In this year-end episode, I’m sharing the top five lessons that transformed my own health—and the health of so many patients I’ve worked with. These weren’t quick fixes or resolutions that fizzled out in February. These were identity-level shifts that changed how I eat, move, think, and show up for myself.

You’ll hear about how my tastes evolved (yes, your palate really can change), how movement became a true non-negotiable, why structure creates more freedom—not less—and the mindset practices that kept me anchored during the busiest seasons. I also share the patterns I’ve seen repeatedly in patients navigating GLP-1 medications, metabolic healing, emotional eating, and long-term weight management.

This episode wraps the year with grounded wisdom, compassion, and tools you can start using today.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why your taste buds genuinely change over time—and how to create the conditions for that shift.
  • The identity shift that makes daily movement automatic (and non-negotiable).
  • How simple routines and structure actually reduce stress, emotional eating, and evening overeating.
  • The mindset training required to maintain weight loss and navigate busy seasons with less friction.
  • The role of community and support in sustaining long-term behavior change.
  • Why building momentum—not perfection—was the biggest theme in both my life and my patients’ successes this year.
