The research is already done. That’s the whole idea here.
I spent fifteen years working at a big bank on their trading floor before I walked away to run my own real estate business. I’ve built 12 homes, manage a portfolio of short and long-term rentals, started a Biomagnetism practice offering 1:1 sessions and women’s retreats, and am homeschooling my kids. That’s the version that looks productive on paper.
The version that actually explains this newsletter: I got sick in a way that took years to figure out. Doctors called me a mystery - nobody had answers, so I went looking for them myself. I changed what I ate, what I put in my house, how I approached my health and the health of my family. My two kids have each had their own complex medical situations that required a lot of research that nobody handed me. I learned to vet things instead of just trust them. I learned to follow the evidence when it diverged from the consensus. That turned out to be a habit worth building.
Somewhere in the middle of all this, some friends started calling me Kroogle. They’d text before buying supplements, overhauling their kitchens, trying a new protocol for their kids, or just wondering whether the thing they’d read about was worth doing. I already knew. I’d already done the research.
BusyLivingWell is that text between friends, just scaled up.
Every issue covers health, home, food, efficiency, and the things that make a full life run better. My filter: is this actually worth it? If I haven’t tested it, lived with it long enough to have an opinion, or done enough research to say something real, it doesn’t end up here. And if the mainstream answer turns out to be wrong (in my opinion), I’ll say so.
Each issue includes The Shortcut: one thing I’m currently using, recommending, or genuinely obsessed with. It can be a product, a tip, a recipe, a service, a person to follow. It’s what I’m actually texting my friends - just shared more broadly.
Free subscribers get full newsletter access. There’s a Founding Member option if you want to support the work from the start (thank you!) A paid tier with deeper resources and exclusive content is coming soon too.
If you’re already trying to live well but feel too busy and don’t have the time to figure out what’s actually worth trying, you’re in the right place. I’ll do that part for you.
