Key takeaways: 

  • Start Your Day with Water – Drinking 16oz of water first thing in the morning (before coffee!) can boost energy, support digestion, and set a positive tone for the day.
  • Walk After Meals – A quick 5-minute walk after eating helps regulate blood sugar, prevent afternoon crashes, and clear your head—bonus if you bring a podcast or audiobook.
  • Add Protein to Your Snacks – Prioritizing protein between meals helps curb cravings, balance hormones, and keep you fuller longer.
  • Stretch Before Bed – Even just 2–3 minutes of gentle stretching can improve sleep quality, reduce soreness, and calm your nervous system.
  • Make One Meal Phone-Free – Put your phone down during at least one meal to be more present, improve digestion, and connect with the people around you.
