  • Stop Setting Vague Goals: Try SMART Instead

    Stop Setting Vague Goals: Try SMART Instead
    Sep 3 2025

    Ever set a health goal like “I want to get healthier”—only to lose steam a week later? You’re not alone. The problem isn’t your motivation, it’s how the goal is framed. In this short and practical episode, I’ll walk you through the SMART method for goal setting—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—so you can finally set goals that stick.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why vague health goals don’t work (and what to do instead)
    • The 5 parts of the SMART acronym and how to apply each one
    • A real-life example of turning “I want to exercise more” into a SMART health goal
    • How to rewrite your own goals so they’re clear, doable, and motivating

    Why This Matters: SMART goals give you structure, accountability, and motivation—so you can actually follow through and see results in your health.

    Next Step for You: Pick one area of your health you’d like to improve—whether it’s sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration, or stress—and rewrite your goal using the SMART framework. Small, SMART steps can lead to big, lasting change.

  • Why Weight Loss Feels Harder After 40 — And What to Do About It

    Why Weight Loss Feels Harder After 40 — And What to Do About It
    Aug 27 2025

    If you’ve ever wondered why the scale seems harder to budge in your 40s and 50s, you’re not alone. Hormonal changes, shifts in metabolism, and lifestyle factors all play a role — but the good news is, there are solutions.

    In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m joined by Dr. Babalola, a physician trained in lifestyle medicine who specializes in obesity and women’s health during menopause. Together, we unpack why weight loss often feels more difficult in midlife and what you can actually do about it.

    We cover:

    • How menopause hormones affect weight, metabolism, and fat distribution
    • The role of muscle loss and why strength training becomes so important
    • Lifestyle habits that can either support or sabotage midlife health
    • Practical strategies for women to feel strong, balanced, and in control of their health again

    Whether you’re navigating peri-menopause, already in menopause, or just curious about how to set yourself up for success in your 40s and beyond, this episode will leave you with both clarity and encouragement.

  • Busting 5 Common Myths about Your Health

    Busting 5 Common Myths about Your Health
    Aug 20 2025

    We’ve all heard them — little “rules” about health that get repeated so often that they start to sound like facts. But some of the most common health myths can actually hold you back from taking care of yourself in the ways that matter most.

    In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m busting 5 myths I hear all the time in clinic. We’ll talk about why these beliefs aren’t true and how you can make better choices for your health moving forward.

    You’ll learn why:

    • Feeling fine doesn’t mean you can skip your annual checkup
    • “Normal” cholesterol isn’t the whole story for heart health
    • Peri-menopause is more than just hot flashes
    • Persistent fatigue isn’t always “just stress”
    • Exercise doesn’t give you a free pass on nutrition

    Knowledge is power — and by breaking free from these myths, you’ll be better equipped to make decisions that truly support your health.
