❄️With my clients we work on healthy eating become an easy default regardless of what is happening!

A diet that only works when your schedule is perfect and your life is low. stress is not something that’s realistic!

working with a dietitian is a great way to find meeting pattern that actually works with your life, gets you to your health goals and doesn’t feel restrictive.

🤨As a registered dietitian whose education was only made possible by loans and an educator for graduate programs these proposed changes make me mad!

With so many healthcare shortages already we need to be doing more to support the people who want to dedicate themselves to caring for and making Americans healthier!

Access to loans is one piece, but so is improved payment and decreased education costs!

Whether you are a student, RD, MS level healthcare provider or consumer of healthcare your messages to our representatives matter!

I have already sent in my comments and you have until March 2nd to do so! This is a great way to get involved in public policy. For my fellow MA dietitians has a whole team for public policy that always needs volunteers!

From : The U.S. Department of Education is updating how it defines “professional degree programs.” This decision will determine how much federal student loan funding dietetics graduate students can access. Right now, nutrition and dietetics programs are not clearly included in the list of professional degree programs.
If excluded, future registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) may face:
Lower federal loan limits
Loss of Grad PLUS loan eligibility
Reliance on higher-interest private loans
Delayed or abandoned training
Without appropriate loan access, many qualified students will not be able to enter the profession. This is not only a financial aid issue. It is a health care workforce issue.
The U.S. Department of Education will consider public comments through March 2 before finalizing the rule. Your voice can directly influence the final policy.
What You Can Do (2-5 minutes)

Every comment submitted helps protect the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession and the communities that depend on RDNs.

📱Social media can be harming your healthy goals when you are following accounts that are glorifying a “perfect” lifestyle.

As we finish enter month 2 of 2026 do yourself a favor and unfollow accounts that aren’t supporting your mental health and make you feel guilt and shame.

My goal with my page is that this can be a space for reliable nutrition and health education and promotes a realistic and healthy lifestyle and diet 🥰 So I am glad you are here!

⚖️Proud to serve the & my patients advocating for improved access to registered dietitians and protection of the registered dietitian credential!

We have so many opportunities to get involved in state politics (many can be done from home) and MAND needs your help! Check out eatrightma.org public policy page or DM me to get help finding how you can help!

This session we are working on pay parity for telehealth (aka making sure insurance companies don’t cut rates for private practice dietitians providing telehealth appointments) and strengthening the state RD license to help MA prepare to enter the RD compact. If you are a dietitian in MA and care about either of those issues let’s chat!

Dont forget to check out for more resources on the seat at every table campaign!

♥️February is heart health month and regular physical activity (walking, cleaning, dancing, playing with your kids) helps to protect your heart (and according to very reliable source Elle Woods makes you happy and decreases crime 🙊🙉)!

🧀 Fat digestion wouldn’t be the same without the gallbladder!

Everytime you eat fat we rely on a nice bolus of bile from the gallbladder…but you can live without one (like my sister ♥️ Mel) ➡️ to learn more!

Knowing how our organs work helps us to better understand how food impacts our health!

🍽️Ready to be fueled for a busy day of patients before heading to to teach my afternoon classes!

With the new dietary guidelines I’m getting a lot of questions of examples of what a healthy day of eating can look like and there are so many examples!

Key things to keep in mind when picking meals:
1) Where is the fiber? A fruit is a great easy way to get fiber, but also working for about half of your lunch to be vegetables is ideal too. With today’s lunch my vegetables are the squash and spinach in my stuffed squash.

2) Is there protein in this meal? For me the protein pancakes make this easy as I bath. Make them and freeze them for easy grab and go option! For my lunch I have protein in with my squash stuffing of ground beef and lentils

3) Is it easy to bring with you? I walk to clinic so space is limited in my bag. That is why I like to just this collapsable bowl from !

4) Do I like the favor? Healthy food that you don’t like is not going to be eaten and isn’t going to help you on your healthy journey! Focus on flavors you enjoy and working to add more healthy ingredients!
