Tonight's quick version of a taco bowl:
Ground beef
Refried beans (these happen to be homemade but that's not the norm)
Tomatoes, chopped
Avocado
Sprinkled with taco sauce
A half a broken taco shell (because taco shells are too much work)

My hubs will eat some tacos.
My son won't eat a bowl like this, but he can make a quesadilla or burrito and that will make him happy.
This quick meal makes it easy for everyone to be happy

Ever wonder why your hunger feels louder than everyone else’s?

For women with the FTO risk variant, the hunger hormone (ghrelin) can stay “on” longer — which means stronger cravings and a harder time feeling satisfied, even when you’ve eaten enough.

Not your fault. Not your lack of control. Just biology.

And the best part?
You can quiet it.
Protein. Fiber. Better sleep. The right kind of movement.
Small shifts that help your body finally feel regulated again.

If you want to understand this in a way that actually makes sense, our full blog is in the comments.

You know…technically Thanksgiving is next Thursday.
But let’s be honest, the holiday starts today.

We’re hearing Thanksgiving talk on TV and radio.
There’s a shift in the air.
People are traveling, hosting, planning…
Kids are out of school, schedules are different, and our normal routines start slipping.

And because Thanksgiving is a holiday centered around food, it’s really easy for that one day to quietly stretch into a 10 day goliday, starting now and running all the way through the end of the month.

You might be more social than usual…
A few extra cocktails…
Eating foods you don’t normally eat…
Eating more than you normally would…
And before you know it, the whole stretch becomes a blur of indulgence.

One day won’t derail your health.
But 10 days can.
And even more importantly, those 10 days can throw off your momentum heading into the rest of the holiday season.

So here’s my advice as your dietitian who wants you to feel good and enjoy your life:

Enjoy the holiday.
Be present.
Eat the foods you love.

But also be smart.
Be intentional.
Move through this season with awareness—so you can celebrate without feeling like you’re recovering from it for the next month.

You’ve got this.
And I’m cheering you through the whole season.

Ever been told “It’s in your genes”… like your health is already decided for you?

Here’s the truth: Your genes load the gun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger.
Yes, some people inherit genes that increase their risk for insulin resistance… belly-fat storage, poor insulin response, sluggish energy after meals.

But those genes aren’t your destiny. They’re just information. Information you can work with — not fear.

When you move your body, build muscle, sleep well, and support your gut… you’re literally turning OFF the switches that push your metabolism toward insulin resistance.

Your daily habits can silence risky genes and activate the protective ones.
That’s the part most people never get told.

It’s easy to look at your DNA report and think, “Well, that’s it. My genes say so.”

But your genes aren’t the author of your story. They’re the outline.

How you eat, move, rest, and manage stress determines whether certain genes switch “on” or “off.”

That’s the beauty of functional nutrition — it reminds you that you have influence over your biology every single day.

Your genetic blueprint is simply information.
The way you live turns that information into transformation.

So instead of fearing what your genes might say,
Ask: What do my choices say to them?

✨ Empowerment starts with understanding, not surrender.

Learn how your genes guide your nutrient needs and how your choices change the story. 🔗 Link in comments

October photo dump...

One of my favorite months never disappoints.
This one was full of tennis matches,
a little music made with spoons,
stunning sunrises and sunsets,
an anniversary dinner to remember,
live music nights, and
plenty of cozy reading time on the back porch.
Here’s to more golden-hour moments and simple joys.

How was your October?

We have officially started the holiday season! While Halloween can be fun, even without little kiddos, remember it is one day of fun. Be careful not to turn it into a weekend party, or excuse to start on Monday.

Your mood, energy, and stress levels aren’t just “in your head.”

They’re deeply connected to your hormones, the chemical messengers that link your mind and body.

When your hormones are balanced, your emotions follow. 🧠💛💪

Learn how restoring balance helps you build emotional resilience — mind, body, and spirit.

If you’re eating “healthy” but still feel tired, bloated, or stuck—it’s not your willpower. It’s your hormones.

Your insulin, thyroid, cortisol, and other hormones shape how your body uses energy, handles stress, and burns fat. When they’re out of sync, even the cleanest diet can fall flat.

🍽️ Learn how to use food to bring your hormones (and your energy) back into balance.

We often hear about cortisol as the “stress hormone,” but it’s actually so much more. Cortisol helps you wake up, stay alert, and adapt to life’s challenges.

The key? Balance.

I want to share a bit of my experience in case it helps someone else out there.

For a while, I was feeling off — trouble focusing, restless sleep, just a general sense that something wasn’t right. Eventually got my hormones tested, and sure enough, my testosterone was low.

Started exploring treatment:
Tried threcream— didn’t do much for me.
Tried a pellet — wasn’t a fan
Now I’m on a troche l(basically a lozenge that dissolves under your tongue). It’s made at a compounding pharmacy and I take it daily. So far, it’s been a better fit.

If you’re not feeling like yourself — even if your doctor hasn’t brought it up — you can ask about hormone testing and explore different options. There’s no one-size-fits-all, but there options.

Most people think testosterone is a “male hormone” — but women make it too!
It quietly supports energy, mood, focus, and muscle strength at every stage of life.
Learn what happens when levels drop and how to keep them in balance.
