Wellness Wednesday: How to Build a Sustainable, Healthy Eating Plan Without Dieting
Most people step into January hoping a fresh start will fix their eating habits—but real change rarely comes from a reset. As a dietitian, I’ve seen how small, flexible shifts can transform someone’s relationship with food far more effectively than any diet ever could.

Wellness Wednesday: How to Outlast National Quitters Day
Every January starts the same way—big goals, bold promises, and a fresh dose of motivation. But by the second Friday of the month, millions silently step back from their resolutions.

As a wellness coach, I see the same turning point every year… but the reason most people quit isn’t what you think. In fact, the real root of the mid-January drop-off is surprisingly simple—and completely fixable.
