OCTOBER ONSITE OFFICE HOURS

Let’s face it — the holiday season is full of joy, love, and… sugar. Lots of it. From Halloween candy to Thanksgiving pies and endless December cookies, we’re surrounded by sugary indulgences from October through New Year’s Day. And while a treat here and there is part of the fun, the blood sugar spikes and crashes that often follow can leave us feeling less than festive.

Whether you need Well Points, or need accountability during the most food-centric time of the year (hello, holidays!), your health coaches are here to support you!
