Your brain runs on fat. Your hormones signal through fat. Your cells are built from fat.

Your body is built on structure! Omega Plus essential fatty acids are one of the most “basic” things we use because they support the body's foundation.

Are you trying to speed-up results with crash diets, stimulants, skipping meals, grinding through stress, and zero recovery?

You're overloading and need to get back to the basics!

Tomorrow I’m going to show you one of the basic “builder nutrients” we use clinically to support brain, inflammation, cell integrity, and hormone signaling.

Dr. Phil here! I’ve been reading about Charles M. Hays whose motto is “Never sacrifice safety to speed.” This can so easily be applied to our health!

The human body doesn’t respond to pressure. It responds to structure through the basics done consistently.

Follow along this week as I'll be exploring how to get back to the basics!

Blood work reveals your A1C, helping you understand whether your habits are working.

For some people, targeted nutrients can support healthier glucose handling alongside lifestyle. We commonly use Glucofactor IR to assist insulin signaling and glucose metabolism, especially when labs or symptoms suggest insulin resistance.

A1C is unique!

For some people, targeted nutrients can support healthier glucose handling alongside lifestyle. We commonly use OptiALA Berberine in practice as a blood sugar metabolism support.

Tips to improve A1C:
1. 10-minute walk after meals
2. Protein-first meals
3. Meal timing (stop grazing)
4. Improve sleep (sleep changes blood sugar faster than most people think)

If you do only one thing this week, walk! Consistency beats intensity.

A1C can climb with little to no symptoms.

Sneaky Signs:
- afternoon crashes
- cravings / nighttime snacking
- brain fog
- waking up in the night
- stubborn belly fat

Tip:
Pick one for the next 7 days:
- 12-hour overnight fast (ex: finish dinner by 7, breakfast after 7)
- 10-minute walk after meals
- protein at breakfast

Optional support:
If you want clarity through testing, ask your doctor for A1C or reach out to our office for options.

A1C ranges:
🟢 Under 5.7% = typically “normal range”
🟡 5.7–6.4% = commonly labeled “prediabetes”
🔴 6.5%+ = commonly labeled “diabetes”

Tip:
Prioritize protein-first meals + fiber + post-meal walking + sleep consistency.

Testing Options:
Ask your doctor to run A1C at your next physical, or reach out to us if you want an affordable testing route.

A1C is one of the simplest ways to see whether your metabolism has been stable or quietly drifting.

Tip:
After your largest meal today, take a 10-minute walk to improve post-meal glucose handling.

Additional Help:
If you’re getting bloodwork soon, ask for A1C to be included. If you need help figuring out what to order, our office can help!

New Year’s Eve Eve thought: Before you pick a resolution, pick a metric.

A1C is a simple blood test that reflects your average blood sugar over 3 months.
Not just what you ate today - your pattern.

DIY (no doctor, no clinic needed):
Start noticing afternoon crashes, cravings, belly weight, sleep interruptions.

Testing options:
At your next physical, ask your doctor: “Can you add an A1C?”
If you prefer a straightforward and affordable route, you can also reach out to our office and we can explain options.

The One Decision That Saves the Week

Christmas Eve is where most people lose the whole week.
Not because of one meal—because of one mindset.

Tonight’s final report before Christmas: the single decision that protects your metabolism.

Most people treat Christmas Eve like:
“last chance to indulge” → all-day grazing → sugar + alcohol + late night → poor sleep → Christmas Day cravings start early.

Instead, use The One Decision Rule:
No grazing. Only planned plates.

That’s it.

If you want keto to work during the holidays, you don’t need perfection. You need structure:

Christmas Eve Structure:

Protein at breakfast (or a protein shake if you’re busy)

One planned meal where you enjoy food—but keep carbs intentional

Electrolytes + water (especially if drinking)

10-minute walk after the main meal

Stop eating 2–3 hours before bed (protect sleep; protect tomorrow)

This isn’t about missing out. It’s about waking up tomorrow with control, not cravings.

If you do nothing else tonight: don’t graze. Planned plates only. That one rule prevents the insulin rollercoaster and saves tomorrow.
