The NEW Food Pyramid is here (2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans)!

Here’s the quick breakdown of what it’s emphasizing now:

✅ Build meals around protein (animal or plant sources) — “protein at every meal” is a key message.

✅ Add lots of vegetables + fruits (whole/minimally processed, variety matters).

✅ Include healthy fats from real foods (think olives/olive oil, avocado, nuts/seeds, eggs, seafood, etc.).

✅ Whole grains are still included—but the push is to reduce refined carbs and highly processed foods (and added sugars).

Simple “new pyramid” meal formula:
Protein + Color (veg/fruit) + Healthy fat → then add whole grains if they work for you.

If you want help tailoring this to your body, lifestyle, and goals, message me and I’ll help you make it simple.

Vitamin D is one of the most important “behind-the-scenes” nutrients for whole-body resilience. When sunlight is limited, our natural production tends to drop.

Vitamin D supports:

Strong bones & teeth (calcium + phosphorus metabolism): Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium—key for maintaining bone density and lowering osteoporosis risk.

Muscle comfort & strength: Low vitamin D can show up as muscle aches/weakness and general body discomfort.

Immune function: Adequate vitamin D is important for normal immune defenses—especially during cold/flu season and other “environmental stressors.”

Cardiovascular & endothelial support: Vitamin D is involved in healthy endothelial function and nitric-oxide signaling (one reason it’s often discussed for circulation support).

Cell growth regulation: Higher vitamin D status is associated with lower colorectal cancer risk in observational studies.

Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption, and K2 (MK-7) helps activate proteins (like osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein) involved in directing calcium toward bones/teeth and away from soft tissues—supporting bone and vascular health.

Pro tip: There’s a right way to take Vitamin D. Vitamin D is fat-soluble so it's important to take it with a protein. Magnesium helps your body activate, use, and regulate vitamin D once it’s in you.

Worry has a sneaky way of feeling like preparation… but it often acts more like a “practice run” for the outcome you least want.

Here’s the shift: instead of rehearsing a negative future, come back to right now. Be fully present. And if being present feels hard, don’t force it—use stillness as a bridge. Just observe what’s happening inside you: your breath, your thoughts, the tightness in your chest, the mental noise. No judgment. Just noticing. That simple act interrupts the spiral and brings your nervous system back online.

And yes—there’s science behind why worry “creates more worry”:

Your brain has a built-in filter called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). It’s like the bouncer at the door of your attention. It decides what you notice, what stands out, and what your brain tags as “important.” When you repeatedly focus on worst-case scenarios, your RAS starts scanning your environment for evidence that matches that story—more problems, more threats, more reasons to stay on high alert. Not because the world got worse… but because your filter got narrower.

So if you want a different year, you don’t have to control everything. You just have to train your attention toward what supports you.

As we begin 2026, let this be your reset:

Less rehearsing what could go wrong

More presence, clarity, and grounded action

More trust that you can handle what’s real—when it’s real

Today, choose a better “prayer”: peace, possibility, and progress—one present moment at a time. 💛
