Today the “More Than a Number” club at Heritage High School brought these handmade Valentines filled with affirmations for my office, for clients to read and take with them as a small but meaningful reminder that they’re more than a number.

Seeing students advocate for eating disorder awareness gives me so much hope. Thank you for the heart behind this work 💌

I don’t struggle the way I used to, but I’m still learning. Recovery evolves, and wherever you’re at right now is okay 💛

The holidays are winding down. Hanukkah has ended. Holiday gatherings are in full swing. And the new year is already being framed as a “reset.”

Diet culture tells us that enjoyment needs to be followed by restriction. And January is about becoming someone “better” by shrinking ourselves.

But we don’t step into the new year empty. We bring our histories, our bodies, our resilience, and everything that has helped us survive and adapt. None of that needs to be erased ✨

If you’re in recovery (or even just thinking about it) the new year doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Maybe it simply means noticing the urge to “make up for” holiday eating and choosing, even briefly, not to act on it.

Even just for this moment, consider offering yourself a little grace. Resting and letting food be food.

That, too, is something worth carrying into the new year 🤍

If today feels heavy, complicated, or just different, you’re not doing anything wrong. Holidays can bring a mix of food pressure, body comments, old dynamics, and emotions you weren’t expecting.

Here are a few reminders for today:

✨ Eat consistently.
Skipping meals or “saving up” won’t make the day easier, your body still needs steady fuel.

✨ Plate your food and sit to eat.
One plate at a time can help you slow down and stay present.

✨ Take breaks.
Step outside. Breathe. You’re allowed to pause conversations that feel too much.

✨ You don’t owe anyone a response to diet or body talk. A simple “Let’s talk about something else” is enough.

✨ Hard moments don’t erase your progress.
You’re allowed to show up imperfectly today.

Whether you’re with family, working, or spending today quietly you deserve nourishment and care.

One meal, one moment at a time. 💛

With holidays and gatherings coming up, you may see a child (or adult) eating something different from everyone else, maybe food from home, maybe the same “safe” foods each time or avoiding mixed or new foods.

Before commenting, teasing, pushing, or assuming they’re being “picky” or rude, pause.

Its important to know ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is not about being dramatic or difficult, and is not about dieting or body image. It comes from fear, sensory overwhelm, medical trauma, or nervous system dysregulation around food.

And here’s what matters most:

💛 It’s not the child’s fault.
💛 It’s not the parent’s fault.
💛 And shaming someone never helps them eat more bravely, it can even make food feel scarier.

Let people feel safe at the table.
Meeting someone where they are is care.
Progress comes from support, not pressure.

If you’d like ARFID-friendly strategies or support resources, comment SUPPORT or send me a message, I’m happy to help 💛

Halloween can bring up a lot of food worries for parents and caregivers and for many, it’s hard to know how to handle candy in a way that feels balanced.

If you notice that it brings up discomfort, pause with curiosity:
 💭 What do I fear will happen if I don’t limit it? 💭 Why does this feel hard to let go of? 💭 What messages have I been taught about sugar or food?

These reflections aren’t about shame but about awareness. Because the more we understand our own food stories, the more we can help kids build trust, flexibility and peace around food too

🍭 Candy doesn’t undo nutrition 🍫 Food is meant to be enjoyed, not earned 👻 Let Halloween be about fun, not fear

This Saturday, we’ll be at the Hot Rods 4 Paws event in Downtown Antioch! 🐾💛

This nonprofit holds such a special place in my heart, it provides free and low-cost resources for pet owners who otherwise couldn’t access things like vaccinations, spay/neuter services, or even food for their animals.

I’ll have a booth set up with free resources, information on eating disorder awareness, and a few fun treats: come say hi, grab some goodies, and connect!

📍 Downtown Antioch | 10 AM – 2 PM
👻 Trunk-or-Treat • Vendors • Music • Pet Costume Contest!

Come by, say hi, and support a cause that’s changing lives, both human and furry 🐕🐾

Lately, at community events, I’m reminded how deeply misunderstood eating disorders still are

I often hear things like:

“Oh, I don’t have an eating disorder, I just eat too much”
or
“I could never have one, I love food”

These comments aren’t meant to harm, but they show how limited our understanding can be.Eating disorders don’t always look like extreme thinness or total food avoidance

They can look like:
– chronic guilt around eating
– constant body checking
– rigid food rules
– cycles of restriction, bingeing, or purging

You can’t tell who’s struggling just by looking at them.
And every person, every BODY deserves care, no matter their size or diagnosis

💛 Awareness matters!
Because the more we understand that eating disorders don’t discriminate, the more people will feel safe enough to ask for help.\

Spent the day at the Oakley Health Fair connecting with city staff about eating disorder recovery and body image awareness.

Every time we bring these conversations into new spaces, we see just how many people are affected, directly or through someone they love.

Thank you, Oakley, for welcoming these important conversations.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with food or body image, you’re not alone. Support is available 💛

We’re currently accepting new clients message the word SUPPORT to learn more about working with a dietitian who specializes in eating disorder care.

Diet culture often elevates protein as the “superior” nutrient. But here’s the truth: your body depends on all three macronutrients, each with a role that only it can do.

🍞 Carbs = your body’s main energy source, especially for your brain and nervous system.
 🥩 Protein = repairing tissues, supporting your immune system, making hormones and enzymes.
 🥑 Fat = protecting cells, regulating hormones, helping absorb vitamins, and keeping you satisfied.

When carbs are restricted, your body is forced to use protein for energy, leaving less for healing, rebuilding, and all the critical functions it’s designed for.

✨ Balance isn’t about perfection, it’s about remembering that each macronutrient plays an important role, and your body is built to thrive with all of them. So no, protein isn’t “better” than carbs or fat. They’re teammates, not competitors.

Eating disorders don’t just impact individuals, they ripple through families, relationships, and entire communities.

At last weekend’s event, James and Marisa showed up together as dietitians to share resources, education, raise awareness, and share hope for anyone impacted by eating disorders

💛 Hearing stories from individuals who felt truly seen. 💛 And were reminded why access to care and representation matter so deeply.

Eating disorders do not have a single look, and recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all.

We are grateful to be part of this important conversation here in Contra Costa County and we’re just getting started.🌿

Yesterday, we had the privilege of sharing space at the event to raise awareness about eating disorders and provide free resources for our community🌿

We were deeply moved by the conversations that happened at our booth including people who shared their own recovery journeys and expressed how meaningful it was to see eating disorder support represented here.

Eating disorders affect people of all backgrounds, and access to care matters.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect, ask questions, or simply say hello💛
