Fuel your body for a thriving 2026! Set a goal to incorporate more plant-based meals—studies from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health link higher fruit and veggie intake to lower BMI and reduced type 2 diabetes risk. Try filling half your plate with colorful produce. What's your go-to healthy recipe? 🥗

Welcome to 2026! Kick off the year strong with regular movement. The American Heart Association shows 150 min/week of moderate exercise cuts heart disease risk by up to 30%. Start with daily walks—consistency wins! 💪 Who's in?

01/06/2026

As we start 2026, remember this:
You don’t need perfection to make progress — you need consistency.

The last year may have had wins, setbacks, or both. That’s normal. What matters is that you keep moving forward, learning, and building better habits one day at a time.

2026 doesn’t require a “new you.”
It just needs a slightly better version of the one you already are.

01/02/2026

There’s a lot of pressure around “starting fresh” in January.
Here’s the truth: you don’t need a massive overhaul.

Lasting health is built with small, repeatable habits — not dramatic resets that burn out by February.

Use this time of the year to reflect, not criticize.
Then choose one habit to carry into the new year.

The end of the year isn’t about judging yourself — it’s about learning.

If 2025 taught you anything about your health, use that insight to make smarter, more sustainable changes going forward.

That’s the philosophy behind Take a Load Off — realistic expectations, evidence-based tools, and a plan that actually fits real life.

Start the new year prepared, not pressured:

As the year comes to a close, many people start thinking about how they want to feel in the year ahead — healthier, stronger, more confident.

That’s exactly why I wrote Take a Load Off.
It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about building a foundation for long-term health, especially for those navigating GLP-1 medications.

If you’re ready to start 2026 with clarity and confidence, this is a great place to begin:

Health goals don’t stick when they’re based on guilt.
They stick when they’re based on identity.

Instead of saying, “I’m trying to be healthier,” ask:
“What would a healthy version of me do today?”

That mindset shift is how habits become lifestyles.

12/22/2025

You don’t need to wait for January 1st to start improving your health.

Every day between now and the new year is an opportunity to build momentum — even if it’s just a short walk, better hydration, or an earlier bedtime.

Small actions now make January feel easier.

Huge news to close out the year — Take a Load Off officially hit #6 on Amazon!
I wrote this book to make life easier for anyone navigating weight loss, mindset change, and the overwhelm that comes with trying to get healthy in a busy world.

If you or someone you love is on (or considering) a GLP-1 medication… this book makes the perfect December gift.

It’s practical. It’s encouraging. And it’s designed to help people succeed long after the medication stops.

Most people don’t have a motivation problem — they have an inflammation problem.

Chronic low-grade inflammation drains energy, alters mood, increases pain, worsens sleep, and destroys metabolic health.

It’s not just discomfort.
It’s a disease process.

The most effective ways to lower inflammation aren’t exotic:
✔ Strength training
✔ Cardio
✔ Reducing ultra-processed foods
✔ Quality sleep
✔ Stress control
✔ Meaningful relationships
✔ Avoiding chronic overwork

Inflammation is one of the biggest long-term killers — and it’s massively under-diagnosed.

Your metabolic health is more important than your weight.

Weight can be misleading.
But your metabolic markers?
They tell the truth.

The real indicators of health are:
• Fasting glucose
• A1c
• Blood pressure
• Triglycerides
• HDL
• Waist circumference
• VO₂ max
• Strength levels

If we treated metabolic health with the same urgency as weight, we’d prevent millions of chronic diseases.

This is what modern primary care should focus on.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to improve your health, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly why I wrote my book.

Take a Load Off gives you the blueprint I use with patients to simplify the process, lower the pressure, and help you finally build momentum.
