Try this smarter way to cut 300+ calories a day — without feeling deprived!⬇️✅

Hello, If you’ve followed my work, you know I often recommend eating smaller portions of ultra-processed and less healthy foods while filling your plate with healthy portion sizes of nourishing choices.

I was grateful to speak with the teachers at the Early Childhood Center at Ramaz about nutrition in early childhood. 🍎 (This is a photo of me getting ready right before my talk.)

We discussed the importance of keeping food neutral, not labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” and supporting children in building a healthy relationship with eating.

The environment teaches as much as the food. 🌱
Thank you for the warm welcome and for the important work you do every day!

Did you know:➡️You can boost your health in a simple way—by adding more fiber to your day 🌿

Fiber helps keep you full, supports heart health, and keeps your digestion running smoothly.

The best part? It’s easy to include:
Add beans to a salad, choose whole grains, or enjoy fruit as a snack.

Small additions, big benefits.

🍫 Enjoy these Crunchy Chocolate Chickpea Bites!

If you love chocolate and you love chickpeas but never thought about eating them together, try these crunchy chocolate chickpea bites. A winner!

They combine fiber and plant protein from chickpeas with healthy fats from walnuts and olive oil, plus your sweet fix (oh and some antioxidants) from dark chocolate. Sweet, crunchy, and satisfying. Yummm
Ingredients:
• 1 can chickpeas
• ½ cup shredded coconut
• ¾ cup dark chocolate
• ¼ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup walnuts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of sea salt

Directions:
Rinse chickpeas and gently roll them between paper towels to remove the skins.

Toss chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil and spread on a baking sheet.

Bake at 400°F for about 32 minutes, mixing halfway through so they cook evenly.

About 2–4 minutes before they finish baking, add the shredded coconut and let it toast until golden brown. Melt the dark chocolate.

Mix the roasted chickpeas and toasted coconut with the dried cranberries.

Pour the melted chocolate over the mixture and stir to combine. Place clusters of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with chopped walnuts (or any toppings you like) and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Chill in the freezer for 5–10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

A sweet treat that’s good for you and tastes great too. A win-win!

So grateful to be back at Club discussing longevity. 💚

We explored what it really means to “live well, live long” and what we can learn from centenarians around the world.

From the foods they eat to the daily habits they practice, the message is clear: small, consistent choices add up to a vibrant, purposeful life.

We talked about:
• Nourishing foods that fuel health and longevity
• The power of daily habits—movement, connection, and purpose
• Creating an environment that makes healthy choices easier

Living to 100 isn’t just about years—it’s about quality of life. And the good news? So many of these habits are within our reach.

Thank you for such a warm welcome and for being part of this meaningful conversation!

Have you ever looked at your plate and wondered what the “right” amount of food actually looks like?

You’re not alone. In a world of oversized portions and confusing nutrition advice, it’s easy to lose sight of what balanced eating really means.

And here’s the truth: there’s no one “right” portion. It’s about what’s right for you.

Feeling your best isn’t just about what you eat — it’s also about how you eat. When you learn to build a balanced plate, tune into your hunger cues, and create supportive habits, everything starts to shift.

That’s exactly what we focus on in my signature course, The Wellness Reset — a practical, positive approach to healthy eating and sustainable weight loss.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:
• Build a balanced plate
• Become more portion aware
• Decode food labels
• Create a healthier food environment
• Develop a winning mindset around eating

Small shifts can lead to powerful, lasting results.

🥜 Is peanut butter bad for cholesterol or is it actually heart-healthy? Let’s talk.

Many people believe that peanut butter is “bad” for cholesterol because of its high fat content. However, when eaten in moderation, it can absolutely be a part of a healthy diet.

Peanut butter contains:
✅ Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats.
These help lower LDL “bad” cholesterol and support HDL levels.
✅ Plant sterols and fiber.
These reduce cholesterol absorption.

In addition, it is also a good source of:
🌿 Niacin
🌿 Vitamin E
🌿 Magnesium

Here’s what to watch out for:
🥜 Choose natural options to avoid hydrogenated oils and added sugars.
🥄 Portion-size matters. Stick to 1-2 tablespoons.

Thank you Daryl Austin from for including my insights in your important piece!

Breaking the diet mentality starts with changing the way we talk to ourselves about food and exercise.

So many of us grow up believing that food needs rules, that exercise is punishment, and that we have to be perfect to be healthy. But sustainable wellness doesn’t work that way.

Instead, try reframing the conversation:

• “I can’t eat that” → I can enjoy it in moderation.
• “I need to burn this off” → Movement is about strength, energy, and feeling good.
• “This is a cheat meal” → This is food I enjoy.
• “I need to be perfect” → Consistency matters more than perfection.

A healthy relationship with food is not about restriction. It’s about balance, mindfulness, and realistic habits you can sustain for life.

Small mindset shifts can make a big difference.
