Hello everyone and welcome back to this week's episode of Mocktail Minutes. This is Brianna coming to you solo today. Um, it is the end of the year. It is Christmas this week. Uh, actually when you guys are listening to this, if you're listening to it on the day that it comes out, it will be on Christmas. So Merry Christmas, and next week we have New Year's, so Bailey and I are splitting up the two holiday weeks. And bringing you a short and sweet little fun two part episode on what we hope we are leaving behind in 2025 dietician edition. So today I am just sipping on some coffee with some further food collagen. I am just finishing up the hazelnut one, which might be my second favorite. I think my first is still always gonna be the chocolate, but. I do really enjoy the hazelnut as well. Um, especially if you mix it like with some oat milk, but that's what I'm sipping on today. So let's just jump into it. So three things that I am hoping that we leave in 2025. This first one, it has I guess a couple. Parts or specifics to it. So number one is I hope, I truly hope that we are leaving the being as thin as possible in 2025. And this is like. Encompassing the whole not doing strength training because it's making you bulky and inappropriately using GLP ones or overusing GLP ones. So I am, I'm 35, so I definitely, you know, grew up in the heroin chic era with, you know, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and telling everyone that Jessica Simpson was quote unquote fat in her little leopard outfit. That she, whatever, everybody knows the notorious like leopard outfit she was in that everyone was calling her fat and you look back and you're like, was she fat? So I thought we were kind of over that, especially because, you know, we have the whole like bigger booties, Kim Kardashian, you know, Lizzo, all those things. And now I'm seeing, especially towards the end of this year, the ultra thin is back in and we have skinny talk and all that. And I'm not against. You know, trying to have a smaller body or trying to lose weight, um, or intentionally change your body. I'm all for it. I'm a dietician. I help people do that all the time, but I'm very much in the boat of we need to be doing it in a healthy way. And the. Overly ultra thin bodies is just not it. So I've seen a couple of videos going around telling women like, if you want the thinner legs, you have to stop squatting. You have to stop doing lunges. You have to stop doing X, Y, Z because it's making you look bolt bulky and muscly. And if you want thin, don't do it. That is wild to me. I feel like we have only been encouraging women to really strength, strength train now for maybe the last decade, and I really, really, really hope that we are not stopping now. So I hope we are striving for. Ultra thin bodies a little less hopefully in 2026. That, and using GLP ones correctly, so they're kind of like all together. Um, again, I'm a dietician. I help people use GLP ones every day in a helpful way. There's definitely a wrong way of doing it. And so if you're just using it to see how much you, you can shrink your body. I'm not loving it. Um, number two is leaving behind the trend of having a, or taking a ton of supplements. Every single day. I am all for a targeted supplement. I'm all for pulsing SU supplements, using some here and there at strategic times. I definitely think there's a few supplements that the majority of people can really benefit from, especially because I know we're just naturally not getting a lot of those things in our diet. But if your supplement regimen is like 5, 6, 7, 10, 15 plus a day. We gotta, we gotta stop that. We need to see how can we incorporate more foods, especially if you are skipping foods and relying on those supplements to fill the void of the actual food, if that makes sense. So we are not spending 200, 300, 400 bucks a month on supplements in 2026. We are getting strategic with it. We are using appropriate ones. Um. Yeah, I, this is something, I mean, this has always been a thing, but I feel like the last couple weeks I've onboarded, I've onboarded a few new clients and their supplement list was like 15 plus supplements long, and I was just like, do we know what we're doing here? Is this appropriate? Also, how much are you spending a month? You know, groceries are expensive, supplements are expensive. We don't need to be spending necessary amounts of money. Okay. And then last but not least, is having or relying on AI or chat GPT to build you a personalized nutrition plan versus working with a professional. And so. I'm not against chat g Chat GPTI think it's actually really helpful. Um, you know, especially if you're like, Hey, I'm trying to hit 130 grams of protein a day. Like, help me do that. Or I'm looking for high protein snacks, or I'm looking to increase my fiber. What are foods high in? Fiber? What are snacks high in fiber? Um, or I have these ingredients on hand. What meals can I make with this, or this is my budget for the week. Help me put together a grocery plan. Like all of those things are fantastic. I think it's so helpful. I love it. But if you are trying to come up with a targeted macro plan or calorie plan, or a plan that is helping you figure out what's appropriate for you. You don't wanna just rely on AI because you are so much more complex than that, and at the end of the day, AI is only as smart as you tell it to be. If you're not giving it enough information, it's probably not gonna pull together a correct thing for you. Not only that, but it is relying on. The internet, right? And the internet is the Wild West. There's a whole bunch of incorrect stuff on the internet that AI can also be pulling from to make you something. So you definitely need to use some judgment. I had a patient the other day, well, this wasn't the other day, I was chatting with her the other day, but we started working with each other a couple of months ago, and she had gotten. You know, diagnosed with diabetes and she was re really freaked out by it and her doctor was just like, Hey, you know, you need to eat low carb, basically. And he sent her on her way. And so she put into chat, GPT, this is my A1C, I need to drastically lower my, my blood sugar. Write me a plan and chat. GPT had her on a plan that was less than 20 grams of carbs a day, and she got. Really sick, really tired. Her blood sugar did not get better. She had even more fear around food. And then not only that, but she really screwed up her thyroid even more than it was already messed up.'cause she also had, you know, hypothyroidism. So she thought she was doing the right thing with the tools that she had and ended up actually hurting her blood sugar and her thyroid and her relationship with food so much more. Um, and so. I kind of helped her, you know, work through like, you know, if you're gonna use cha GBT, this is how you should use it. But like a lot of the education and figuring out how much carbs you need and carb breakdown per meal and all that, and needs to be done with me or somebody else who knows what they're doing. Um, so just using AI strategically, I really wanna leave behind the blind trust of AI in 2025 and making sure that when you're using it. You're using it appropriately. So again, like all the things I just mentioned, I like, and this is what we do as humans. We talk about it all the time. We just take things to extreme right, like, I'm totally fine with wanting to lose weight, you know, using GLP ones as a tool. Um, having strategic supplementation, using AI to make your life easier. Love it all. But how we have used it in 2025, I hope that we leave it there and we change it up in 2026. So those are my three things that I'm hoping to leave behind in 2025. Uh, next week Bailey will be on talking to you guys about her three things that she's hoping to leave behind in 2025. So I hope you've enjoyed it.
