Looking for a fun SuperBowl recipe to
spice up your grilling game? With a few tweaks to the OG recipe, this tangy Alabama White BBQ from RecipesTrip is the perfect Phase 2/3 accompaniment to grilled chicken.

Staying on plan doesn’t have to be hard or taste boring!

Ingredients:

1 cup Primal Kitchen mayonnaise
1/4 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon monkfruit
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
(*1 Tbsp Worcestershire may be added for Phase 4 Lifestyle peeps as it does contain a pinch of molasses and sugar)

In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Add salt, monkfruit, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, and the sauce is smooth.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. You can add more horseradish for extra heat, lemon for extra tang, or monkfruit for extra sweetness.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least an hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together.

Serve this Alabama White BBQ Sauce as a dipping sauce, basting sauce for grilled meats, or drizzle it over your favorite barbecue dishes.

1 Tbsp = 1 fat serving.

We've always known that sleep, movement, and nutrition matter for longevity—but a brand new study in The Lancet just quantified exactly how little it takes when you address them together.

The study followed nearly 60,000 adults and found something remarkable: combining just 5 extra minutes of sleep, 2 minutes of moderate physical activity, and a small dietary improvement (like adding half a serving of vegetables) per day was associated with gaining one additional year of lifespan.

When researchers looked at improving these behaviors individually, sleep alone required 25 minutes more per day to achieve the same one-year gain. Physical activity alone needed 2.3 minutes. And diet alone? It couldn't produce a statistically significant benefit on its own.

The secret is synergy. These behaviors amplify each other through interconnected physiological pathways. Sleep affects appetite regulation and energy for movement. Movement improves sleep quality. And nutrition supports both.

This is proof that you don't need a complete lifestyle overhaul to extend your life. Small, sustainable changes across multiple pillars of health create compounding benefits that isolated interventions simply can't match.

What's one small improvement you can make in each area today?

Breast implant calcification is one of those slow-burn, cellular soap operas where your immune system plays both detective and demolition crew. It is not the implant “turning to stone.” It is your body quietly wallpapering it with minerals.

When any foreign object is placed in the body, including silicone or saline implants, the immune system immediately builds a fibrous capsule around it. Think of this as biological shrink-wrap made of collagen and fibroblasts. That capsule is alive, vascularized, and constantly remodeled.

Over years, especially decades, that capsule can undergo chronic low-grade inflammation. Macrophages keep bumping into the implant surface. Fibroblasts keep laying down collagen. Tiny areas of cell death appear in the capsule. And wherever dead or stressed tissue exists, calcium loves to show up.

That process is called dystrophic calcification.

It is the same thing that makes old scars, damaged heart valves, atherosclerotic plaques, or long-healed TB lesions turn chalky. The blood calcium level is normal. The tissue is what is abnormal.

The implant itself does not calcify. The scar capsule around it does.

Three main forces drive this.

#1 Time.

Calcification is rare in the first decade and increasingly common after 15 to 30 years. Many studies find visible calcium in more than half of implants over 20 years old.

#2 Mechanical irritation.

Implants move with every breath, every arm swing, every workout. That constant micro-friction irritates the capsule. Textured implants, in particular, create more micro-trauma and inflammation than smooth ones.

#3 Leakage and biofilm.

Even “intact” silicone implants slowly bleed microscopic silicone molecules. This is called gel bleed. The immune system reacts to it. Bacteria can also form thin biofilms on implant surfaces that never cause infection but keep the immune system switched on.

Chronic inflammation plus dying cells plus calcium in blood equals mineral deposition.

The calcium deposits start as dust. Over years they become gritty, then chalky, then sometimes rigid plates. On mammograms they can look like cancer, which is why very old implants complicate breast imaging.

Importantly, this is not rare, not mysterious, and not dangerous by itself. It is simply the biology of foreign materials living inside mammals for decades.

Happy New Year!

I am so grateful for the community and patient relationships I have cultivated the past 20 years in the Florida panhandle and all of the lives by extension that have been positively impacted. We celebrated so many health WINS together! I began my career as a new Mom supporting other pregnant & lactating Moms...and now I find myself supporting those same women as we journey through perimenopause and launching young adults into the world!

As they say, "the only thing constant is change."

I am excited to share that I will be moving to Colorado in January and joining a colleague's practice. Since Covid, a large part of my practice has pivoted to telehealth. I will continue to offer those virtual services for my Florida patients: weight loss, functional wellness, gut health and perimenopause hormone support, offering a variety of labs (blood, stool, saliva, urine) to better serve my patients, as well as an online store with supplements drop shipped directly to your house.

Through January 31, please continue to reach out to 850-737-0080 for virtual scheduling.

Beginning February 1, please contact the staff at Gateway Natural Medicine for all scheduling needs 970-532-2755.

Wishing you many blessings for 2026!

Sitting for hours at a time doesn’t just affect your energy, it can seriously disrupt blood sugar control.

A recent study reveals that interrupting prolonged sitting with short bursts of movement can significantly improve glycemic control.

In the study, participants who performed 3 minutes of walking or 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes had better blood sugar regulation compared to those who stayed seated or even those who took a single 30-minute walk.

These frequent, targeted bursts of activity were shown to activate key muscle groups like the quadriceps and glutes, leading to better glucose management throughout the day.

This is proof that you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to support your metabolic health.

Send this to someone you’re on your health journey with.

Every meal, every workout, every night’s sleep—it’s all building the future you. What you do now, in your 20s, 30s, and even 50s, shapes the health you’ll experience in the decades to come.

To understand why the choices you make today impact your future health, consider this: chronic disease and mobility loss are rooted in long-term, silent processes. Inflammation, poor diet, stress, and lack of exercise can slowly damage your cells, arteries, and brain, starting decades before symptoms appear.

These conditions are not random—they develop over time based on lifestyle factors. Every healthy choice you make now can slow or even prevent these processes. It’s all connected.

It’s never too late—or too soon—to start living well.
