Your brain is capable of change. That ability is called neuroplasticity.

Understanding how the brain adapts over time can help explain why some treatments focus on restoring healthy activity patterns rather than masking symptoms.

“My hand is at the small of your back; I may let you stumble, but I will never let you fall.” — Maya Angelou

January is Mental Wellness Month, a time to honor emotional care, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Dr. Angelou reminds us that we are not meant to navigate life alone — that support, love, and compassion can hold us steady even when we falter.

Caring for our mental well-being is not a weakness. It is an act of courage, trust, and self-preservation.

You are allowed to stumble. You are never meant to fall alone. 🤍

When Stacy began NeuroStar TMS, depression had left her drained, disconnected, and unsure if anything could help. But as treatment progressed, she started feeling better, first in small ways, then in life-changing ones.

Her energy returned. She became more present with friends and family. Her creativity resurfaced, and she even began working with her provider to safely reduce her antidepressant dosage. Today, Stacy feels happier, more engaged, and excited about her future again.

Her journey is a reminder that hope and healing are possible.

If you’re exploring what comes next, NeuroStar may help. Schedule a consultation to learn more.

“Today our government declares war on added sugar.”
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

As part of the newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, the Trump administration is officially shifting the national nutrition narrative…and it’s long overdue.

For the first time, federal guidelines are clearly urging Americans to:
• Eat more protein and whole foods
• Cut back on added sugar
• Avoid highly processed foods like chips, cookies, candy, and refined carbs
• Embrace healthy fats including olive oil, butter, and beef tallow
• Move away from the failed MyPlate model and toward an inverted food pyramid that prioritizes real food

This guidance comes after years of worsening metabolic health, rising obesity, and diet-related chronic disease…and reflects what we’ve been saying for decades: food is medicine.

Rather than obsessing over calorie math or demonizing traditional foods, the new framework emphasizes quality…whole foods, fewer additives, and less sugar driving inflammation and insulin resistance.

It’s also a clear sign that the “low-fat, ultra-processed” experiment hasn’t worked. And it opens the door for a more honest conversation about how we fuel our bodies…especially our kids.

Take a moment to recognize what a real win this is—for every American who has spoken up, asked better questions, and fought for the health of their families and future generations.
