Big things are coming. If you want real, sustainable health change, you will not want to miss what’s next.

Health is not about doing everything perfectly. It is about building consistent patterns that support your body over time. Real transformation comes from sustainable habits, not impossible standards. Show up for yourself in small ways, daily, and watch how everything shifts.

I’m launching my YouTube channel in December 2025, where I’ll dive deeper into realistic wellness, simple routines, and the habits that actually work. Tune in for more updates and get ready for a healthier, more intentional you.

Novo Nordisk just announced they are lowering the cash pay prices for 0 zempic and W eg0vy, and this could open the door for more people to access support they have been hoping for. This update is a reminder that progress is happening, and no matter where you are in your health journey, you deserve options, clarity, and compassion. Keep learning, keep advocating for yourself, and know that you are not alone.

Oral G L P medications are on the horizon, offering a convenient alternative to injections for managing weight and insulin resistance. These medications work similarly to the injectable versions you may have heard of, helping regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, and support metabolic health.

While they’re not a magic solution, the new oral options could make treatment easier and more accessible for many people. Stay informed, talk to your healthcare provider, and keep an eye out for updates—this could change the way we approach metabolic health.

It’s completely normal to feel pulled to finish everything on your plate when you’re out at a restaurant. Many of us were raised to believe that leaving food behind is wasteful or wrong. But you’re not paying for a clean plate, you’re paying for the experience, the connection, and the nourishment your body actually needs.

If you’re full, it’s okay to stop. If leftovers are an option, take them. If they aren’t, it still doesn’t mean you owe your body more food than it’s asking for.

Choosing to stop when you’re satisfied is an act of kindness toward yourself. You deserve to feel good after you eat, not uncomfortable or guilty.

How We Ate vs How They ate it.

Pork tenderloin, potato wedges, brussel sprouts. All three of my kids thought the brussel sprouts were “disgusting,” but two of the three kids did actually eat them. I think I give the kids strawberries with most meals haha.

What if your healthcare team actually had time for you, listened to you, and supported you through every step of your health and weight loss journey?

In our practice, care goes far beyond appointments. We’re here when the questions pop up, when the side effects feel confusing, and when the mental spiral hits. You don’t have to navigate any of it alone.

We take the time to understand you as a whole person—your story, your day-to-day life, your challenges, and your goals. This is support that meets you where you are and walks with you as you grow.

Compassionate care is not an add-on here. It’s the point. And you deserve nothing less.

We’re living in the age of protein obsession — but more isn’t always better. 🥩

💡 Most adults need 50–100g of protein/day, not 300.
💡 It’s based on ideal body weight, not your scale number.
💡 Spacing protein throughout the day works better than loading up once.
💡 Whole, balanced meals will always beat “high-protein” processed foods.

So before you double-scoop your next shake, ask: Am I fueling my body — or chasing a number?

Listen to the full episode of Conquer Your Weight for evidence-based nutrition that actually makes sense. https://www.sarahstombaughmd.com/conquer-your-weight-podcast/why-are-we-so-protein-obsessed/

Medicare is set to cover G L P-1 medications for as low as fifty dollars per month starting mid-2026, and this could completely transform access for millions.

If you or someone you love has been waiting for true access to G L P-1 therapy, this is the update you need to know.
