Ok y'all- here is your permission to eat yogurt with ~FaT~! That's right, you don't have to do non fat plain yogurt, or sugar free/diet yogurt. Here's why: fat in yogurt actually makes it more satisfying, plus the flavors can make the yogurt more enjoyable! All foods can fit into a healthy diet, including yogurt with fat and some added sugar.

Not to mention, who isn't a bit more enticed when you read ~limited edition~. You know I have the pumpkin spice flavor in my fridge too! 😜 Not a sponsored post

Some pretty little flowers for the clients in my space today (and for me!). Plus a reminder to slow down, and smell the roses (or peonies).

Friendly reminder that you're allowed to have snacks!

Tips for snacking:
1. Pick something that you like AND that sounds good right now
2. Put it in a plate or bowl
3. Enjoy it mindfully- what flavors or textures are present? Did it satisfy you, why or why not?

Happy snacking!

I had a client ask me today, can we "celebrate" Eating Disorders Awareness Week? And I think the answer is "yes"! ... Because the more we spread awareness and de-stigmatize eating disorders, the more people can recognize that they or their loved one has a problem and get care. And getting care means recovery, and recovery is ALWAYS a reason to celebrate!

Early detection matters, the time is now!

Not sure if you might be struggling with an eating disorder? You’re not alone – nearly 30 million Americans will experience an eating disorder at some point in their lifetimes (that's a lot!). Despite how common they are, too often eating disorders are not spoken about – leaving many people in the dark about what they’re experiencing.

This National Eating Disorders Screening Week, if you’re worried that you or a loved one may be struggling with an eating disorder, please take the eating disorders online screening tool at: nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening-tool . This first step takes minutes and connects you to resources.

Early detection is important for long term recovery. Don’t delay – find out if you’re at risk today!

Calling all Michiganders!

Dietitians bill for licensure, HB 4608, passed out of Senate committee and is moving to the general senate. Passing this bill allows RDs to be licensed to practice Medical Nutrition Therapy, protects the public and will likely lower healthcare costs AND improve access to care!

This is critical for my field of Eating Disorder Treatment!

Please fill out this action alert to send to urge your state Senators to vote YES, so we can get this to Gov. Whitmers desk and finally have licensure for RDNs.

I am writing to bring your attention to House Bill 4608, a crucial piece of legislation that has the potential to significantly impact healthcare in Michigan.  HB 4608 was introduced following extensive stakeholder engagement, and it...

Great quick read warning about toxic diet messaging to our sweet girl scouts by their buyers. Please watch your words when buying these tasty treats from kids!

Kids as young as 5 learn entrepreneurship through Girl Scout cookie sales, but they may also be learning to worry about fat, calories, and weight. Here's what parents can do to protect their children.

It was a pleasure to meet Senator Singh at his coffee hour this evening! Thank you for supporting dietitian licensure and our bill HB 4806!

For those of you who don’t know, HB 4806 would grant licensure to already credentialed dietitians in Michigan. We expect this would save healthcare dollars, protect the public and improve access to care! So to all my clients who are frustrated at poor insurance coverage, know I’m working on your behalf to make change!
