The pain of starting never gets easier.

Reinventing your identity and changing your direction in life requires redefining how you perceive yourself.

If you want a different outcome, it requires a different action.

The beginning of a new year offers a clean slate to take a step in the direction of who you want to become.

We are going to take that first step together in this newsletter.

Together, we will uncover four unconventional ways to start eating better overnight.

The answer is rarely a new diet.

What we need is a new environment.

The Purge: Make Junk Food Inconvenient

Make bad habits inconvenient.

Purge your kitchen of junk.

Spend one or a few days cleaning out your fridge, freezer, and pantry.

Unsure of which food to remove?

If it contains a long list of ingredients or you can't pronounce them, consider removing it.

"The longer the shelf life, the shorter your life".

Starting with the unhealthy foods you fall victim to daily.

I encourage you to donate to your local food bank before you trash it.

With no (or less) junk in your environment, you're left with better options to choose from.

Out of sight, out of mind until your next trip to the grocery store.

If you avoid buying junk, you're less tempted to eat it.

Reducing or eliminating the junk you bring home from the grocery store will help keep your environment clean.

Preparation Breeds Progress

We have been conditioned to default to convenience over quality.

Hungry? What's the easiest option?

The problem is that these options typically trade quality for convenience.

Routinely relying on convenient food choices is a recipe for throwing you off track.

Avoid being in a hunger pinch.

Your solution: preparation.

Dedicating 1-2 days/week to meal preparation makes healthy choices more convenient, rather than using convenience to justify unhealthy choices.

You also hold yourself accountable, since you've already invested time in preparing the food.

Preparation breeds progress.

Building a Nutrition Plan That Lasts

Endless punishment or starving yourself of all pleasure from food is not the solution.

It's not sustainable, and I guarantee you will retreat to your previous eating habits in no time.

Eating well 80% of the time and accepting that we may deviate the other 20% is a win in my book.

One of the primary problems today is that most of us are eating 100% for pleasure, without considering the consequences.

Intentionally eating to stay on track to hit your goals, paired with forgiveness for living life, builds sustainability.

Skip the temporary diet and build a durable nutrition plan.

Win with Others

It's much easier to stay on track with others rooting for you.

Having a friend, family member, or coworker join you in improving your diet can lead to significant benefits.

Celebrating small wins with others is more enjoyable and keeps everyone accountable.

Win together.

Your lab markers are your instruction manual. Knowing what’s in range—and especially what’s out of range—lets you personalize your health instead of guessing.

That’s about 5× more testing than standard primary care labs—bloodwork that would normally cost thousands of dollars out of pocket.

Scheduling is simple, with 2,000+ lab locations across the U.S., and most visits take around 15 minutes.

Once your results are ready, you receive a clear, comprehensive summary written by Function’s clinical team—and if anything urgent shows up, a clinician calls you directly.

With real data and personalized insights, you can take action, retest over time, and actually track whether what you’re doing is working.

This is the exact blood test my family and I get every six months.
