In Episode 3 of the Move Forward Every Day With MaryRuth’s podcast, MaryRuth dives deep into what she calls The Art of Health for Busy People, which is also what her book, Liquids Till Lunch, is based on! 

By sharing and diving into these 12 free and accessible habits that MaryRuth has been teaching for years since her private practice days in New York City, she explains how managing your time and creating healthy daily habits can help you achieve big results thanks to the compound effect. 

She delves into each of these 12 steps: 

• Liquids till lunch

• Chew your food until it’s liquid

• Drink half your body weight in ounces of water

• Portion control meals

• Eat as healthy as possible

• Get 15 minutes of direct sunlight on your face

• Sleep 8 hours

• Stretch for 15 minutes

• Move your body for 30 minutes

• Stress less

• Think positively

• Believe in a universal force of goodness

MaryRuth’s mantra is clear: progress, not perfection. 

Whether you adopt one habit or all twelve, small actions compound into game-changing results over a year. She sprinkles in candid mom-of-four anecdotes, B-Corp values around accessible wellness, and the gentle reminder that mental health is health.
