Start 2026 with Intention: Why Most People Struggle to Follow Through on Their New Year’s Goals — and How a Guided Reset Can Change Everything
Every year, January arrives with the same combination of hope, determination, and the desire to finally feel better in our bodies. We make promises to ourselves about eating healthier, losing weight, getting our digestion back on track, reducing inflammation, or simply regaining the energy we know we’re capable of.
And yet, despite the best intentions, by February, nearly 80% of people have already given up.
Not because they don’t care. Not because they lack discipline. But because New Year’s resolutions, as we traditionally approach them, are missing the structure, support, and physiological reset that make real change possible.
Over the past two decades of leading this purification program—yes, for almost twenty years—I’ve seen this pattern in my patients, and I’ve seen it in myself. I’ve used this program through every season of my life: after vacations where I fully enjoyed incredible meals and great wine, during periods where cravings sneaked in, and most recently, to reset my hormones and digestion postpartum after IV antibiotics in 2024 completely disrupted my gut.
What I’ve learned is this:
Most people don’t fail because they lack willpower. They fail because they’re trying to make major changes in a body that isn’t physiologically ready to shift.
This is where a structured reset changes everything.
Why Most Weight Loss and Health Resolutions Fall Apart
1. The body is working against the goal.

After the holidays—or after travel, stress, postpartum shifts, or antibiotic use—your digestion, blood sugar, hormones, and detoxification pathways may not be in a place where weight loss or habit change is even possible.
When your physiology is dysregulated, no amount of “trying harder” works.
2. Resolutions rely on motivation, which fades quickly.
Motivation gets you started. Structure keeps you going. Most resolutions have motivation, but zero structure.
3. The goals are too broad.
Eat healthier. Lose weight. Feel better.
These are wonderful intentions, but without a system, they collapse under everyday life.
4. People try to do it alone.
And isolation is the fastest way to lose momentum.
What Actually Works: A Guided Reset with Structure and Support
A resolution tells you what you want. A structured reset gives you the tools to actually get there.
This is why the New Year, New You Purification Challenge is so effective. It provides:
• A clear day-by-day plan • Whole-food supplements and shakes to support detox pathways • Recipes, meal plans, and grocery guides • Opening and closing Zoom sessions • Daily email support • A private Facebook community • Pre- and post-program body metrics • An optional sauna package for enhanced detox support
It removes guesswork and builds accountability into every step.
My Personal Experience With This Program
For nearly twenty years, this reset has been the tool I return to whenever my body needs recalibration.
I love food. I looove wine. I travel. I celebrate. I live my life fully. But I also listen to my body when it tells me things are off—when my digestion feels sluggish, when cravings become louder, when inflammation creeps in, or when my energy dips.
This program has always been my reset button.
After giving birth in 2024 and receiving IV antibiotics, my digestion and hormones shifted dramatically. I didn’t feel like myself. This purification protocol was what helped me rebuild my gut, stabilize my energy, and reconnect to my health again.
It’s a reliable, predictable, gentle, and incredibly effective way to feel like yourself after seasons of imbalance.
Why This Program Becomes “Fail-Proof”
1. You’re not doing it alone.
Community is built into the structure so you stay consistent.
2. There is no guessing.
You’re given a roadmap, and each day builds on the last.
3. You see real, measurable results.
We track metrics before and after, giving you tangible evidence of your progress.
4. It addresses the systems that control weight, cravings, digestion, and energy.
When digestion, blood sugar, liver function, hormones, and inflammation begin to regulate, your choices become easier. You don’t have to fight against your body—your body begins working with you.
Clarifying Your “Why” for 2026
Everyone has a reason they want a fresh start. Consider yours.
• Preparing for a special trip • Getting ready for a photoshoot or event • Wanting to feel confident in your clothes • Rebalancing after postpartum or hormonal changes • Calming inflammation, joint discomfort, or bloating • Regaining mental clarity and consistent energy • Breaking out of the cycle of cravings • Wanting to stop feeling “stuck” in your body
Your reason matters. This reset helps you honor it.
