We’re excited to share these habits with you—maybe you’ll find some inspiration to carry into your own life this year!

Dr. Julia’s Healthy Habits in Minnetonka MN

1. Prioritizing Sleep: With my almost 2-year-old finally sleeping through the night, I’ve made going to bed before 10 PM a priority to ensure I get enough rest.
2. Hydration with Minerals: Adding trace minerals to my water has been a game-changer—without them, I notice lower energy and occasional morning headaches.
3. Sourdough: I’ve been in my sourdough era for a year now and feel great feeding this healthier bread option to myself and my family.
4. Sauna Sessions: I sauna 4x/week, which helps with sweating, detoxing, and giving my nervous system a much-needed 20-minute reset (essential with 3 kids under 6!).
5. Walking & Pilates: Quick, efficient movement like 20–30 minutes of walking or Pilates keeps my heart healthy and strengthens my stabilizing muscles.
6. Neurological Adjustments: Regular care from Dr. Natalie and Dr. Lashonda helps maximize my nervous system, keeping me a happy and healthy mom of three.

Dr. Lashonda’s Healthy Habits

1. Gym Workouts: Hitting the gym 2–3 times a week keeps me strong, energized, and mentally sharp.
2. Sauna Time: A weekly sauna session helps me detox, relax, and reset both body and mind.
3. Nightly Reading: Ending each day with a good book nurtures my mind and helps me unwind.
4. Chiropractic Care: Weekly adjustments keep my body functioning at its best.
5. Daily Nature Time: Spending time outside every day grounds me, relieves stress, and recharges my energy.

Dr. Natalie’s Healthy Habits

1. Chiropractic Care: I got adjusted 1–3x/week by the best docs!
2. Sauna Sessions (3–4x/Week): I made time for the sauna multiple times a week to detox & sweat.
3. Resistance Training (3–4x/Week): This has been helping me build muscle and strength back after giving birth to my son last year.
4. 21-Day Detox: I completed the 21-day detox in September. This was a transformative experience for me. It helped reset my digestion, clear out toxins, and helped me refocus on prioritizing whole foods, and eat more paleo/keto-ish, which feels really good for me.
5. Walks with My Son: I tried my best to get my son outside every day and push him in the stroller.
6. Listening to Audiobooks (1–2/Month): I’ve made it a priority to listen to 1–2 audiobooks a month. This habit keeps me learning, inspired, and entertained during walks, rocking my son to sleep, and while I work out.

Mr. Sam’s Healthy Habits

1. No Alcohol
2. Limited Sugar
3. No Processed Foods
4. Protein and Healthy Fats for Breakfast
5. Weight Training: Minimum 4 times per week.
6. Sauna-ing: 3 times per week.
7. Chiropractic Adjustments: 2 times per week.
8. Being in Bed by 9 PM: Even on weekends!
9. Limited/No Caffeine: This is a big one! I’ve been a coffeeholic for years and decided to cut it out cold turkey this fall. It’s been hard, but I feel a real improvement to my well-being.

"I feel better than I have in years, and look forward to continuing this routine into 2025!"

Ms. Calli’s Healthy Habits

1. Calories & Macros: Tracking my calorie intake and macros has helped me understand the importance of the food I’m putting into my body.
2. Protein: I aim for 1+ gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (about 130–160g) and have noticed higher energy levels and an overall sense of well-being.
3. Activity: I prioritize 10,000+ steps a day and lift weights three times a week.
4. Hormonal Health: Since stopping hormonal birth control, my mood and energy have improved significantly.
5. Clean Eating: I focus on buying organic, whole foods and choosing cleaner options.
6. Oura Ring: Thanks to Sam and Dr. Julia, I’ve been using an Oura Ring to track and enhance my health on a deeper level.
7. Chiropractic Care: Weekly adjustments by the best doctors!
