I am so excited to be at the Plantrician Project conference this year! I am already learning so much. Now if you know this guy - I am so excited to hear him speak this afternoon. (I don’t think I have ever gone up to anyone famous and asked for a picture but I couldn’t resist today.) If you already know who it is you know I am lucky. If you do not know who it is you need to read Fiber Fueled. Your gut will thank you!

Feeling bloated? Ask yourself, how many of these types of whole organic foods are you consuming each day? 🍏🥕🥑🥦

If you find raw veggies are a bit harder on your stomach, start with steamed or roasted as it’s easier for your body to digest.

Dr. Young has a challenge to get at least 30 different types of plants in their diet each week. If you’re at the grocery store this weekend, grab a couple new plants you haven’t eaten in awhile.

It really is true that we need to eat the rainbow.

Recipe of The Week!🍓🫐

At our Third Thursday workshop last month, Cassie Tolman (our Holistic Nutrition Coach) showed us all how to make this delicious plant-based recipe!

Whether you want a sweet & healthy snack to cap the day, or need an appetizer idea for a gathering, this wowed us all! We had chocolate lips and happy hearts. This is 100% worth it and only takes minutes to whip up.

Try it and let us know what you think! 🍓🍫

“Labor Day isn’t just about taking a break from work—it’s about honoring the importance of rest, rhythm, and resilience.”

At Sozo, we believe true health starts with the foundations—good rest, real connection, nourishing movement, and caring for the body that carries you through it all.

This Labor Day, we’re wishing you a moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and simply be.

💛 Here's to a day of rest, renewal, and gratitude.

You’ve tried it all—new diets, new exercise plans, new health hacks. Yet progress still feels painfully slow. You know how you want to feel: strong, energized, confident in your body and future. But instead, you feel stuck, like years are slipping by with only tiny changes.

And while the struggle drags on, time is being wasted. Each year of “trying on your own” means missing out on energy to play with your kids, the confidence to show up fully, the freedom of knowing your health is in your hands—not dictated by medication. The risks only grow: prediabetes turning into diabetes, blood pressure climbing into dangerous territory, and the slow fading of the vibrant life you were meant to live.

You’re not alone. The truth is, lasting change doesn’t happen in isolation. We all need support, guidance, and accountability.

That’s where our team at Sozo Lifestyle Medicine comes in.

Through our Lifestyle Transformation Package, you’ll work alongside a dedicated team of professionals who see your unique story. Dr. Maryrose Young, Direct Primary Care physician and founder of Sozo, will partner with you every step of the way, alongside Cassie, our nutrition coach, and Melissa, our stress management coach. Together, they’ll guide you with small, strategic steps—helping you break old cycles, build new habits, and giving you the accountability to keep going when willpower fades. You’ll be seen, heard, and supported with a plan built around your life, your goals, and your obstacles.

Because transformation isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about consistency, accountability, and support over time. That’s why this package is a 6-month commitment. Real change takes time, but six months of guidance and support can change the trajectory of your next 30 years.
Yes, it’s an investment. But think about what you’re gaining: health, freedom, energy, confidence, and a future you don’t have to fear.

⭐️ There is still time to finish 2025 stronger, healthier and happier than ever.

Hi! I’m Dr. Maryrose Young—an Arizona native, wife, and mom of four. For nearly two decades, I’ve worked in the ER, treating patients at their most critical moments. But what broke my heart was seeing so many people suffer from illnesses that could have been prevented with the right support, tools, and time.

That’s why I opened Sozo Lifestyle Medicine. Here, I finally get the chance to slow down and really know my patients—their families, their stories, their goals. My focus isn’t just on quick fixes, but on helping people build sustainable habits that support long-term health, reduce medications and keep them out of the emergency room as much as possible.

Sozo is more than a clinic—it’s a community. It’s a place where relationships matter, where lifestyle is at the center of care, and where you have a partner in your health journey.

If you’ve been looking for a doctor who listens and walks alongside you, I’d love to meet you. 💛

🥗 Have you ever noticed how what you eat shapes how you feel? A night of sugar or alcohol can leave you groggy, anxious, or irritable the next day—but when your meals are centered on plants and whole foods, the opposite happens.

Research shows that diets rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds—like the Mediterranean and other traditional eating patterns—are linked to a 25–35% lower risk of depression compared to diets heavy in processed foods. Whole foods nourish your gut microbiome, reduce inflammation, and stabilize blood sugar—all of which directly influence your mood and energy.

🌿 That’s what our upcoming FREE Food & Mood Workshop is all about. Join Nutrition Coach Cassie Tolman and Stress Management Coach Melissa Lewis-Duarte, Ph.D., with Dr. Young, as we explore together:

- The gut–brain axis and why it matters

- How anti-inflammatory, plant-forward meals boost mood

- The way stress impacts digestion

- Mindfulness tools to make better food choices

✨ Food is more than fuel—it’s a foundation for how you feel every single day.

Your body runs on a clock — and it’s time to set it right. ⏰

Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal 24-hour timer, controlling sleep, energy, mood, digestion, and even hormones. But stress, screens, irregular schedules, and late nights can throw it off.

The good news? Small, consistent habits—like waking up at the same time each day, getting morning sunlight, eating at regular times, and winding down with calm activities—can reset your rhythm and help you sleep better, feel more energized, and boost overall health.

☀️A good night’s sleep starts during the day. Start making your schedule work with your body, not against it.
