Wellness Wednesday: Cancer Prevention, Screening, and Early Detection
Most people know the basics of staying healthy—eat well, move more, get screened. But when it comes to cancer prevention, the gap between knowing and actually doing might matter more than anything else. For Cancer Prevention Month, we’re breaking down the real science of risk reduction, the screenings that save lives, and the surprising ways lifestyle patterns, environment, and community factors shape your long-term health. Plus, we uncover who’s most affected by screening gaps and what every person can do—starting this week—to protect their future.
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. What if sustainable eating in 2026 had nothing to do with restriction, calorie counting, or giving up your favorite foods? What if the key was already in your kitchen, your routine, and even your mindset?
Wellness Wednesday: A Morning Routine That Actually Works
Your mornings might be shaping your entire day more than you realize. In this science-backed guide, I break down how movement, mindset rituals, and protein-forward breakfasts actually “train” your brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) to make healthier choices easier—without relying on willpower. If you’ve ever wanted a morning routine that truly works in real life, this is where to start.
Wellness Wednesday: What Every Woman Should Know About Cervical Health
Most women understand the basics of Pap smears—but far fewer know the full story of cervical health, why prevention matters long before symptoms appear, and how today’s screening tools make early detection more powerful than ever. As a women’s wellness coach, I see the same quiet gaps in knowledge again and again… and they’re the very gaps that put women at risk. This January, for Cervical Health Awareness Month, let’s close them together. Here’s what every woman should know—before it’s too late.
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. Why does this happen so consistently that we have a name for it—National Quitters Day—and more importantly, what can you do to avoid becoming part of the trend in 2026?
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.
Before you step into a new year, learn the science behind the Quitters Day slump and the strategy that can keep you going long after everyone else has given up.
Wellness Wednesday: Making Your Resolutions Stick This New Year
Forget the January pressure. Real change starts with your mindset—not a massive overhaul. Learn how identity-based habits, micro-steps, and self-compassion can help you build resolutions that last long after motivation fades.
Wellness Wednesday: Turning This Year’s Lessons Into Next Year’s Healthiest You
You didn’t fail this year — but your brain might be telling you that you did.
Before you toss the whole year into the “I’ll try again in January” bucket, there’s a better way to understand what really happened. One that uses neuroscience, behavior psychology, and your own lived experience to turn every win, loss, lapse, and messy middle moment into the blueprint for a stronger, healthier version of you.
This isn’t a “new year, new you” pep talk. It’s a step-by-step process for pulling meaning from the last 12 months — without shame, without judgment, and without abandoning yourself.
And the moment you understand this one shift… your entire approach to next year will change.
