Are your New Year’s resolutions supporting your long-term health, or sending you back into another cycle of short-term diet trends? Before you commit to the latest plan, learn which nutrition strategies are supported by evidence and can contribute to lasting well-being in 2026 and beyond.

In this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Tara Schmidt, a registered dietitian and instructor of nutrition at Mayo Clinic. Together, they discuss evidence-based nutrition, the role of GLP-1 medications, why weight management is not just about the scale, and how to build sustainable lifestyle habits that extend past January.
