Brenda Smith Sellers Wellness Wellness is personal, and I’m sharing what’s helped me feel stronger and more balanced in my own journey. These products support me. Why Choose Health?

Not intended to diagnose or cure illness. You’ve likely heard the saying, “We are what we eat.”
But health is more than food alone — it’s how we choose to care for ourselves each day. Think of your body as something truly valuable. Just like a well-loved vehicle needs proper fuel, routine care, and attention to perform at its best, our bodies need consistent nourishment and support. Hydration, whole foods, greens, smoothies, protein, probiotics, and mindful supplementation all play a role in supporting overall wellness and vitality. A vehicle can be repaired, replaced, or traded in. Our health cannot. Choosing health is choosing to honour your body — not out of perfection, but out of respect. It’s about making intentional choices that support energy, balance, and long-term well-being. When we care for our health, we allow ourselves to grow stronger, feel better, and step forward as the healthiest version of ourselves — one day at a time. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

You know what's incredibly hard—and exhausting to me—to live with every single day. Losing your gallbladder isn’t “minor” when it turns food into a constant risk instead of a comfort.

I have to avoid high-fat foods (fried foods, bacon, sausage, ground beef, ribs, chicken skin), dairy (which I'm allergic to), eggs, wheat, processed and sugary foods, coffee, tea, chocolate, and anything spicy. That’s not a preference—that’s survival. And the reality that one wrong bite can leave you painfully bloated, looking six months pregnant, is something most people never have to think about.

People often say, “Just eat a little” or “One won’t hurt”—but for me, it does hurt. Daily. Physically. Emotionally. Socially. All because your body no longer has the organ that helped manage fats the way it used to.

“How would you like to live like this every day?”
It’s not about willpower or being picky—it’s about adapting to a body that plays by different rules now.

It’s easy to think that if you want to lose fat, you need to focus on cardio, and if you want muscle, you need to lift weights.

The truth is, strength training can help with fat loss and vice versa!
• Strength training helps build lean muscle, which revs up metabolism and burns fat even when you’re resting.
• Fat loss doesn’t mean you need to cut all carbs or eat less, it’s about balancing your calories and nutrient intake for energy.
• Combining the two is a win-win. You get the muscle tone AND the fat loss.

This week, try to incorporate both into your routine:
• Lift weights or do bodyweight exercises 2–3 times per week.
• Add in some moderate-intensity cardio (walking, swimming, cycling) for balance.

How do you feel about strength training? Are you a fan, or are you still warming up to it? Let’s chat in the comments!

If your January goals already feel harder than you expected… you’re not broken, you’re normal. Today is often called “Quitter’s Day” (the second Friday of January) because it’s a common drop-off point for New Year goals.

You’ll even see an often-shared stat that around 80% of people abandon their resolutions by mid-January (a pattern popularized using fitness app data).

Most people don’t quit because they “don’t want it.” They quit because the plan is too rigid, too big, or tied to guilt instead of meaning.

That’s why a strong why matters, not a motivational quote, but a real reason you care.

Today, don’t quit. Instead, do one of these two smart moves:
1. Re-evaluate: If your goal isn’t actually what you want in 2026, it’s okay to adjust it. (That’s wisdom, not failure.)
2. Change the approach: If you do want it, shrink the plan, make it 10% easier so you can stay consistent.

Finish this sentence in the comments:
“My 2026 goal matters to me because ______.”
And if you’re adjusting your goal, what are you changing, the goal, or the approach?

🌱 Fun fact! Your gut health is a game-changer for your overall well-being.

Your gut does way more than just process food, it has a huge role in how you feel, think, and move. It impacts immunity, energy, mood, and even weight management.

💪 Immunity: Did you know about 70% of your immune system lives in your gut? A balanced gut helps protect you from illness and keeps your defense system strong.
⚖️ Weight Management: A healthy gut helps you manage weight more effectively. It’s not just about what you eat, but how your gut handles it!
💡 Energy: When your gut’s happy, you’re happy — more energy, fewer crashes, and better focus.
🧠 Mental Health: Your gut plays a major role in your mood and mental clarity. That’s why it’s often called your “second brain.”

