💖 Your heart loves stability, and that’s where GLP-1s really shine. ✨

February is Heart Month, so let’s talk about something most people don’t realize: GLP-1 medications don’t just change how much you eat… they change how your body functions.

GLP-1 medications are especially beneficial because they support the systems your heart relies on every single day. Here’s the science, made simple:

🫀Blood sugar balance – GLP-1s improve insulin sensitivity, reducing blood sugar spikes that damage blood vessels over time.

🫀Lower inflammation – Chronic inflammation stresses arteries and the heart; GLP-1s help calm that internal fire.

🫀Reduced cardiac workload – Supporting metabolic health helps your heart work more efficiently, not harder.

🫀Healthier cholesterol trends – Many people see improvements in lipid markers tied to cardiovascular risk.

🫀More stable eating patterns – Less “food noise” means steadier energy and fewer stress responses that impact heart health.

Think of GLP-1s as a way to bring your metabolism and your heart into a healthier, more supportive rhythm.

At Stonegate, we approach GLP-1s with the intention to prioritize your long-term health. This Heart Month, choose self-love that lasts, and we will help you do it safely, confidently, and with care. 💪💝

💝 Ever wonder why chocolate calls your name a little louder this time of year? It’s not weak willpower… it’s science. Especially around Valentine’s Day, cravings tend to spike, and there’s a real biological reason behind it.

Chocolate cravings are often tied to blood sugar swings, stress hormones, and appetite signals in the brain. When those systems are out of balance, your body looks for quick comfort and fast energy: hello, chocolate aisle. 😅

Here’s where GLP-1s come in.

GLP-1 medications work by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. Instead of constant spikes and crashes, GLP-1s help create steady signals of fullness and satisfaction, which means fewer intense cravings, including the chocolate kind. 😉

What’s happening behind the scenes:

🍫 More stable blood sugar = fewer urgent sugar cravings
🍫 Reduced “food noise” in the brain
🍫 Improved appetite regulation
🍫 Less emotional eating driven by stress or fatigue
🍫 Feeling satisfied sooner, and longer

Many people are surprised to learn they don’t have to fight cravings once their body is supported because they just naturally quiet down.

Show yourself a little love this February by working WITH your body, not against it.

When your appetite feels calmer, you become unstoppable, and most importantly, stay consistent and balanced. Don’t you LOVE the sound of that? 💖

🫀 February is Heart Month… and weight loss isn’t just about the scale. It’s about your HEART.

If you’ve been focusing on feeling better, moving more, or losing weight this year, here’s something important to know: heart health and weight management are deeply connected, and that’s where GLP-1s come in. ✨💪

Carrying excess weight can increase strain on the heart, impact blood sugar, raise inflammation, and affect cholesterol levels.

Okay, yes, we all know that GLP-1 medications help support SUSTAINABLE weight loss, but their benefits go far beyond fitting into smaller jeans.

Here’s how GLP-1s can support heart health:

❤️ Help reduce body weight, which lowers stress on the heart
❤️ Improve blood sugar control, supporting cardiovascular health
❤️ Reduce inflammation that can impact arteries
❤️ Support healthier cholesterol and blood pressure trends
❤️ Encourage long-term habits that actually stick

At Stonegate, we take a whole-body approach. That means safe medical oversight, personalized plans, and support that helps your heart and your health goals move in the right direction.

This Heart Month, give yourself a little extra love. Supporting a healthy weight is one powerful way to support your heart, 💖 and we’re here to help you every step of the way.

💉✨ Thinking about starting GLP-1 injections? Here’s what to actually expect.

GLP-1s aren’t a quick fix or a trend — they’re a medically guided approach to long-term weight management. When used appropriately, they support slow, steady weight loss, help regulate appetite, and work best alongside lifestyle changes and ongoing care.

Most patients can expect weekly injections, gradual progress as the body adjusts, and consistent support focused on nutrition, habits, and overall wellness — not just the number on the scale.

At our practice, GLP-1 care goes beyond a prescription. We emphasize safety, individualized guidance, regular check-ins, and lifestyle support to help create results that are realistic, sustainable, and built to last.

Because lasting change comes from consistency, education, and the right support — not shortcuts. 💚

🥣✨ Everyone is talking about bone broth, so here’s the scoop on why it should be a year- round ingredient in 2026!

If you’re trying to reset, recharge, and feel good from the inside out, bone broth is one of the simplest wellness habits you can add to your routine. It’s soothing, nourishing, and genuinely does wonders for your gut and overall health.

Reasons we love it, especially in the winter months:

✨ Supports gut lining and digestion
✨ Helps reduce inflammation
✨ Rich in collagen for joints, skin, and hair
✨ Packed with minerals your body actually uses
✨ Boosts immune function (hello, sick season defense!)
✨ Warm, comforting, and easy on the stomach

Now for the good stuff, a simple, homemade bone broth you can sip all week. Here’s how to make this “magic in a bowl.”

🍲 Homemade Bone Broth

🥄 Ingredients:

• 1–3 lbs bones (chicken, beef, turkey, etc.)
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2–3 carrots, chopped
• 2–3 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 onion, quartered
• 2–3 cloves garlic
• Salt + pepper to taste
• Optional: bay leaf, herbs, or ginger

🥄 How to Make It:

Add bones to a large pot or slow cooker.

Cover with water and add apple cider vinegar (this helps pull nutrients from the bones).

Add veggies + any optional herbs.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer 12–24 hours.

Strain, season to taste, and store in jars.

Sip warm, use in recipes, or freeze for later!

Want to change your whole day every day in 2026? Start by moving your body before the world starts moving you. 🌅💪

You don’t need a 5am bootcamp or a marathon-level workout, just a little intentional movement in the morning can completely shift how your entire day unfolds. Seriously. 😉

Here’s why starting your day with even 10–20 minutes of movement works magic:

✨ Boosts metabolism — your body starts burning energy more efficiently all day
✨ Reduces cravings — movement stabilizes blood sugar and calms “snack attacks”
✨ Improves mood — hello endorphins, goodbye brain fog
✨ Builds consistency — mornings are predictable; evenings… not so much
✨ Helps you make better choices — when you start strong, you tend to stay strong
✨ Increases energy — that sluggish feeling? Movement shakes it off
✨ Creates momentum — one healthy choice leads to the next

Your morning movement doesn’t have to be intense or complicated. Walk the dog. Stretch. Do a quick strength circuit. Dance while you make your coffee. 💃

Just get your body awake before your to-do list wakes up.

This year isn’t about perfection, it’s about small habits that actually make you feel GOOD. Start your day with movement, and watch how the rest of your choices fall into place. You’ve got this. 👏💛
