It's that time of year when everyone's looking to do something new to improve their health. Heather's here to help. Here are her five tips for not falling into the trap of another diet culture gimmick or starting a plan in January that you'll have to stop three weeks later. If you truly want to improve your health in 2025, these are some thought-provoking and wise considerations to mull over before signing with a new health coach or singing up for a new health or diet plan. Heather encourages you to not pursue any plan that is going to have to consume your life (Hint: it's not sustainable). She also encourages you to be on the lookout for programs that make promises they can't keep or don't help you develop a healthier relationship with food, your body, or God.

You'll want to listen to learn more about why programs that make you eat their food, give you a timeline for weight loss, or use out-of-context Christian scriptures to support your weight loss goals may not be a good fit for your health journey.
