In a January 7 Instagram video that showed herself walking around and looking off into the sunset on a beautiful beach, The Real Housewives of Orange County alum wrote, "More of this for 2025, please! Who’s with me?"

Gretchen continued by explaining the "health journey" she's been on over the past year and her intentions moving forward. "One thing you can control is what you are putting in and out of your body!" she continued in the caption. "Last year was a health journey for me, I had to really dig deep to find out what was going on with my body."

"I was inflamed, in pain, and did every test there was out there to figure out what was going on, to only run into no answers," she continued. "So I started to research and become my own health advocate. I changed a lot of things in my daily life to help get my health back. It was a lot of little things that really made a difference and so am going to start sharing little by little all the things I did." 

Gretchen continued by noting that at the end of the year, she found a system to help her "bio-hack" her body, helping her lose weight, suppress cravings, and "look [and] feel [her] best." 

"I will continue to share tips and tricks I learned throughout the year, as well as new things I am learning daily to help you all on your health journey as well," the California mom concluded her caption. "Here’s to a Happy & Healthy 2025!"
