Embrace these positive wellness messages this year.

Hello, Nutrition and healthy eating can be fraught with negative messages like “I can’t eat this,” “I cheated on my diet” or “I was bad today.” This kind of talk often backfires, taking the joy out of life and undermining a realistic, sustainable wellness program. As a registered dieti...

Loved being back at The Polo Club of Boca Raton 💚
Such a great conversation around positivity and nutrition — no shoulds, no can’ts, no guilt. 🎊✨😊

Instead of focusing on what to take away, we talked about what to add:
✨ Add more color to your plate
✨ Swap sugary drinks for water or herbal tea
✨ Add protein or fiber to stay satisfied

Small, positive adds make habit change healthier — mentally and physically.

Thank you to and guests for such great engagement and enthusiasm.

Few foods feel as instantly comforting as a hearty bowl of chicken noodle soup, especially during cold weather or illness. Is it actually good for you? Here’s what we want you to know. Thanks Daryl for including my insight via .

Comfort alone doesn’t determine whether a food is healthy. Ingredients, how the soup is prepared and how often it’s eaten influence nutritional value.

Here are some of my thoughts on the newly released dietary guidelines. Will they make America healthy again?! —

✅Here’s what I liked:
The guidelines emphasize eating an appropriate amount of food based on age, s*x, body size, and activity level. This renewed attention to portion size is especially important, as reducing portion sizes is one of the most effective strategies for helping people limit calorie intake for helping to reduce obesity.

I appreciate the increased emphasis on whole, unprocessed foods. Reducing consumption of highly processed foods, sugary beverages, and refined carbohydrates is a critical public health priority, given their strong links to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

The guidelines encourage eating vegetables and fruits throughout the day, particularly in their whole form, which supports fiber intake, nutrient density, and overall health. 🍎🫐🥦🥕

❌Here’s what I didn’t like:

The guidelines place a strong emphasis on animal-based protein sources, despite substantial evidence showing that plant-based proteins are associated with better long-term health outcomes. The research for prioritizing beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds, over animal protein is not well reflected here. 🥩🍗

Another concern is promoting saturated fat despite the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommending stronger limits based on current evidence linking saturated fat intake to cardiovascular disease.🫀

Interestingly, the guidelines kept the 10 percent limit for saturated fat, but it’s virtually impossible to meet that goal if you eat more red meat!! 🥩 sorry RFK Jr!! Did you do any meal-planning with the high saturated fat foods you recommended?

The higher protein recommendations also raise questions, as most Americans are not protein deficient. Increasing protein intake without parallel guidance on strength-based exercise may be unnecessary, and the upper range of the recommended intake may be higher than needed for most people.

We also just had a plate!! Remember MyPlate! The original pyramid was from 1992… a lot has happened since then!

Thoughts? I’d love to hear.

So grateful to speak at today on nutrition and health! 🙏

We had so many great questions—from the new inverted food pyramid (the original was better!), to what’s good for the gut (yogurt, miso), healthy fats to include ( olive oil nuts, not beef tallow), are smoothies healthy (depends how you make it), how much protein we should eat at a meal (less than you thinkink), and more.

Thank you for such an engaged and curious audience!

❌ 3 Nutrition Myths❌
A few common misconceptions I hear all the time 👇

🥛 Myth 1: Skim milk has more sugar than whole milk.
✅ False. All milk has the same amount of natural sugar (lactose)

🥔Myth 2: Potatoes cause diabetes.
✅ False. A baked potato is a nutritious, fiber-rich food. It’s the fried versions, like French fries🍟that can be unhealthy.

🍞 Myth 3: You must avoid starch to lose weight
✅ False. Whole-grain starches like oatmeal, buckwheat, and quinoa can absolutely be part of a healthy, balanced weight-loss plan. Portion size and quality matter.

What gives you a sense of peace? For me, it’s being by the beach. I spent time at the beach today in , feeling the sand under my feet and the breeze on my skin. I ended the day with SUNSET BEACH YOGA in —a yoga class by the water—moving, breathing, and letting the sound of the waves do the rest. Sandwiched in between, was a terrific lunch with good friends. I’m grateful for simple moments, a calm mind, and time to reconnect.

🎄🍪”Healthy Swaps” don’t always mean that they are healthier! They often backfire as they are overly restrictive and the food often doesn’t even taste good.

Low-fat or Fat-free: 
❌ These substitutes are often packed with other ingredients that do not help stabilize blood sugar or leave you satisfied. 

Natural Sugar and Sugar-Free:
❌ These swaps likely have the same calorie content, and carbs are still present. The belief that these swaps are “healthier” often leads to eating a larger portion. 

✅Eat mindfully, pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues, and control your portion size. 

✨🍽️Feel free to enjoy all of your favorite foods without swaps, spend time with your family, and celebrate the holidays!
