My go to breakfast (and sometimes dinner!). If you use high quality protein powder and greek yogurt, along with berries, grain free granola (which can be omitted), chia seeds, h**p seeds, flax seeds you end up with an amazing meal packed with 40-50 grams of protein not to mention fiber! Add a little ice and frozen berries and turn this into a protein shake. is my favorite protein powder by far.

Did you know 10 minutes of strength training a day can help increase your energy and build muscle?

Don’t buy into the myth that lifting weights means getting bulky - strength training is key for getting lean, feeling strong, and supporting your long-term health. Women’s muscle mass typically peaks around age 30–35, then naturally declines by about 3–5% per decade. More reason to keep those weights in your routine!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner - hello, months of holiday get-togethers!
We love the festivities, but let’s be real: there can be a lot of food noise and pressure this time of year, especially if it disrupts your usual routine.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind while in the kitchen:
🍗 Choose white meat without the skin
🥘 Cook stuffing separately and flavor veggies with herbs and spices instead of salt
🌾 Swap whole-wheat flour for white to slow digestion and keep you feeling full

Enjoy the holidays without the stress. Small swaps can make a big difference!

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide can be powerful tools for weight management but they aren’t magic. Exercise helps preserve muscle and metabolism, while balanced eating keeps energy steady and reduces the risk of losing muscle mass.

Think of GLP-1s as one piece of a comprehensive plan, not the whole solution.

Exciting news!

The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) welcomes today’s announcement by the White House Administration regarding expanded access to obesity medications and a commitment to make effective treatment for the chronic disease of obesity more affordable and widely available.

As the clinical leaders in obesity medicine, we recognize that treating obesity first is essential to improving overall health outcomes and reducing the burden of related chronic conditions. Medication management is a key component of comprehensive care for this disease — alongside lifestyle, behavioral, nutrition, and surgical interventions when appropriate.

We view today’s development as an important milestone in recognizing obesity as a serious, relapsing, and treatable chronic disease versus a lifestyle choice, and this supports the imperative of treating obesity first to improve the health of individuals and communities.

We look forward to working with policymakers, payers, clinicians and patient advocates to ensure that the promise of this announcement is realized in clinical practice — including timely access, appropriate coverage, provider education, equitable care, and ongoing support for long‐term outcomes.

For patients, we encourage you to find an obesity medicine clinician through our directory: https://obesitymedicine.org/about/find-a-provider/

For clinicians, we invite you to connect with your peers and join the conversation here: connect.obesitymedicine.org

Together, we are committed to advancing high-quality, evidence‐based care for all persons impacted by the disease of obesity.

I always find it upsetting that the ingredients have changed this significantly to make what we used to eat unrecognizable today. Our body's do not know what to do with these chemicals.
