What I learned going through it myself

Hi Reader, I just published something that felt a little vulnerable to share, and I wanted you to be the first to read it. It's a post about why I shifted my nutrition practice to perimenopause, and in it, I share my personal story. Because I didn't just study this transition. I lived it. If you've ever wondered why I approach this work the way I do, this post is probably the most honest answer I have. Why I Shifted My Nutrition Practice to Perimenopause — and What I Learned as a Dietitian...

Hi Reader, I want to share something personal that drives my work. I was a Division I swimmer. From the age of 8, I spent nearly every day in a pool.

What they’re missing is something much more basic: Time to pause Time to reset Time to take care of their own needs before they run empty Here’s what this often looks like: A client tells me she feels out of control with food in the...

Hi Reader, Today, I want to share a story that is incredibly common. I start working with a new client. In her intake form, she mentions her digestion—bloating, constipation, and the frustration of never quite feeling comfortable. She’s tried everything. She cut out gluten and felt better for a few weeks.Then she cut out dairy. Again, some relief—but it never lasts. Now she’s still suffering and unsure what to eat.Should she cut out more foods? Legumes too? On top of the normal stresses of...
