Start the Year Right: Ditching the Broken Food Pyramid
Start the Year Right: Ditching the Broken Food Pyramid
For decades, we were taught to build our health around a food pyramid that prioritized grains, minimized fat, and oversimplified nutrition — and many people are still paying the price through inflammation, blood sugar issues, weight struggles, and chronic disease. As we step into a new year, it’s time to unlearn outdated guidance and focus on what actually supports the body: nutrient density, metabolic health, stable blood sugar, and personalized nutrition. Real wellness isn’t about following a diagram from the past — it’s about understanding how food truly works with your body today.
Dry January: Why I Chose to Quit Drinking — and Why I’m Inviting You to Join Me
Last week I shared a personal video on why I quit drinking, and the response reminded me how many people are quietly questioning their relationship with alcohol. For me, stepping away wasn’t about willpower or restriction — it was about clarity, energy, better sleep, lower inflammation, and finally feeling aligned with my health again. That’s why I’m continuing my Dry January challenge and inviting you to explore what even 31 alcohol-free days can do for your body and mind. You don’t need to label it forever — just give yourself the space to feel the difference. Sometimes the most powerful reset starts with simply removing what no longer serves you.
There are always new diets to try and different ingredients that are touted as making all the difference in your daily diet, but one thing that stays consistent is how good it feels to eat food that feels good for you. You know what we can always get behind, though? Getting plenty of protein to make sure we stay full, no matter where the day takes us. So whether you're looking for new protein-packed plant-based, vegetarian, and vegan meals (for Meatless Monday, perhaps?) or want to shake up how you cook chicken, seafood, or steak, these 45 high-protein meals are proof you're in the right place!
Changing Hearts Against Diversity: 2026 January Highlights
January Impact Update – Changing Hearts Against Diversity
As we begin a new year, I’m proud to share that Changing Hearts Against Diversity kicked off January with real, measurable impact. We successfully drilled 14 clean water wells, bringing safe, reliable water to communities that need it most, and shipped over 1,000 pounds of medical supplies to Cuba, supporting clinics and patients with critical resources. This is what purpose-driven work looks like—turning compassion into action and starting the year by changing lives, one well and one shipment at a time.

Why Habit Tracking Changes Everything
Most people think success comes from motivation — it doesn’t. It comes from awareness. Habit tracking turns your intentions into data, helping you see patterns in your sleep, nutrition, movement, mindset, and even stress before they quietly derail progress. When you track your habits, you stop guessing and start responding with clarity, consistency, and control. Small actions done daily don’t just add up — they compound, and habit tracking is how you stay honest, accountable, and aligned with the life you’re building.
My opinion? If you want real, lasting change in January, track first — perfection comes later.

When to Track Your Habits
The best time to track your habits is when the moment is fresh — not hours later when details fade. Jot them down first thing in the morning to note sleep and routines, right after your workout while the effort is still real, before meals to build awareness around food choices, and again before bed to reflect on what worked and what didn’t. Habit tracking isn’t about perfection — it’s about catching patterns early so small, daily choices turn into lasting change.
