Another year has closed out, and this time, we’re embarking on a fresh new decade. For the last 6 years, in one capacity or another, we’ve kicked off a New Year Wellness effort and community initiative to start the year with healthy, positive habit forming intentions.

Throughout the years there have been a number of trendy trigger words and brands that incorrectly limit the intent and the goal of this effort, and at times can appear more isolating than inclusive. Some of that comes as a growing pain for establishing a foundation for any cultural or lifestyle change; some is the result of first efforts at creating structure — a foundation — to start from where everyone can understand small incremental changes that eventual build into bigger and more meaningful goals.

Now that we’ve been through this process for a handful of years ourselves and have been able to react to the needs we experienced, and those of our community, we’ve evolved into more of a collective lifestyle effort that we hope will embrace and include more people with a broader range of goals. Through this redefinition we are able to bring a more robust purpose and value to the process, eliminating the misconception that weight loss is the primary goal of a clean(er) eating effort or fitness programs. Our goal is about overall health; creating stronger and happier versions of ourselves by fueling ourselves with real food, building physical strength, and focusing on overall mindset, motivation and support.

That all being said, we now refer to this start of the year program as ‘The Whole Damn Thing’; It goes beyond any one single nutrition plan or fad diet to commit to resetting and and building a strong start to the next year (or decade) with a holistic approach to health and wellness that looks beyond food and allows for positive pattern and habit creation that promotes health from the inside out.

This year’s program is kicking off on Sunday January 5th; We’ll be providing some updates prior to the start to help members and the broader community to get started early if desired with their personal effort, or to simply prepare for the kick off using our shopping and meal prep tips.
