As 2025 comes to a close, let’s pause for something important:

✨ What was your biggest health win this year? ✨

Maybe you built consistency.
Maybe you learned to listen to your hunger cues.
Maybe your labs improved, your energy increased, or you finally asked for support.
Or maybe… you simply showed up for yourself more than you used to.

No win is too small. They all matter.
And sharing yours might give someone else the encouragement they need heading into 2026. 💙

If you’ve ever felt pressured to “just have more” at a holiday dinner, even when your body is clearly saying no, you’re not alone. 💙
Food pressure can feel uncomfortable, guilt-inducing, and even triggering, especially if you’re on a GLP-1 and fullness hits faster than others expect.

Here’s the truth we want every patient to hear:

✨ You don’t owe anyone an explanation for honoring your body’s limits.
✨ You’re allowed to enjoy the holidays in a way that feels good to you.
✨ Saying no is not rude, it’s self-respect.

Use these simple, gracious phrases to navigate tricky moments with confidence and calm.

And remember:
You deserve a holiday season that feels peaceful, not pressured.

Losing weight shouldn’t mean losing muscle.
If you’re on medications like Wegovy or Zepbound, protecting your muscle mass is key for metabolism, strength, and long-term success.

In this quick audio clip, Nurse Practitioner Kara shares three simple habits she teaches all patients:

💪 Prioritize strength training (2–4x/week)
🍗 Eat enough protein to support muscle
😴 Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep for recovery

Small consistent habits → big long-term wins.
Your body (and metabolism) will thank you. 💙