With the holidays behind us, now’s the perfect time to give your gut some love. Be mindful of what you eat. What you eat can make a huge difference in how you feel and function. 🌿

If workouts feel like punishment, consistency won’t last. The plan has to fit real life.

The best movement is the one that’s enjoyable enough to repeat. Consistency beats intensity, especially in the first weeks of January.

Pick one “fun movement” to try this week:
• Walk + favorite playlist
• YouTube dance workout
• Beginner strength video
• Swim/skate/sport
• “Walk and talk” phone call

💬 What kind of movement do you actually enjoy (or want to try)? Drop one idea below — it might inspire someone else.

Looking for one small way to feel better this week? Cut sugar and salt in your meals! Sneaky sugar and salt can leave you feeling bloated and drained — but the good news? You don’t need a full diet overhaul. Just swap a few everyday staples!

Smart Swaps to Start With:
🍫 Flavored yogurt → Plain Greek yogurt + fruit
🥣 Sugary cereal → Overnight oats with cinnamon & berries
🥤 Soda or juice → Sparkling water with lemon or berries
🍟 Frozen fries → Baked sweet potato wedges
🥫 Canned soup → Homemade veggie soup (lower sodium!)
🍗 Deli meats →️ Grilled chicken or turkey slices

Why it matters? Balanced blood sugar and hydration = steadier energy, clearer skin, better digestion, and fewer cravings.

Pick one swap to try this week and notice how you feel, your body will thank you.

Post-holiday fatigue? I call it the Holiday Hangover.
After a chaotic (but joy-filled!) December full of events, travel, and maybe one too many cookies... January hits with less movement, longer work days, and possibly a couple extra pounds.

This is totally normal! You didn’t “fall off.” Your body is just asking for a gentle reset. Don't even think of doing something extreme, just ease back into balance, one gentle step at a time.

So let’s start with what it actually needs:
✅ Magnesium-rich foods (like nuts, seeds, and leafy greens) — great for mood + blood sugar balance
✅ Restful, consistent sleep — so you feel less irritable and more refreshed
✅ Protein + fiber — to support digestion and keep you full if you’re feeling weight-conscious
✅ Short daily walks or movement you enjoy

✨ No guilt. No “all-or-nothing” mindset. Just small, supportive steps that bring your body back into balance.

💬 Which one of these is easiest for you to start with today? Comment below, I’ll cheer you on!

1. Stop feeling guilty about overeating during the holidays. Instead focus on getting back to your healthy habits.

2. Don't weigh yourself yet. It will take time for you to shed those extra pounds.

3. Get rid of all the leftovers that are not part of your healthy eating plan.

4. Go for a nice long walk. It will help burn off the calories and even out your blood sugar.

5. Sleep it off. Sleep deprivation has been associated with an increased appetite so make sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

6. Go back to your regular eating pattern. Skipping meals doesn't help you recover from binge eating. It may even enhance your cravings leading to another binge.

7. Stay hydrated. Water helps with digestion and fights sodium and carb bloat.

8. Try yoga. Yoga helps promote healthy eating habits and may help prevent emotional eating by reducing stress, depression and anxiety.

9. Develop a regular exercise routine.

10. Practice mindful eating.

✨ Welcome, 2026.

After the fullness of the holiday season, this is your space to slow down, breathe deep, and begin again, gently. What if the new year didn’t mean doing more, but being more present?

A soft reset might be just what your body and mind need. That could look like:
1. Hydrating before caffeine
2. Choosing one balanced meal a day
3. Settling into earlier nights and slower mornings, or
4. Moving in ways that restore instead of drain

This year, may your health goals feel like self-love, not self-pressure! You’re not behind. You’re right on time. 🌟
