Health and fitness are two of the most searched resolutions in the new year. Our providers share which resolutions they wish patients would actually stick to! 👩‍⚕️

Ready to start 2026 on the right foot?
Here are 5 realistic, kidney-smart resolutions that Dr. Doyle recommends for better health this year:

⏰ Start small, stay consistent
Tiny steps (like 10 minutes of movement or less salt at dinner) can make a big impact over time and encourage you to follow through on your goals.

💧 Hydrate and nourish wisely
Every kidney is different! That’s why we work with you to find what works best. If diet is something you're considering shifting in the new year, consult with Ella at ANC (our in-house dietician!)

🏃‍♀️ Move in a way that works for you
Intense workouts are not the default for practicing a balanced lifestyle. Even gentle, regular movement supports blood pressure and kidney health, so do what works best for you!

💊 Take your meds and check in
Stay on track with regular check-ups and talk to your provider about any challenges. There are more options than ever.

✅ Set goals that last
Your kidneys are with you for the long haul; your goals should be too. Let’s make 2026 your healthiest year yet.
