Feeling Good In 2025: What's Next For This Newsletter
I'd really love your help with this!
Hello dear Feel Gooders!
Dr Mariana here with a quick update before Christmas descends with all its lovable chaos!
Here's some BIG NEWS about this newsletter - and my new plan for the next stage of this whole project.
Just two months ago, this newsletter reached its first anniversary. Woot woot! 🎊
Over the last year, I have been teaching you health hacks and needed awareness on how to prevent disease and improve your general wellbeing. Maybe you’ve gone through my courses, health guides, or maybe you’ve seen my video on how to tackle stress in 60 seconds or less.
I’ve also experimented a lot while trying to find out what I wanted to write about, and what you’d enjoy reading. Maybe you don’t know this about me, but I left my corporate clinical job in June 2023 to pursue a different life, and fuel a long-awaited dream. This is how The Feel Good Life was born. Since October 2023, I’ve been slowly, proudly, and consistently creating this new job for myself from scratch.
After a full year, we’re now a family of over 900 people! A lovely and very engaged one by the way—thank you!
It’s been a great journey. But I’ve kept it light. Now, it’s time to take things up a notch.
This month I’ve been hard at work mapping out the Feel Good plan for 2025 to get it to you before Christmas, so you can see what the next phase of this project looks like from beginning to end. And guess what?
It is ready!
I'm calling 2025 our FOUNDATION YEAR.
Are you ready to step up and take control of your mind and body, creating a rock-solid foundation for your health and wellbeing that you can build upon for years to come?
Here's how it's going to work!
First: “Basics Matter - The Series”
I’m creating the very first Feel Good series!
Starting January and all the way until June, I’m taking you on a deep journey into the human body, allowing you to learn not just the basics, but to actually understand what your body is telling you—along with great, practical, and professional guidance on how to take good care of it all.
We will explore the main six systems of the human body, diving into one system per month, including:
Nervous system
Digestive system
Cardiovascular system
Respiratory system
Endocrine system (hormonal control centre)
Musculoskeletal system
Each month, you will receive two in-depth special editions where you will learn:
What are the main organs in each system of the human body?
How do these systems work?
How do systems communicate with each other?
How do these systems sustain you?
How can you take good care of your organs and each system?
How can the healthy function of your systems and organs impact your future?
Basically, I’m going to teach how not to go to the doctor. (Kidding! But not really. This knowledge will help you better understand your body, take good care of your health, and communicate more efficiently with your healthcare providers. If this is not a game-changer, I don’t know what it is!)
I told you, we’re going for a ride.
Next, I’m implementing *Three New Features* for Paid Subscribers:
1. Say hello to the first Feel Good eBook!
→ “Don’t Stress It! - A practical and medically-guided ebook to help you manage stress and enjoy your life.”
If you might recall, one of the first things I shared in my newsletter was an online course called Don’t Stress It! The readers’ feedback was substantial, inspiring me to bring it in a way that feels handier for you. I decided to make it an ebook. Rather than it being lessons that you have to access through the platform each time, I created this ebook so you can carry it on your kindle or reading device. Enjoy taking notes and learning on the go! —> Coming January 2025.
2. Audio Versions of Newsletters
Starting in January, you will be listening to my voice.
I’m going to include audio versions of my newsletters so that you can listen anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re walking, cleaning, exercising or simply doing stuff around the house, you’ll be able to learn as you go. With this, I don’t want you to rush through life feeling like you need to be constantly learning something. Instead, I simply want to offer you another reading option that better adapts to your daily needs.
3. Season Two of The Green Prescription Club
In 2024, paid subscribers enjoyed a powerful initiative called Green Prescriptions, in which a Medical Doctor prescribes Nature and outdoor activities as part of their healthcare plan, rather than just prescribing pills. I always knew I wanted to create my own version for my readers, and that’s how The Green Prescription Club was born.
During the last 6 months, paid subscribers received one Green Prescription per month that included a curated outdoors/nature activity, all the latest science and neuroscience behind it, and a monthly group call to discuss. As a quick recap for you, this is what we covered in our first semester of Green Prescriptions:
Month 1 - June 2024: Walking or Hiking
Month 2 - July 2024: Breathing
Month 3 - August 2024: Discovering New Green Spaces
Month 4 - September 2024: Stargazing
Month 5 - October 2024: Cloud-Gazing
Month 6 - November 2024: Gardening
In 2025, I’m expanding the Green Prescriptions into Season Two, in which:
We will go on deeper dives into the topics that have (and will) continue to inspire us.
We will expand on the latest science, neuroscience, and updates behind the nature-mind-health connection.
We will discover new ideas to challenge ourselves as we head out to explore. Get ready for some Micro-adventures!
We will practice a new exercise as we invite others to join us.
You will create your own Green Outdoors Movement (Yes yes! More on this soon.)
As you can see, I’m utterly excited about everything I’m building here. It’s a good lot! And I’m confident it will be super beneficial to your health and your life.
Now, This Is Where I Need Your Help. 😃
This newsletter is my full time job, and I want all this health education I’m creating to be accessible to everyone—with minimum or no paywalls. (The dream!)
But in order to do this, I need your kind paid subscriptions. Simple as that.
Your financial support means that I can continue focusing on building this legacy.
Yes, I have a BIG vision. And I believe in it 1000%.
This is not just for me. Our society needs this. We all know that healthcare systems worldwide are saturated, close to collapse—even more after Covid pandemic. Medicine doctors are with tied hands everywhere, unable to have 15 decent minutes per patient. I know it because it’s been my work for the last two decades. It’s suffocating. Working like this doesn’t allow us healthcare professionals to teach our patients what we want/need them to know in order to take care of their health at home.
That’s why after careful thinking, I decided to radically change gears and combine my writing skills with my medical skills, and create this newsletter for everyone to learn from—away from the system. This way I can offer a medical consultation (my way) where we can all benefit from: patients, doctors and healthcare systems alike. By learning the basics, you can prevent more at home, you can better communicate with your local doctor, and we can all together help decongest the system, even if just a bit.
Utopian? Yes.
Possible? 10000% Yes!
I’m here to make this possible. And I need your help to build it.
This is why I want to invite you to join me as a paid subscriber—with a special discount.❤️
I want to offer you a 25% Off Forever-Discount on paid subscriptions (as my Christmas/Anniversary celebration) for you to benefit from everything I’m bringing in 2025!
Meaning, you get to upgrade from free to paid on 25% discount that will remain for you forever. By doing this, you’ll be helping me continue building this vital work.
I really want you to not miss a thing!
To summarise, this is what you will get as a Paid Subscriber:
Two monthly in-depth special editions of the new Feel Good series: ‘Basics Matter’ — a deep dive into the main six systems of the human body, how they work, how you can take good care of them, and how their healthy function can impact your future.

*NEW* Audio versions of newsletters — to make it easier for you to learn on the go. All the best health guidance and advice right on your pockets (and in your headphones). Coming January 2025.
