Hi, I’m Jamie.
I write about wellness for people who want to feel better without turning their lives into a rigid self-optimization project.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across media, entertainment, and creative production—while quietly navigating burnout, anxiety, grief, and the slow realization that feeling “functional” isn’t the same as feeling well. This Substack grew out of that tension.
Here, you’ll find practical, science-backed ideas around nutrition, supplements, mental health, routines, and nervous-system regulation—mixed with honest reflections on creativity, boundaries, relationships, and rebuilding a life that actually fits.
I’m not interested in extremes.
No biohacking rabbit holes.
No toxic positivity.
No pretending everything is fine.
Just simple habits that compound, ideas that make you pause, and reminders that taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.
Some weeks this looks like:
What I’m eating (and why it works)
Supplements worth your attention—and which ones aren’t
Small mindset shifts that reduce anxiety instead of inflaming it
Thoughts on creativity, masculinity, fatherhood, and becoming who you’re meant to be
A short list you can read in under five minutes and actually use
If you’re someone who wants to feel calmer, clearer, stronger, and more aligned—without losing your personality in the process—you’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here.
— Jamie
