I help clients overcome emotional eating and reach their fitness goals without restriction

01/04/2026

Happy New Year everyone! I hope it has been amazing for you all. 2026 started behind the camera—one of my favorite creative hobbies. Modeling yesterday for (Hair and MUA) and (My friend and amazing photographer).

As a dietitian, I believe health isn’t just about what you eat—it’s how you move, how you show up for yourself, and how you express who you are. Here’s to a year of strength, nourishment, creativity, and intention ✨

🎄 10 Tips for Healthy Holiday Eating
1. Don’t skip meals before events — arrive nourished, not starving
2. Build your plate around protein first
3. Add color with veggies or fruit whenever possible
4. Eat mindfully and slow down — enjoy the food
5. Choose what you love, not everything available
6. Stay hydrated (thirst often feels like hunger)
7. Balance indulgent meals with lighter ones later
8. Watch portions, not perfection
9. Get movement in daily — even a walk counts
10. Drop the guilt — one meal never defines your health

✨ Cinnamon Bun Smoothie (Healthy Edition!) ✨

If you’re craving something sweet but still want to nourish your body… this is the recipe.
I blended together:

🍌 1 banana
🥛 Milk of choice (I used milked cashews)
🥄 1 tbsp cinnamon
💪 1 scoop whey isolate
🌿 1 scoop collagen

The result? A creamy, protein-packed smoothie that tastes just like a cinnamon bun — but way more nutritious. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or an afternoon pick-me-up. 🤍

Try it and thank me later!

Finding More Ways to Move in a Busy Day 🏃‍♀️💼

One of the biggest lessons I share with clients—and practice myself—is that increasing your daily activity doesn’t have to mean long gym sessions or perfect routines.

Small, intentional habits add up.

I recently added a walking pad with a stand-up desk to my home office, and it’s been a game changer. Some days I use it like a treadmill, and other days I walk slowly while doing admin work, catching up on emails, listening to a podcast, or even watching a show. Instead of sitting on the couch, I’m moving—and those steps truly add up.

A few simple ways to add more movement into your day:

• Walk while you work (walking pad or standing desk- I only do it with admin work, not while I’m with a client)
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator
• In the summer, walk to nearby places like the grocery store instead of driving
• Break up sitting time with short 5–10 minute movement breaks
• Be mindful—every bit of movement counts toward your health goals

Consistency over perfection. Your body will thank you for every step you take. ✨

If you’ve been thinking about prioritizing your nutrition, health, or weight goals, now is the perfect time. Most insurance plans reset on January 1st, which means your benefits may expire if you don’t use them before year-end.

Let’s make your health a priority before the year wraps up. 💛

Growth isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about refining what’s already strong. High-value people keep evolving, and never stop striving to be the best version of themselves. If you’re constantly fighting to better yourself, I see you, I respect you, I applaud you! Don’t give up 😊Growth is strength ❤️

Pictures by my friend Hugo Sanchez contact him via IG or at yeghugo@gmail.com - Fall is short so don’t miss out whether it’s beautiful pictures or just enjoying some Fall walks, nature is beautiful 🍁❤️😊

🍂 It’s Fall, that cozy time of the day, and as a dietitian, it’s my duty to give you a healthy option! Haha ☕🎃

I just tried this simple pumpkin spice latte recipe, give it a try:

Ingredients:
• 1 cup nonfat or non-dairy milk (I used cashew)
• 1 tbsp pumpkin purée (100% pumpkin)🎃
• 1 tbsp honey 🍯
• ⅛ tsp cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg & ginger
• A shot of espresso ☕️

What are the benefits of pumpkin?
🎃 Nutrient-packed: Rich in vitamins A and C, supporting immunity and healthy skin.
🎃 High in fiber: Keeps you full longer and supports digestion.

✨ Not All Red Meat Is Created Equal ✨

There’s a common misconception that all red meat is “fatty,” “unhealthy,” or something to avoid. But the truth is—just like with any food—it depends on the cut, the source, and how it’s prepared.

