This Wednesday, Dr. K is hosting a live conversation for anyone feeling stuck with weight loss and hearing more and more about GLP-1.

This will be a clinical, grounded discussion that moves past polarized opinions and focuses on context, physiology, and informed decision-making.

This is a live webinar and will not be recorded.

If you’ve been curious about GLP-1, this is the space to explore it thoughtfully.

Is GLP-1 a miracle drug, or is that the wrong question?

The conversation around GLP-1 has become increasingly polarized. On one side, it’s framed as a quick fix. On the other, it’s dismissed outright.

The reality is more nuanced.

In this live webinar, Dr. K will walk through:
• who GLP-1 may be appropriate for
• when caution is warranted
• how lifestyle medicine remains foundational
• and how to think through your options with clarity, not pressure

Join us Wednesday, January 21 at 4:30 pm ET
Live on Zoom (no recording)

There’s a lot of noise around weight loss, and GLP-1 is right at the center of it.

Dr. K is hosting a live webinar to slow the conversation down and look at GLP-1 and sustainable weight loss through a metabolic, lifestyle-based lens grounded in physiology and long-term outcomes.

2025 was a meaningful year.

We reflected what matters most to us: creating space for informed conversations, collaborative care, and opportunities to gather—both in person and online—around health that is thoughtful and evidence-informed.

We’re grateful for the moments that shaped the year:
• Celebrating 5 years of serving our community
• Gathering 300 women to join the conversation on menopause
• Nearly $5,000 raised and donated to local causes
• 12 community webinars and masterclasses taught
• 2 community cleanses, centered on education and sustainable change

Behind each number is a person — a question asked, a story shared, a step toward feeling better understood in their health.

Thank you for being part of this community.

As we move into 2026, our intention remains the same: to offer grounded education, collaborative care, and a place where health conversations are informed, supportive, and whole-person.

Your body isn’t just reacting to light. It is creating it.

Bio photon signals reflect inflammation, metabolic stress, and the systems that regulate pain.

In next week’s webinar, Dr. Ben will break down how this connects to the POMC pathway and chronic pain recovery.

Giveaway #5 🎁 Initial Assessment + 40-Minute Osteopathic Treatment

Osteopathy is one of the most effective ways to address mechanical stress in the body — especially the patterns that build over time from posture, injury, or nervous system load.

Jeff’s approach is precise and individualized. He assesses how your joints, tissues, and nervous system are working together, then applies hands-on treatment to restore mobility, reduce strain, and improve overall function.

Ideal if you’ve been dealing with back or neck pain, sciatica, postural issues, headaches, jaw discomfort, or that general sense that your body just isn’t moving the way it should.
