Hi Buddies,

Best of Autumn

Autumn brings more than changing leaves — it offers natural ways to support your health. From nutrient-packed foods to mood-boosting scents and movement that fits shorter days, here are three simple ways to feel your best this season.

Seasonal Food Spotlight: Apples

Crunchy, versatile, and satisfying — apples are a fall-friendly powerhouse. They’re high in fiber, vitamin C, and various antioxidants. Slice them into oatmeal, toss them in a salad, or just snack on one raw for a crisp, natural boost. Here’s a recipe for Baked Apple Chips that sound perfect.

The Power of Cozy Spices

Cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove aren’t just nostalgic flavors — they carry real perks. They’ve been linked to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and may even support better focus or steadier blood sugar levels. For a deeper dive, check out this Harvard Health post on brain-healthy spices.

Movement for Shorter Days

As daylight fades, it’s tempting to hunker in — but a 10–15 minute walk outside can do wonders for mood and clarity. If evenings feel too dim, try catching the morning light instead. Don’t forget: a few body weight movements or a dance break inside work just as well.

Autumn has its own kind of rhythm. I’d love to know what small seasonal rituals keep you feeling healthy and grounded.

Hi Buddies,

Sometimes the smallest shifts spark the biggest changes. Here are three quick ways to refresh your routine this week. Choose one, two, three or any combo of these small challenges that speak to you.

Which of these quick hits would you try first?

Nutrition: 3-Day Whole-Food Tune-Up
Feeling sluggish? A short reset can help. For three days, keep things simple: fill your plate with whole foods — think colorful veggies, lean proteins, fresh fruit, and whole grains. Skip the ultra-processed snacks and sugary extras. Three days isn’t long, but it’s enough to notice clearer energy, fewer cravings, and a lighter mood.

Movement: Flexibility Refresh
We tend to think of fitness as steps or strength, but flexibility is just as important. For the next three days, spend 5–10 minutes stretching. Morning shoulder rolls, a hamstring stretch after your walk, or even a gentle yoga flow before bed. Flexibility helps with posture, balance, and everyday ease — plus, it feels good.

Mindset/Sleep: Evening Reset
Your brain and body love routine. Try a 3-day mini wind-down ritual: turn off screens 30 minutes before bed, jot down tomorrow’s to-dos, and make the space dark and cool. You might be surprised how quickly your sleep quality improves — and how much calmer your evenings feel.

Some more tidbits….

Enjoying a nap in the afternoon could up your protection against colds. Even if you’re not tired enough to actually sleep. Researchers reporting in the Annals of Medicine and Surgery explain that taking time each day to unwind and de-stress for as little as 15 mins prompts your immune system to make more of the germ-killing white blood cells called neutrophils.

Yoga can be a mood-boosting exercise. A study found doing a few minutes of yoga daily can chase away blue moods as effectively as brisk walks can. The slow motions and deep stretches signal your nervous system to increase production of the uplifting hormones serotonin and dopamine.

A study in the journal Heart found that enjoying a daily (or almost daily) bath helps steady blood pressure and flush out inflammation, slowing the aging of blood vessels and organs while boosting protection against heart disease and stroke.

This Week in Wellness: 3 Quick Hits

Trends 2025: Plant-First & Gut Health Still Reigning
Nutrition pros are calling 2025 the year of “plant-forward, gut-friendly” eating. Fermented foods, leafy greens, whole grains — these are showing up in trend reports as go-to moves. The Food Institute
Takeaway: The trend underscores what’s sustainable: small shifts, not extremes. Push your brain toward the “more of this” mindset, not “all or nothing.”

Ultra-Processed Foods Slow Down Weight Loss
A controlled trial had people eat equally balanced diets—one group leaned heavily on ultra-processed foods (UPFs), the other on minimally processed ones. The MPF group lost roughly 2 % body weight in 8 weeks vs. ~1 % in the UPF group. Financial Times
Takeaway: Food processing may matter as much as macros. Choosing less-processed options can give you more bang for your effort.

Study Highlight: More Aerobic Activity = More Fat Loss
A meta-analysis of 116 randomized clinical trials (6,880 adults) found that doing aerobic exercise at moderate to vigorous intensity for at least 150 minutes per week led to meaningful reductions in waist circumference, body fat, and weight. Each extra 30 minutes per week was linked with incremental benefits. PMC
Takeaway: You don’t need to go all in to get results. Hitting ~150 minutes of moderate cardio (brisk walking, cycling, swimming) gives you a strong chance at visible change. Add more if you want more gain.

Coffee Time with Tealady - Are you thinking big picture?

Hi Buddies,

You’re working out… so why isn’t the scale moving?

You’ve been showing up. You’ve been sweating. You’ve been good.

So… where are the results?

Here’s the truth:
It’s not the workout — it’s everything around it.

Your body changes because of the whole picture, not just the hour you spend in the gym. And the sneaky culprits stealing your results?

Your food isn’t matching your goals. Exercise burns calories, but it doesn’t erase a weekend free-for-all.
You’re not moving enough outside workouts. If you sit all day, you undo a lot of the good.
You’re not getting enough protein. Without it, your body can’t build the lean muscle that boosts your burn.
You’re skimping on sleep. Tired bodies cling to fat and crave junk.

The fix?
Keep showing up for workouts, yes — but also:

Aim for 8,000–10,000 steps a day. Think of it as movement insurance for your gym time.
Get 20–30g of protein in each meal. Your muscles need building blocks. Feed them.
Prioritize 7+ hours of sleep. Recovery isn’t lazy — it’s essential.

Do these consistently, and your workouts will finally start paying off.

Because it’s not about working harder… it’s about working smarter.

Kickstart your day: drinking warm water

Hi Buddies,

I’m a big proponent of staying hydrated. I like water and I like herbal teas. Both are great ways to keep ourselves hydrated but recently I was reading about the benefits of drinking a cup of warm water first thing in the morning. The benefits I came across are huge! I read that it can aid digestion, detoxification, boosts your metabolism and can aid in weight loss. There’s more...drinking a cup of warm water can also support skin health, anti-aging, eases nasal congestion and a sore throat, promotes relaxation and reduces stress. I thought that was a big ask from a mere 8oz of warm water.

I decided to try it myself. First thing I put on the electric kettle and before it could boil I shut it off and poured myself a mug. I added a little bit of fresh lemon juice, more for flavor than any health benefits. I sipped at it as I browsed through the WeightLossBuddy app. Before long, I belched a little. I heard a grumbling in my tummy and then it seemed to settle down. I really felt pretty good. About 20 mins later I had breakfast. It was a nice way to start off the day...give it a try and let me know what you think.

Hi Buddies,

I know we believe that the scale is the ultimate tell all in how we are progressing with our weight loss goals. That’s not necessarily true. I know that when I exercise and have a little soreness the scale goes up. The reason is that muscles pull in water to help them recover. Travel can impact the scale. Hormones, stress and lack of sleep all affect that little number between your feet.

Celebrating non-scale victories also known as NSV’s are so important. NSV’s are improvements you’ve made to yourself that a scale can’t measure. You would have a more accurate picture of your progress by acknowledging these small victories as you experience them.

Your clothes fit better than they used to.
You sleep better.
Your skin looks better.
You’ve lost inches.
Your blood work has improved.
Your waist feels thinner.
You feel stronger.

One of my favorites is the feeling that you take up less space. You may feel a little silly saying “hey, I take up less space” but yet….you know that you do.
