“I know what I need to do. I just need to do it.”

I’ve heard this hundreds of times in my years as a primary care nurse practitioner.

Someone comes in struggling—with their weight, sleep, energy, or physical health. We talk about what might help. And the response is almost always the same:

“I know what I need to do. I just need to do it.”

And then? Nothing changes. Weeks turn into months. We have the same conversation at the next visit.

Why?…. Knowing what to do keeps you stuck. You need support to actually do it.

Why Knowing Isn’t Enough

You don’t need another app, another article, another influencer’s tried-and-true fix, or another “just try harder” pep talk. You’ve probably already tried those.

The issue isn’t that you lack information. It’s that knowledge without support creates a gap you can’t willpower your way across.

Real change doesn’t happen through sheer determination. It happens when you create conditions where your nervous system feels safe enough to let go of old patterns. It happens when someone walks alongside you, adjusting the plan as you go, before discouragement sets in.

What Actually Works: The Live Well Collaborative Approach

At Live Well Collaborative, I don’t do the “here’s everything you need to fix” dump-and-run that leaves you overwhelmed and alone.

We do this:

• Start with 1-2 sustainable changes (not 10). Sometimes it’s a shift in your day-to-day habits. Sometimes it’s adding a prescription or supplement. Often it’s a combination that complements each other.
• Meet regularly so you’re not white-knuckling it alone between appointments.
• Adjust what’s not working before you get discouraged—we notice what’s working and what isn’t, then build from there.
• Build momentum through small wins that compound over time.

We have the luxury of time at each visit. We have the ability to follow up regularly and promptly. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about creating a structure that actually supports change.

Within 12 weeks, every single person I’ve worked with has felt the difference.

Not because they suddenly found willpower they didn’t have before. Because they had support that matched how their body and mind actually work.

Building Tolerance for the New

Here’s what most approaches miss: your nervous system needs to build tolerance for change gradually.

Discomfort isn’t the enemy—but overwhelming discomfort will shut you down every time. Real transformation happens when you take steps that feel tolerable, even if they’re uncomfortable. One shift at a time. One follow-up at a time. Until the new becomes familiar, and you’re ready for the next step.

This is how sustainable change actually works.

You’re Not Static—Your Approach Shouldn’t Be Either

We’re constantly evolving as humans. Your goals shift. Your life changes. Your stressors are different this year than they were last year.

Your approach needs to adapt with you—not stay stuck in a one-size-fits-all plan from three years ago that no longer fits your life.

You need more than information. You need guidance that honors how your body and mind actually work. You need someone who sees you as a whole person, not a list of symptoms to fix.

Ready for Things to Be Different?

If you’re ready for things to be different—not someday, but now—I’m here to walk with you.

Because you already know what needs to change.

Now it’s time to actually change it.
