Discover Why Your New Year's Resolutions Keep Failing, And What to Focus on Instead!

Get the physician-approved checklist that reveals the 5 foundational health pillars to address before trying another diet, detox, or supplement program.

You're Not Lacking Discipline.
Your Body Needs Support First.

Does this sound familiar?

You start strong in January with your health goals, but lose steam by February

You've tried multiple diets without lasting results

Your labs come back "normal," but you still feel exhausted and inflamed

You've been told to "just eat less and move more," but that hasn't worked

You've been told "you're too young for it to be your hormones" but you know something is "off"

The truth? Most resolutions fail because they ignore what your body actually needs to heal and thrive.

What If You Could Finally Understand
What Your Body Is Actually Asking For?

This free, doctor-approved checklist walks you through the 5 critical foundations I assess with every patient before we talk about weight loss, hormone optimization, or lifestyle changes:

Blood Sugar Stability: Why insulin balance matters more than calorie counting

Stress and Nervous System Balance: How chronic stress blocks healing and fat loss

Nourishment (Not Dieting): Metabolic health requires fuel, not restriction

Intentional Movement: Why more exercise isn't always better for women

When you address these foundations first, everything else becomes easier.
