New Year Reset Without the Shame Spiral

It’s Not “Cold + Flu Season”… It’s Sugar + Stress Season

Every winter, we’re told the same story: it’s cold and flu season, everybody’s sick, it’s just going around.

But let me say it the way I actually believe it:

A lot of what people call “flu season” is really sugar + stress season.

More sugar than usual
More late nights than usual
More social chaos than usual
More emotional pressure than usual
Less movement, less sunlight, less hydration
More nervous system dysregulation (fight/flight all day)

Then we act shocked when the body waves the white flag.

Your body isn’t “betraying you.”
It’s responding to the environment you put it in.

Terrain Theory vs Germ Theory (My take)

Do I believe bacteria exist? Of course.
But I also believe we’re way too obsessed with “catching something” and not nearly focused enough on why our body couldn’t handle the exposure.

Your terrain matters:

hydration
minerals
detox pathways
digestion
sleep
stress load
inflammatory foods
stored toxic burden

This is why two people can be in the same room and only one gets taken out.

The Reset Most People Actually Need (After the Holidays)

I’m not a “New Year, New You” person. I’m not aligned with the hype.
But I do believe this time of year is a great time to reset — especially if you feel like you’ve been spiraling.

That’s why I’m re-releasing my program:

Whole Me (Whole30 + Mindset)

Whole Me is a self-paced reset that pairs:

Whole30-style clean eating (no sugar, no grains, no dairy, no processed foods)
mindset work rooted in biblical truth + intentional focus

Because yes — mindset is frequency.
Prayer is frequency.
Worry is frequency.
Your body listens to what your mind rehearses.

The reason most people quit halfway

A lot of programs are built like a punishment.
I build mine like real life.

Midway through, the content stretches out a bit because I’m not here to create another thing you “failed.” I’m here to help you build a new identity and keep going.

(And if you want to feel amazing, pairing this reset with foundational drainage + mitochondrial support is a next-level move.)

One Question That Changes Everything:

What’s your ONE non-negotiable?

If you’re overwhelmed, stop trying to fix everything at once.

Pick one thing you can do no matter what.

Mine?

Clean water (distilled water is my non-negotiable)
And I’m working on 30 grams of protein within 2 hours of waking

Not because I’m perfect.
Because I’m consistent enough to keep trying.

A word on fasting (and why timing matters)

Fasting can be powerful — but it’s also a stressor.

If you’re doing coffee on an empty stomach while your cortisol is already high…
and you’re eating late at night…
and your digestion is already struggling…

Then fasting might not be helping you the way you think it is.

Sometimes the win isn’t “eat less.”
Sometimes the win is eat smarter — earlier — with protein.

The GLP-1 conversation (real talk)

I was skeptical too. And I’m still cautious.

But used correctly, in the right dosing and with the right support, GLP-1 tools can help people:

calm cravings
reduce inflammation
regain control
get quick wins while they rebuild habits

The key things people miss:

protein
digestion
stomach acid support
nervous system regulation
and not treating it like permission to keep eating garbage

If you try something and it “wrecks you,” my opinion is often: it didn’t create the problem — it revealed the background problems you were getting away with.

Want support + community?

This year I’m moving more into group coaching because healing is easier when you’re not doing it alone.

We’re building a real community of people who are willing to be brave, do things differently, and stack wins without living in guilt.

Free Summit + Local Events

The MonDak Wellness Summit is now FREE — drop in, learn from multiple practitioners, and grow with us. We’re not waiting for change. We’re creating it.

We also host local community education like apothecary classes (hands-on, practical, take-home remedies and tools).
