The Balance Routine by Melissa Riley is a Substack Bestseller with 6,300+ subscribers.

I break down the real reasons you're tired, bloated, and stuck (and what works to fix it). I write about anti-inflammatory eating, gut health, root-cause healing, and why most of what the wellness industry sold you is keeping you sick. You'll find the meals I actually eat, the research that matters, and honest breakdowns on seed oils, blood sugar, histamine intolerance, morning routines, nervous system health, healing with herbs, and why your expensive supplements might be working against you.

I write about understanding what's wrong at the root, making swaps that actually work, and finally feeling good in your body. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and want straight answers backed by science (not trends), you're in the right place and you'll receive 2-3 newsletters a week straight to your inbox to help you on your journey.
