Happy New Year! As we kick-off 2024, we want to let you know how grateful we are for our listeners and we wish each of you a happy, healthy and wonderful new year.

Today's show is one of our favorite annual episodes about the new year's health trends. See our exciting list below, and listen to this episode where we dive deeper into each of these trends, and provide tips and resources on how to implement them into your life.

• Movement - Strength training will continue to be the key to longevity. Group fitness and community activities like tennis, pickleball and golf will continue to gain in popularity. Artificial Intelligence will also play a bigger role in helping people customize their workouts using personal metrics to determine their readiness. 

• Fuel (“diet”) - More focus on a whole-foods and well-rounded, plant-based diet, as well as consuming adequate protein. We also dive in and talk about the “Ozempic” class of GLP-1 agonists drugs that are now being used for weight loss. 

• Lifestyle - Community saunas and hot/cold plunge retreats are popping up everywhere.  
  • We also discuss habit stacking and using red light therapy and PEMF mats.  
  • Look out for more transformative travel and retreats to combine the experience of adventure, community & culture with your health & wellness goals.
• Rest - Sleep is often the best medicine.  Listen to your body when it needs rest, and modify your workouts based on the quality of your zzz's. 
• Supplements - Don't guess, test!  There's a supplement for everything now, but we don't recommend taking supplements because your friend or social media feed suggested it. Let us help you test, don't guess!

We are excited to welcome the new year and we wish you all the best!  Drop us a note and share with us which of these trends you want to focus on in 2024.

xoxo - Marnie and Stephanie
