Weight loss is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions—but is it really the best one? The truth is, achieving the body composition you’re striving for often takes longer than a single year, and maintaining health is a lifelong journey. Instead of setting yourself up for frustration, what if you approached weight loss with patience, persistence, and a focus on sustainable habits?

In this episode, we’ll talk about starting small, avoiding overly restrictive diets, and giving yourself grace throughout the process. Licensed internist Dr. Cox joins me to share his expert insights on the factors that can impact your progress, from metabolism to lifestyle choices, and how to set realistic goals for long-term success.

Grab your sweet tea, and join us for an honest conversation about why weight loss is a terrible New Year’s resolution—but an incredible journey when approached the right way!
