2025 is here, and it’s the perfect time to focus on your health and wellness. Dr. Kellyann recently joined Good Day New York to share her top tips for upgrading your daily diet and creating habits that support a better, healthier you.

5 Simple Tips for Better Health

1. Start Your Day with Protein
   Eating protein first thing in the morning can help regulate blood sugar, boost metabolism, and keep you energized throughout the day. Pairing protein with fiber, like avocado, makes it even more effective.
2. Add Fermented Foods to Your Diet
   Gut health is essential to overall wellness. Incorporate foods like sourdough bread, kimchi, sauerkraut, or coconut yogurt, which support digestion and nourish healthy gut bacteria.
3. Sip on Bone Broth Daily
   Bone broth is a powerhouse for gut health, immunity, and beauty. Packed with collagen, it helps support glowing skin, strong joints, and overall nourishment. Aim for one to two cups a day, whether on its own or as part of your intermittent fasting routine.
4. Don’t Skip Magnesium
   Magnesium is an MVP mineral for stress relief, better sleep, and improved digestion. Find it in foods like Brazil nuts and cacao nibs, or opt for a high-quality supplement for more targeted benefits.
5. Upgrade Your Beverages
   For a refreshing anti-inflammatory drink, try a turmeric-ginger-black pepper mocktail with sparkling water. It’s a flavorful way to hydrate while embracing the Dry January mindset. Recipe below!