Take steak, for example:
• A ribeye is richly marbled and higher in fat.
• A filet mignon, on the other hand, is actually one of the leanest cuts of beef. It’s tender, lower in fat, and a great source of high-quality protein.

Two weeks ago, I ordered my first steak (filet mignon!)—and I’m proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone and trying something new. Not only did I love it, but it also reminded me how much nutrition there is to explore when we keep an open mind with food.

And speaking of trying new things—next up was an elk burger. I was surprised by how delicious it was! Elk is much leaner than traditional beef burgers, while still packing in protein. Plus, it’s naturally high in iron, which supports energy, oxygen transport, and overall vitality.

👉 The takeaway?
Red meat doesn’t fit into one box. Choosing leaner cuts like filet mignon—or nutrient-dense game meats like elk—can be a healthy, balanced way to enjoy variety while fueling your body well.

Sometimes the best step forward in our health journey is simply saying yes to trying something new. Of course, I must always add that if you don’t eat red meat or if you are vegan for religious reasons or prefer to not eat animals for personal reasons, that is completely fine too. This is a no judgement place ❤️❤️ I’m not trying to promote red meat if you don’t eat it. This post is simply regarding education about different cuts of red meat as well as pushing yourself to go outside of your comfort zone when it comes to trying different foods if that’s something that’s a goal for you.

Healing is growth 🌱

After years of recovery from my injuries, I finally fully healed, made it back to one of my favorite hikes (and other activities) —and it feels incredible to feel like myself again.

My body has been through so much from years of professional salsa dancing and bodybuilding, and I’m deeply grateful for both the lessons and the healing. These challenges have shaped me into a stronger person—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I have found myself relating more to my clients. I am able to truly empathize and offer strategies and support I wouldn’t have been able to had I not gone through those challenges. We don’t grow when we are comfortable and challenges are truly GIFTS if we use them as a catalyst for growth.

On top of that, I just published my course to help others heal their relationship with food and overcome emotional eating. 💻✨ If you’d like to learn more, send me a message and I’ll share it with you.

This is just the beginning of new adventures—on the mountain and in life. 🏔️💪 Whatever you might be going through- with persistence, belief in yourself and optimism- I promise you’ll see the sun rising again 😊❤️

One of the coolest lessons I’ve learned recently: growth shows up even in the small choices.

For years, despite still eating salmon, I avoided white fish after 3 bad food poisoning experiences. Last year I gave them another shot and now fish tacos are one of my favorite meals. Same with roast beef — once a hard no, now something I enjoy (especially to keep my iron levels high). Next on my list: ordering my first steak (lean of course 😉). 🥩

It reminded me that sometimes the things we resist most aren’t really a ‘no’ forever — they’re just waiting for us to revisit with a new perspective.

Whether it’s food, mindset, or habits etc… being open to give things another shot allows us to discover them in a new light that brings us joy in life 😊 ✨

HannaHDeacon Dietitian

When I was in grade 9, I discovered my passion for nutrition and helping people. I went to the University of Alberta, where I completed my educational requirements to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). I worked in different areas of dietetics, from which I learned several skills (check my “about me” section on my blog site for detailed information on my education and work experience). It has been a very rewarding experience as seeing people succeed is something that brings me much joy! I use a client-centered approach, which involves clients in their goal-setting and ensure my client-satisfaction by being professional, compassionate, adaptable and maintaining confidentiality. By using motivational interviewing strategies, my clients leave my office driven and ready to kill it!

I am also a Certified Craving Change Facilitator (Craving Change™), which means I use cognitive-behavioural (CBT) strategies to address emotional eating as well as behaviour change to enhance success. As of August of 2018, I also became a Certified Personal Trainer! I believe that diet, fitness and mental health all go hand in hand, which is where my three designations come in.
