Dec 8, 2025 marked the beginning of my 2026 health and wellness journey, not with a workout, a meal plan, or a big declaration, but with information. This past Monday started with a comprehensive blood draw, the first step in understanding where my body is right now and how best to support it moving forward.
Now comes the pause.
The waiting. The space between action and clarity. I’m learning to appreciate this part because it’s here that thoughtful decisions are made, not rushed ones. This journey isn’t about extremes or quick fixes. It’s about listening more closely, asking better questions, and building a plan that supports strength, energy, and longevity for the long term.
As I wait for my consultation and lab results, I’m reminded that real wellness often begins quietly. In the wait my focus is:
Gathering data
Staying grounded
Trusting the process
One step at a time feels just right.
