One realistic, health-supportive shift I know you can accomplish - build at least one high-fiber meal into your day, every day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few tips to help you achieve this goal:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Add beans or lentils to soups, stews, salads, or grain bowls
-Start your day with a fiber-rich breakfast. For example, oatmeal topped with nuts, berries, and seeds.
-Fill at least half your plate with vegetables.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Increase fiber gradually and make sure to drink enough water—this helps your gut adapt and supports comfortable digestion. This simple habit can meaningfully support your blood sugar, cholesterol, gut health, and overall healthspan and longevity.

Something we don’t talk about enough regarding women’s cardiovascular health ⬇️💘

Women’s health history—including pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, and timing of menopause all impact cardiovascular disease risk. Similarly, managing blood sugar and insulin sensitivity are crucial components to cardiovascular risk reduction. Exercise and stress management are important parts of regulating blood glucose, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk.

Remember, the best exercise is the one you’ll actually do, whether it’s cardio, strength training, dance, or any other movement you love. Ideally, we need a combination of these modalities, but doing what you’ll stick to is key, and then we can build from there!

February is American Heart Month! ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death of US adults. Before we end this month, I want to share a few key guidelines with you about maintaining heart health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eat a plant-rich diet. There are a number of studies in the medical literature on what the optimal diet should be to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The sometimes conflicting information can feel overwhelming. Here are a few things we can all agree on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Eat whole foods, mostly plants (no matter which diet you follow, if you follow one, always eat mostly plants!) Mediterranean diet has the greatest scientific support for cardiovascular disease prevention.
-Avoid processed food.
-Avoid added sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
-Eat mindfully, and stop eating before you start to get the sensation of fullness.
-Maintain a normal weight.
-Avoid sugary beverages. A study recently found that those who drink more than 12 ounces of sugary beverages per day were found to have >50% higher incidence of high triglycerides and almost 100% higher incidence of low “good” cholesterol, compared to those who drank less than 12 ounces per month.
-Exercise. Doing consistent aerobic exercise is key. If you are sedentary, start a supervised exercise program. Research shows that while those who are physically active can halve their risk of a heart attack and sudden cardiac death, intense exercise training can be risky for some individuals.
-If you smoke, QUIT!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those with cardiovascular disease, a lifestyle modification program including nutrition, stress management, fitness, support from community and loved ones, can significantly reduce risk factors for heart disease, such as body mass index, blood pressure, total and “bad” cholesterol and exercise capacity. According to the American Heart Association, 1 in 4 heart attack and clot-related stroke survivors will have another. It’s never too late to change your habits and get healthier – the earlier, the better.

Honored to join the 100 Women of Impact and launch our initiative with the event to benefit last week.

The conversations we’re having around this table feel urgent, thoughtful, and action-oriented. Proud to be in the room, and committed to carrying this work forward.

This salad is an excellent source of dietary fiber, primarily from the cruciferous vegetables, legumes, nuts, and fruit. One generous serving (approx. 1 cup) contains an estimated 10–11 grams of dietary fiber.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Brussels sprouts, kale, and carrots are rich in insoluble fiber, aiding digestion.
-Chickpeas provide a significant boost of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
-Dates, walnuts, pistachios, and pomegranates contribute additional fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to Melissa Reade, our wonderful BOJANA MD nutritionist and health coach, for putting this recipe together!

Here’s an example of what my snack plate could look like:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-2 hard-boiled eggs. Eggs are rich in protein, choline, iron, zinc, vitamins A, B12 and riboflavin. Hard-boiled eggs are a great thing to batch-cook and then keep on hand in the fridge for easy breakfast or snack.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Sliced red bell peppers. High in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. I love the flavor and the crunch.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Ella’s Flats. I’ve mentioned these before - they’re a delicious seed cracker (sunflower, pumpkin, flax, and chia seeds) that are high in both fiber and protein.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-And because I’m Serbian...we’ve got to have a little feta on the plate! Fats are best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced meal or snack like this one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When putting together your own snack plate, focus on whole foods and put together a combination that will give you a boost of both protein and fiber. This combo will help you stay full and satiated until your next meal.

The vagus nerve is often described as the body’s “superhighway of communication.” It plays a central role in gut health, stress response regulation, and the mind-body connection. From digestion and inflammation to mood and metabolic health, a healthy vagus nerve is essential to whole-body health. Supporting vagus nerve health is a powerful way to care for the gut-brain axis, mental health, and emotional well-being. Through consistent lifestyle practices — from mindful breathing to exercise and social engagement — we can support our overall health and enhance stress resilience. Comment “VAGUS” and we’ll DM you the link to the full blog post.

Jumping on the 2016 throwback trend! It’s a year I have fond memories of, and in retrospect, a year of transformation and growth. Balancing being a working mom of two small children in my first job, long distance relationship with my husband LA-NYC for a year, and continuing medical education. While practicing as a primary care physician at Cedars Sinai Medical Group, I began my integrative medicine fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, which planted the seed for me to later start BOJANA MD. With the goal of learning how to create a little more space between stimulus and response and expand my awareness, I completed a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course at InsightLA. Still working on this…I also completed an Ayurvedic training at the Chopra Center which helped me appreciate other systems of healing and understanding the human experience.
There were many beautiful moments of family time, friendship and travel. Hiking in my neighborhood in LA, baking with my kids, attending the US Open and the Emmys, birthdays, and leading some of my first workshops and starting to advise health tech start ups.
