A gentle nudge, right when you need it
The healthy choice isn’t always the easy one. We forget, we get tired, we crave comfort, and the day fills up fast. It’s rarely about not knowing what to do — it’s that life pulls your attention away, and what you wanted for yourself slips away.

Peggy In My Pocket actually began with one patient who wanted to walk every day but kept forgetting — so I offered to send a simple daily text.

It helped. A lot.

Those quick daily reminder texts to one patient grew into a way to support you with things you want for yourself. Peggy In My Pocket is a daily text from me — short, simple, and timed to match the habit it supports.

A breakfast reminder might come early.
A movement nudge might land mid‑day.
A sleep tip might show up later on.
And every so often, a quick “How are you doing today?” so you can check in.

It’s not a program.
It’s not a challenge.
It’s not another task.
It’s support right when you need it.

This blog is dedicated to Irl Flanagan, who was my friend and grammar mentor. Over the last 20 or so years, he spent countless hours editing my manuscripts and teaching me the intricacies of sentence structure and the true meaning and the proper usage of words. 

Irl passed 4 months before his 100th birthday. He held my writing to a high standard, and I honor him by doing the same.

About Me

Her programs are grounded in research and built around habits that lower inflammation, support heart health, balance blood sugar, and make weight loss sustainable.

Peggy has worked with thousands of people, guiding them toward meaningful improvements in their health — from weight loss and lower glucose to better blood pressure, cholesterol, and energy. Her approach is practical, encouraging, and rooted in the belief that anyone can change their health by changing their daily habits.
