Join Lisa & Dr. Ryan on Mondays...for some great information.
Here is the Transcript and video from 12-15-2025 session.
Hello everybody!
Hi guys! Thanks so much for joining us.
Does everybody feel the stress coming on?
We’ve got the countdown… 10 days till Christmas
And Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate.
It’s a crazy busy time of year, and today we’re bringing up a topic that comes up toward the end of every year.
New Year, Same You
How to create real health changes that actually last.
Because we all know what happens…
Most people start strong, and by March, they stop. That three-month mark gets almost everyone.
Why?
Because most people try to change everything at once.

A different approach
This is not the same stuff you hear every year.
I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about the most common New Year’s resolutions:
Move more
Eat healthier
Make more money
Lose weight
Same list. Every year.
So today we’re still talking about health, but in a different way.

Why most people fail (and it’s not motivation)
Most people don’t fail their New Year’s resolutions because they lack motivation.
They fail because they’re fighting their biology.
Too aggressive
Pushing too hard
Starting in the wrong place
New Year motivation is predictable and temporary.
It usually drops off around the three-month mark.
The real issue is that we try to change behavior without changing physiology.
Blood sugar swings
Nutrient deficiencies
Inflammation
Poor sleep
All of these sabotage willpower.
And stress hormones override good intentions every time.
---
It’s not a “new you”
You don’t need a new you.
It’s the same you — you just need better support.
Trying to force massive change creates rebound effects. Instead, we focus on three pillars.
---
Pillar 1: Stabilize before you optimize
You cannot build good habits on a dysregulated body.
It’s like building a house on a bad foundation.
Simple strategies that make a big difference:
Eat your protein first
Protein keeps you fuller, supports muscle, and boosts metabolism.
Standing in the kitchen deciding between cereal or eggs? Choose protein.
Protein powder is another easy option — fast, simple, and effective.
Hydrate before caffeine
Hydrate with electrolytes before coffee or energy drinks.
This one is easy. Drink your hydration first every morning.
Minerals before motivation
If you’re nutrient deficient, motivation won’t stick.
Daily basics include a multivitamin and magnesium.
Fix sleep before adding workouts
If sleep is off and you pile on workouts, burnout happens.
Optimize sleep first.
If sleep is your struggle going into the new year, make that your number one goal.
---
Foundational five
This is baseline nutrient repletion:
Multivitamin
Magnesium
Vitamin D with K2
Omega-3 (Factor 4 Inflammation)
Probiotic
This foundation should be in place before moving to advanced goals.
---
Pillar 2: Reduce friction, not just add effort
Most resolutions fail because people add too much too fast.
“I’m going to work out six days a week.”
“I’m cutting all carbs.”
Too aggressive leads to burnout.
Better strategy: habit stacking
Attach supplements to things you already do.
If you work out, add essential aminos or creatine.
If you eat healthy, add fiber.
If mornings are busy, use a protein shake.
Focus on one habit at a time.
Daily or weekly changes are more sustainable.
Remove decision fatigue
Routine supports consistency.
Same breakfast.
Same supplement timing.
Same general schedule.
Perfection isn’t required. Consistency is.
---
Pillar 3: Support the nervous system
If the nervous system is stressed, progress stalls.
Chronic stress leads to:
Weight loss resistance
Poor sleep
Brain fog
Cravings
Calm bodies adapt faster than stressed bodies.
Nervous system support can include magnesium, sleep support, CBD products where available, and mental clarity supplements.
When stress goes down, everything gets easier.
---
Work with your personality and life
Not a morning person? Don’t force early workouts.
Low-energy day? Walk instead of pushing hard.
Hard day? Choose soothing foods.
Meet yourself where you are.

Final thoughts
You’re not broken.
You don’t need more discipline.
You need better support.
Progress over perfection.
Micro changes over massive overhauls.
Same year, same you — just better supported.
