Choose Wellness

Movement doesn’t have to be intense to be transformative. 🌿💜

As Dr. Dean Ornish reminds us, “The best exercise to reverse heart disease is one you enjoy—if you like it, you’ll do it.”

Whether it’s dancing, walking, gardening, or stretching on your living-room floor, choose what brings you joy. Consistency grows naturally from enjoyment — and so do the benefits.

Dr. Richard Carmona, the 17th Surgeon General of the United States, once said:

“The Ornishes’ work is elegant and simple and deserving of a Nobel Prize, since it can change the world!”

Through decades of groundbreaking research, Drs. Dean and Anne Ornish have shown how lifestyle medicine—centered on love, connection, nutrition, movement, and stress management—can prevent and even reverse chronic disease. 💜

Most people think they get sick because of the weather, but the truth is that our immune systems are run down long before winter begins.

From Halloween through the holidays, people overload on sugar, alcohol, and processed foods.

Every spike in blood sugar suppresses immune cells, feeds harmful gut bacteria, and triggers inflammation.

When that happens across millions of people at once, viruses spread faster and recovery takes longer.

You can still enjoy your fun foods and traditions, but balance deeply matters.

✅ Eat protein before sweets
✅ Add fiber and healthy fats
✅ Stay hydrated and manage stress
✅ Choose real-food sweeteners when possible (my go-to is honey)

Protect your energy, your gut, and your immune system this season.

Leave a comment below with how you’re protecting your health this holiday season.

For people with chronic illness, overexertion isn’t just being worn out. It’s borrowing energy you don’t have, only to crash later.
