ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness. Feel like yourself again.

Mild nausea in the first few weeks of a GLP-1 is common; here's what actually helps.

Smaller, slower meals. Skip the greasy stuff. Sip water instead of chugging it.

And a few things that aren't exactly textbook, but patients tell me help too: hard candy, gum, a little carbonation, or making yourself eat something small even when you don't want to.

If it's not easing up, that's not something to push through alone.

Not a call center.
Not a script.
Your Nurse Practitioner, on your team.

And there is never any judgment because I have been where you are.

When you come to ReNew, you're not routed through a queue or handed a generic plan. You have a direct line to me, for every question, every dose adjustment, every hard day. Because I know what it feels like to be on the other side of this — and no one should have to navigate it alone, or feel judged for needing help.

This is why we do what we do.
If you're ready for care that actually feels like this, book your consult.

You did it — first injection down. 💉 So what's actually happening? Not much today or this week and that's normal. Over the next few days, digestion slows a little, and the medication starts mimicking a hormone your gut already makes. It's not foreign to your body, it's just turning up a signal.

Mild nausea or fullness this week? Also normal. Eat light, stay hydrated, and keep your injection on the same day every week.

A good rule of thumb is this: After you take your injection, begin eating small, non greasy meals. Sometimes you don't realize the medication has began to work and you eat the same you always do and end up sick.

If anything feels off, you're never guessing alone. Your NP is one call away.

School is back in session across Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol — and the first few weeks are the most important for establishing routines that stick all year.

At ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness in Johnson City, we know that a healthy family routine isn't just good for the kids — it directly supports your own weight loss and wellness goals too.

Here are a few simple ways to build a healthy routine for the whole family this week:

🌙 Set consistent bedtimes for everyone — including yourself. Poor sleep raises hunger hormones, increases cravings, and slows metabolism. The whole family benefits from a regular sleep schedule.

🍽️ Eat dinner together when you can. Studies suggest that families who eat together regularly make healthier food choices overall. It doesn't have to be every night — even 3 nights a week makes a difference.

💧 Make water the default drink at dinner. One simple swap. No willpower required.

🚶 Build movement into the Tri-Cities routine — after dinner walks along the Tweetsie Trail, morning parking lot walks at drop off, backyard time after school. Movement doesn't have to be a workout to count.

📵 Set a phone-free window before bed. Better sleep for everyone. Every night.

You don't have to do all of these at once. Pick one. Do it consistently this week. Then add another next week.

Sustainable routines are built one habit at a time — and we're here to help Tri-Cities families build ones that actually last. 💚

🎒 Back to school tip #5 of 5 — and this is the one that's entirely, completely just for you.

We've spent this whole week talking about ways to take care of your family during back to school chaos.

This tip? It's about taking care of YOU.

Here's all you have to do.

After you drop the kids off at school in the morning — don't head straight home or straight to work. Park your car. Get out. And walk for 15 minutes.

OR — get to pickup 15 minutes early. Instead of sitting in the car line scrolling your phone, park away from the line and walk for 15 minutes before you pull in.

Or do both. 🙌

Here's why this matters more than it might seem.

When you walk outside, your body releases endorphins — the feel-good hormones that your brain produces in response to physical movement. Endorphins naturally reduce stress, improve your mood, and make it easier to handle the chaos that's coming at you the rest of the day.

A 15-minute walk after drop-off doesn't just burn a few calories — it actively resets your stress response before your day really begins.

And walking outside specifically matters. Research suggests that time outdoors — even just 10–15 minutes — can lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone that drives cravings, fatigue, and emotional eating. The combination of movement AND fresh air AND daylight is genuinely powerful.

You spend every day taking care of everyone else.

This is 15 minutes for you.

Before the emails. Before the meetings. Before the grocery run and the laundry and the afternoon pickup. Just 15 minutes where you move your body, feel the air, and let your nervous system breathe.

You've earned it. Every single day. 💚

That's all 5 tips! Save this series and share it with a Tri-Cities mom who needs it this week. 🎒

At ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness, we help busy parents in Johnson City stay on track with their health — even in the middle of back to school chaos. Especially then.

🎒 Back to school tip #4 of 5 — and this one is the morning game changer.

It's 7:15am. Someone can't find their pink leggings. The bus comes in 8 minutes. Nobody has eaten breakfast. And you haven't had coffee yet.

Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️

Here's the fix — and I promise it's simpler than you think.

On Saturday or Sunday, pick out FIVE complete outfits for the week. And I mean complete. If it works for your family, have your kids help you pick the outfits out.

Shirt. Pants. Socks. Shoes. Belt. Hair bow. Hair tie. Everything your child needs to walk out the door looking like a person.

Bundle each outfit together and set them out or hang them up. When your kids wake up in the morning they pick any bundle they want. They choose. You've already won.

No arguing about what to wear.
No "I can't find my sock" at 7am.
No last-minute outfit changes when you have four minutes to spare.

Now here's the tip that took this to a whole other level . 👇

Put each complete outfit in a 2-gallon zip-lock bag or the whole outfit on one hanger and attach a bag to the hanger the with accessories or socks.

That's it. Everything for one outfit goes in one bag. Shirt, pants, socks, underwear, hair bow — all of it. Label them Monday through Friday if you want, or leave them unlabeled and let the kids pick whichever bag they want that morning.

They grab a bag. Open it. Get dressed. Done.

No searching. No arguing. No missing pieces. Just — done.

Try it this Sunday. See what Monday feels like. 💚

📌 Tip #5 drops tomorrow — and this one is 15 minutes just for YOU. You're going to want it.
