Even though diet is not the only important factor when it comes to mental health, the recent study adds to the evidence that opting for healthy foods can help regulate mood.

“Across continents and age groups, mineral-depleted diets raise red flags for depression — and a bevy of other health concerns — so hydrating and mineral-rich foods aren’t just healthy, they might be healing,” said Richard.

According to her: “Potassium helps keep your heart happy and brain healthy. Together, that’s a recipe for mood stabilization.”

Since both article contributions are related to supplements, you get a ‘two-for-u-today 😉’ Does a multivitamin (MVI) slow biological aging? Over 40 and not sure what vitamin & mineral supplements may be needed? snippets and 🔗 below.

Personalize Your Plan. Remember that your needs are unique to your life.
“It’s important to remember that supplement recommendations are based on individual needs, goals, current health, accessibility, genetics and a plethora of other factors, not [just] age,” explains Monique Richard, M.S., RDN, LDN, FAND, IFNCP, RYT.

https://www.eatingwell.com/best-supplements-for-your-40s-11777210

“Healthy aging starts with what is on your plate from what was purchased in the grocery store, at the farmer’s market, or harvested from the land, not from a bottle in the supplement aisle,” Richard advised. “Prioritize investing your dollars on colorful produce and a good pair of walking shoes and then on appropriate supplements as needed and recommended by an RDN and/or your healthcare team.”

This article contribution is fitting and timely to share, since we, as RDNs, talk A LOT about p**p and moving it out— literally, but in so many other ways as well!! How fitting is my last quote right now?

Happy RDN day to all my colleagues (and all nutrition experts), thank you for all the ways you support, enhance and compassionately care for all you serve.

“Meeting with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can also explore the variables that could be addressed, including gut bacteria composition and metabolic pathways, as well as nutrient depletion, hydration status, and other physiological interference.”

“Real food, regular meals, movement and rest are non-negotiables in supporting gut health and effective eliminations,” Richard added.

“The quality of input affects the output and everything in between.”

“These simple but effective recommendations are based on biology, but rooted in common sense,” Richard said. “When we nurture our body with what it naturally needs, we’re going to optimize its function versus distract, detract, hinder and undermine it.”

“Hydration is like fiber — it’s not flashy, but everything works better with enough of it,” she added. “Don’t wait until you’re thirsty, either: Hydration is a progressive and fluid — pun intended — process.”

February is American Heart Month, I highlighted simple flavorful ways to support heart health and overall winter wellness. From salmon bites (a Super Bowl/Valentine’s/Galantine’s-friendly option as well), and overnight oats, to a winter caprese salad and warming beverages like golden milk--I provided tips on how to get key nutrients in, while delighting our taste buds and protecting our heart.

Dietary Guidelines-what is important for you to know from my perspective? Snippet below; read the full article for an important overview highlighting a few significant changes.

As with many things, there are many layers. Yes, of course, to ‘eat real food;’ we advocate, educate and encourage this daily with every human and in every sector we work in. However, the remainder of the newly released DGAs, along with the graphic, includes confusion, major missed opportunitues to encourage what most Americans are deficient in, and blatant omission of important recommendations from evidence-based research reviews conducted by 20 nutrition experts over two years (their 421-page comprehensive report was released last July).

Richard states “Without addressing food deserts, time scarcity, cost, marketing practices, and culinary skills, people are left knowing what to do without being supported in how to do it, ” she explained. “Policy, industry accountability, and community-based solutions must accompany the guidance. Guidance must also be led by nutrition experts, not those who have conflict of interest with industry, policy, or personal agendas.”

“My job as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is to meet people where they are, not where an idealized version of themselves or society thinks they ‘should’ be. We are able to translate evidence into daily, doable habits that can change the trajectory of health and enhance quality of life. Changes can be complex when considering the current landscape, pertinent health disparities, and lack of health literacy in specific populations.”

– Monique Richard, MS, RDN,

Nutrition is also much more than the food and nutrients themselves. We must address the multitude of factors that support, or degrade, health and vitality. An integrative and functional RDN is trained to take on the intricacies of this task while supporting the whole person.

Thank you Corrie Pelc and Medical News Today for always writing such important, informational pieces and for including my insight.

Last week I welcomed in the new year on Daytime Tri-Cities with a calm and serene themed reset —think light, nourishing, and comforting foods without sacrificing flavor.
We chatted about:
cloud eggs🥚,
‘cloud dancer’ ⛅️
ramen 🍜,
zeaxanthin,
fresh starts versus food rules, off-white foods being on point, and more.
What am I talking about you say?

It’s a wrap for 2025!! To end the year I covered upcycling leftovers, holiday gifts (like my colleagues cookbooks, shout out Sapna Punjabi and Jill Nussinow), fruit for dessert and cocoa shooters that make you as giddy as a snow day. Amy and I had a blast with some longer (LIVE) sessions than usual and did some LIVE improv 🤣with the teasers..

My themes were ‘savor and save’ & ‘create, share & celebrate.’ Let’s take holiday leftovers and make new creations — edible joy-- think a savory turkey-stuffing wreath, pesto from extra greens & herbs and a Brussels sprouts feta salad. It’s all about reducing waste, savoring the season, sharing, caring and making magical memories in the kitchen.

Thank you to the Daytime Tri-Cities family Amy Lynn, David McAvoy, Isaac, missed you Chris McIntosh and my awesome friends and loved ones Michael Eades, Courtney Dennis, Hannah for assisting the tinsel tradition, playing and creating styles and to Azlinn Hope Collection for the sparkly ruby skirt set.
