Hello and welcome to our last Dishing Up Nutrition episode of 2025.

As we step into 2026, have you made any New Year's resolutions when it comes to your health?

Most of us have probably made resolutions in the past that we weren't able to stick with super long term.

Think about what got in the way of those resolutions.

Most of the time, it's due to overcommitting to an unrealistic goal.

So that's why on today's episode we'll be offering a different approach and a different mindset to help set attainable goals

that might be trampled over covered with dirt.

Yep.

In this new year, we get to have a fresh start.

And so, yes, I really do like this topic.
