Bio
Hey, welcome to my blog, I'm Kate Pie. I am passionate about living a preventative and mindful lifestyle using a holistic approach. I have my BA in Communication with a minor in Holistic Health from the University of Southern Maine, in Portland, where I reside with my partner, Justin, and our two cats Eddie & Iggy.
Most people don’t know that I’ve spent years battling depression and anxiety. My interests in health and wellness began in my teen years when I had my first bout of depression. I began researching and implementing different holistic modalities to help ease the pain and panic I was feeling. Since then, I have also been diagnosed with hypothyroidism which can also affect your mental and physical wellbeing. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness and mind-body connection. I work closely with a Nurse Practitioner, and take medications for my thyroid and for my depression and anxiety. Like Hippocrates and many others, I believe in food as medicine. I believe in a whole life approach, which means a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and mental wellness.
