician Assistant, wellness coach, chef, and founder of Heart Health Academy. With over 25 years in cardiology, she’s treated patients with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, and has seen firsthand how disorganized medical records can delay or even compromise care. Through Heart Health Academy, Andrea helps people take control of their health by staying informed, organized, and confident when managing their medical information. Her mission is simple: when you understand your health history, you can advocate for better care and live a healthier life. She has been featured on TV, radio, and in multiple publications, and continues to share her expertise through coaching, speaking, and teaching healthy cooking classes.
