Wellness Wednesday: As we head into the holidays, it’s so easy to eat a little more than usual during all the festivities. Don’t forget to keep moving! Exercise doesn’t have to mean running. You can go biking, walking, hiking, play with children, or hop on an elliptical or stationary bike.

After Thanksgiving dinner, get everyone outside for a game of kickball, shoot hoops, play catch, or start a Wii boxing tournament inside! Enjoy the people around you, stay present, and keep choosing small habits that lead to a healthier you in 2026. 💪🍁

Did you know the average American sits 10–11 hours a day? 😳 All that sitting adds up, and it’s linked to higher risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health issues.

But here’s the good news: even 10 extra minutes of movement a day (yes, even a walk to the mailbox!) can make a big difference. 🚶‍♀️✨

What’s your favorite way to get moving?
Biking? Walking? Running? Chasing kids? Chores around your home? 💪

Let’s aim for 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week. Your future self will thank you! 💛

Did you know heart attacks go up by as much as 15% during the winter holidays?
Take a minute to protect yourself and your family by knowing the warning signs.

Stroke: Think FAST
• Face drooping
• Arm weakness
• Speech difficulty
• Time to call 911

Heart Attack:
Chest pain is the classic sign, but women often experience symptoms that feel more like reflux, pressure, or pain radiating down the left arm or into the jaw.

If you or someone you love has chest pain or any stroke symptoms, don’t wait. Time matters—it can save your brain and your heart!

As the holidays draw near, let’s take a moment to talk about stress. 🎄 Family gatherings, holiday plans, and budgets can all add up quickly. Remember to slow down. Journal, practice gratitude, take a few deep breaths, or go for a short walk (even just down the driveway!). Make time for the holiday moments you truly enjoy. Your health matters, and reducing stress helps you breathe a little deeper this season. 🎁

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans Today 🇺🇸

As we celebrate Veteran’s Day, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have served our country. 💙

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, but for many Veterans, especially those who’ve experienced combat, those struggles can run deep. The good news is that therapy has come a long way in the past decade. For those facing PTSD, EMDR therapy has shown incredible results and can be truly life-changing.

If you have questions or want to learn more, please don’t hesitate to reach out. And remember, even simple practices like journaling can help calm the mind, ease anxiety, and bring clarity.

Thank you, Veterans, for your courage and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

There are some snowflakes floating around out there today! Unfortunately, so are LOTS of germs!🦠

Here’s how you can boost your immune system to fight back:

• Eat lots of fruits + veggies
• Get enough Vitamin C and Zinc (through food or supplements)
• Wash hands regularly with soap + water
• Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep a night
• Drink plenty of water

Small daily habits make a big difference in keeping your body strong during flu + virus season! 💪

The days are getting shorter, and we’re heading into the cooler seasons where sunlight is limited. That also means we naturally absorb less Vitamin D.

Most people see their Vitamin D levels drop through the winter, and low Vitamin D can increase risk for low mood or seasonal depression.

This is a GREAT time of year to get outside in the middle of the day, and also come in and get your Vitamin D level checked!

Get your labs done before the end of the year so you can head into January feeling your best. 🌞💪

I read a shocking stat this week:

1 out of 3 American adults (96 million people!) have pre-diabetes… and 80% of them have no idea.
And honestly…I believe it. Multiple times every month I have to tell someone they have pre-diabetes or diabetes and they had NO clue.

Diabetes isn’t just “a little high sugar.”
It raises your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, vision loss, nerve damage, and even memory issues.

And yes — what we eat matters.
The amount of sugar the average American eats daily is directly driving this problem.

As we head into the holidays, start paying attention to your sugar intake. Read labels! Small shifts actually add up.

And for my 21 Day Challenge people — doing a 21 day cleanse/reset every 30-60 days can make a massive dent in preventing this trajectory.

Your future health really does start with what you choose today. 💛
