What better way to celebrate National RDN Day than speaking with future dietitians at my alma mater
There’s something special about sharing what I’m passionate about with the next generation…entrepreneurship, sports nutrition, fitness, wellness, and sharing evidence-based nutrition through media.
I’ve been practicing for over 15 years, and along the way I’ve had the opportunity to work with athletes, active individuals, families, and teams while building businesses, contributing to media, and collaborating with incredible professionals in this field.
What I’m most grateful for are the experiences, the growth, and the many lives I’ve had the privilege of positively impacting through nutrition.
Happy National RDN Day to my fellow dietitians doing meaningful work in clinics, communities, athletics, research, media, and beyond. The impact of this profession is real.

International Women’s Day is a good reminder of the many ways women show up every day in their work, in their families, and in their communities.

As a sports dietitian, entrepreneur, and mom of three, I’ve learned that meaningful work often looks different from day to day, but it always involves showing up with purpose.

Grateful to work alongside so many thoughtful, hardworking women who continue to support one another and raise the bar in health, sports, business, and beyond.

Happy International Women’s Day. 🤍

Many youth athletes struggle to fuel before competition.
Between nerves, early start times, and fear of stomach discomfort, it’s actually very common for athletes to show up underfueled.
One thing many parents don’t realize is that fueling before activity is a skill. If athletes aren’t used to eating before practices or training sessions, it can feel uncomfortable on competition day.
Starting with small, simple, and familiar foods and practicing fueling during training can make a big difference over time.
Helping athletes find foods they tolerate well before activity can support energy, focus, and endurance when it’s time to perform.
Save this for your next competition day and share with a sports parent who might find it helpful.

Some days you just need a meal that’s quick, delicious, and satisfying.
This easy combo from came together in minutes:
• Soy chorizo sautéed in a skillet
• Mexican-style cauliflower rice
• Spicy spuds in the air fryer
It’s flavorful, filling, and one of those meals that works whether you’re starting off your day with a balanced breakfast, coming home from work, practice, or just trying to get something on the table without a lot of effort. Fueling well really is this simple.
Save this one for a busy weeknight.

February: travel, family, work, kids’ sports, and a little fun in between.
Short month. Full life.
Grateful for the rhythm of it all. 🤎

Performance nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated.
Whether you’re training for a sport, lifting after work, or just staying active having grab-and-go protein snacks available makes fueling more consistent.
As a sports dietitian and fitness coach, these are some of my go-to portable protein snacks for athletes and active people.
Protein supports:
• muscle repair and recovery
• maintaining lean mass
• meeting daily protein needs
• staying satisfied between meals
Most people don’t struggle with knowing they need protein, they struggle with having it accessible when they need it.
Simple. Portable. Practical.
Save this for your next Costco run.

For a lot of athletes,
it’s not about doing more… it’s about shifting how you approach fueling.
Underfueling doesn’t support high performance.
Consistent fueling does.
When fueling becomes more balanced and consistent performance, recovery, and energy all tend to improve.
And over time,
that shift tends to show up in more ways than one.
Your body doesn’t need less.
It needs support.
Watching athletes across the Winter Olympics is a great reminder of that.
Fueling well supports more than performance it supports your body.

Almost everyone snacks every day … but hardly anyone does it with intention. I’ve partnered with Bel U.S. to share insights from their Purpose*Full Snacking Behavior Survey and show how intentional snacking is an opportunity to help support a balanced diet. With many of us already enjoying fruit and cheese pairings at snack time, there’s an opportunity to inspire even more people, and to show how to creatively pair Bel products with fruits and vegetables. And since 8 in 10 Americans don’t eat enough fruits, vegetables, and dairy - snack time is an opportunity to incorporate more of these foods into our day. The intentional balance of nutrients often take a backseat when people choose snacks, while hunger, cravings, and taste lead the way. As a registered dietitian, and fitness professional, I love showing that simple, intentional pairings like these can help make balanced snacking both purposeful and delicious. Get creative: pair fruit, veggies, and dairy to help support a balanced diet. Which combo would you try?
