New Year, New Glow. Same Great Party! ✨

Who says you need alcohol to have a "lovely" drink in your hand? This New Year’s Eve, we’re trading the morning-after headache for antioxidant-packed sips that look—and taste—like a celebration. 🥂

Whether you’re hosting or just cozying up at home, these three mocktails are the perfect way to toast to your health:

🥒 1. Cucumber Mint Sparkler
Crisp, cool, and ultra-hydrating.

Ingredients: 4-5 thin cucumber slices, 5 fresh mint leaves, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, unsweetened sparkling water.

Method: Muddle the cucumber and mint in the bottom of a glass. Add ice and lime juice, then top with sparkling water.

🍊 2. Ginger Citrus Zinger
A zesty kick to wake up your palate.

Ingredients: 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ginger juice), ¼ cup fresh orange juice (no sugar added), 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, sparkling water.

Method: Combine the juices and ginger with ice in a shaker. Shake well, strain into a glass, and add a splash of sparkling water.

🍓 3. Berry Basil Cooler
Sophisticated, sweet, and herb-forward.

Ingredients: ¼ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 3 fresh basil leaves, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, sparkling water or club soda.

Method: Muddle the berries and basil in your glass. Add ice, pour in the lemon juice, and top with your fizz of choice.

Let’s be honest: If you’re already choosing the ginger over the gin to save your liver, you’re clearly ready to take your health seriously in 2026. 💅

Why stop at the glass? If you’re ready to level up your energy, nutrition, and wellness this year, let’s make it official. 🚀

Dr. Sam is much better at fixing your health than a glass of water is at fixing a hangover! 🍋

Balance Your Workout: Quality Over Quantity



Rest days are just as important as workout days! Here's how to maximize your fitness results with less time:

• Schedule 30 minutes of daily movement
• Do high-intensity interval training 2-3 times weekly, with at least one rest day between
• Fill other days with low-intensity activities like walking, swimming, yoga or easy cycling

The secret? Burst training applied to ANY activity you already enjoy. When I visited my stepmother at the pool, she swam continuously for 30 minutes while I did just four sprint laps with full recovery between. My approach delivered better results in the same timeframe!

Try this with your favorite activities:
- Turn jogging into walk-sprint intervals
- Add incline/speed to treadmill workouts
- Cycle between slow pace and high-resistance sprints

Remember:
- Use slower, controlled movements for deeper muscle engagement
- Allow full recovery between sets (no burning sensation)
- Keep high-intensity sessions under 30 minutes total



Your body thrives on intensity followed by recovery—not endless cardio!

Mamas want their teens to learn… and to actually ❤️ learning. I’m no different!


When Jessyka Coulter, the CEO and Founder of Ace Cookie Tutoring, asked me to be a part of her Love to Learn 2025 event, I had to say “yes.” ✅ Mamas and teens finding success is important to me.

⭐ ALL things school are more enjoyable (for you AND your teen!) from homework to studying
⭐ Little to no nagging which means you and your teen are better connected and have a stronger relationship
⭐ Learning is a source of excitement for the whole family which opens doors to new opportunities
⭐ … and so much more!

I share a lot of low histamine recipes in my Genetics+ Program because the majority of my clients thrive on a lower histamine diet.



Check out this recipe from Paleo Running Mom...




INGREDIENTS



1 1/2 pounds small gold potatoes quartered (about 1/2” thick)
4 tablespoons ghee (not butter) divided
4 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons parsley minced, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1” pieces
Sea salt and black pepper taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika



INSTRUCTIONS

**Please Note: Ghee is safe for people who have lactose intolerance or a sensitivity to milk proteins because high-quality ghee has those things removed.



To soften potatoes before adding them to the stovetop, boil in water for 5 mins.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the ghee or olive oil. Once hot, add the potatoes and sprinkle all over with sea salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, stir, then cook another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly brown, until golden brown and tender.
During the last minute of cooking the potatoes, push them to the size and add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and parsley. Stir in with the potatoes and cook until potatoes are done. Once done, remove the potatoes, garlic and herbs to a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee to the skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika, then add to the skillet/
Cook over med-high to high heat undisturbed for about 3 minutes or until crisp and brown on one side, then stir and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown all over, about 4-5 minutes.
Toss the chicken with the potatoes and top with additional fresh herbs.



Serve right away and enjoy!
