As the year comes to a close, many people start thinking about how they want to feel in the year ahead — healthier, stronger, more confident.

That’s exactly why I wrote Take a Load Off.
It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about building a foundation for long-term health, especially for those navigating GLP-1 medications.

If you’re ready to start 2026 with clarity and confidence, this is a great place to begin:

Health goals don’t stick when they’re based on guilt.
They stick when they’re based on identity.

Instead of saying, “I’m trying to be healthier,” ask:
“What would a healthy version of me do today?”

That mindset shift is how habits become lifestyles.

You don’t need to wait for January 1st to start improving your health.

Every day between now and the new year is an opportunity to build momentum — even if it’s just a short walk, better hydration, or an earlier bedtime.

Small actions now make January feel easier.

Huge news to close out the year — Take a Load Off officially hit #6 on Amazon!
I wrote this book to make life easier for anyone navigating weight loss, mindset change, and the overwhelm that comes with trying to get healthy in a busy world.

If you or someone you love is on (or considering) a GLP-1 medication… this book makes the perfect December gift.

It’s practical. It’s encouraging. And it’s designed to help people succeed long after the medication stops.

Most people don’t have a motivation problem — they have an inflammation problem.

Chronic low-grade inflammation drains energy, alters mood, increases pain, worsens sleep, and destroys metabolic health.

It’s not just discomfort.
It’s a disease process.

The most effective ways to lower inflammation aren’t exotic:
✔ Strength training
✔ Cardio
✔ Reducing ultra-processed foods
✔ Quality sleep
✔ Stress control
✔ Meaningful relationships
✔ Avoiding chronic overwork

Inflammation is one of the biggest long-term killers — and it’s massively under-diagnosed.

Your metabolic health is more important than your weight.

Weight can be misleading.
But your metabolic markers?
They tell the truth.

The real indicators of health are:
• Fasting glucose
• A1c
• Blood pressure
• Triglycerides
• HDL
• Waist circumference
• VO₂ max
• Strength levels

If we treated metabolic health with the same urgency as weight, we’d prevent millions of chronic diseases.

This is what modern primary care should focus on.

Creatine is still one of the most studied, safest, and most effective supplements in all of medicine — not just fitness.

Evidence supports benefits for:
🧠 Cognitive function
💪 Muscle strength
🦴 Bone health
⚡ Energy production
🧓 Healthy aging

And yet most adults still don’t take it.

If there were a prescription drug with this safety profile and effect size, it would be a blockbuster.

One of the biggest predictors of long-term health isn’t weight, cholesterol, or genetics — it’s VO₂ max.

Your cardiorespiratory fitness level is directly tied to your risk of heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and early mortality.
Yet almost no one talks about it.

You don’t need to run marathons.
You just need consistent, moderate-to-vigorous movement that pushes your cardiovascular system.

If you want to live longer and better — improve your VO₂ max.

If yesterday was heavy on the stuffing, today is the perfect day to lighten the load — literally and mentally.
The day after Thanksgiving is when most people promise themselves they’ll “get back on track soon”… but soon never comes.

My book Take a Load Off is all about breaking that cycle — building sustainable habits, lowering the mental load, and learning how to approach health without guilt, shame, or unrealistic expectations.

If you want a reset that actually sticks, this is where to start.

Primary care should be proactive, not reactive.

We shouldn’t wait until you’re sick.
We should build a life where sickness struggles to catch you.

That means:
✅ Strength training
✅ Daily movement
✅ Real food
✅ Consistent sleep
✅ Stress control
✅ Meaningful relationships

These are not “extras.”
These are the foundations of disease prevention.
Not to manage illness — but to build health.

11/22/2025

My book Take a Load Off wasn’t written to motivate you for a day — it was written to transform your health for a lifetime.

If you're tired of quick fixes, tired of restarting every January, tired of doing everything “right” and still not getting results…
This is the reset you’ve been looking for.
