Hello Dear Readers,

Can you feel it?

The days are shorter

and that extra hour from the time change is bringing darkness around way too early!

It's that time of year when we’re all adjusting to evening’s quick arrival, but there’s something beautiful about it, too!

Those early sunsets remind us to pause and soak in every bit of daylight we get.

This last weekend, I went off to New York, staying in the picturesque West Point area.

The Northeast in fall is something special: crisp air, trees ablaze with color, and the kind of scenery that takes you back to simpler times.

I’m looking forward to this little getaway and to experiencing all that autumn beauty!

And while we're talking about things to look forward to,

Imagine a space just for us, where we can explore a better relationship with food and body, together.

With courses, resources, and monthly Q&As,

it’s all about building confidence, joy, and that wonderful sense of freedom around food—no guilt allowed.

As we move into these cozy fall evenings, let’s make the most of them.

Let’s dive into self-care, enjoy the beauty of each day (even if it's a little shorter), and take on this season with a spirit of renewal.

Wishing you warm, cozy evenings and a beautiful week ahead! 🍂

With excitement,

Dr. Peggy
