Honored. Grateful. Humbled. 💛

Being named one of the 100 Successful Women to Know with Gulf Coast Woman Magazine is an honor I’ll never forget. To be recognized among hundreds of powerhouse women who are shaping our community is truly inspiring.

For the past 10 years, I’ve poured my heart into our beloved Coast through my love of nutrition—educating, supporting, and walking alongside others on their wellness journeys. What started as a dream has grown into a purpose far greater than I could’ve imagined, and I’m so, so grateful to see the good it inspires in our coastal towns.

Thank you to my incredible community for allowing me to serve you, grow with you, and do what I love every single day. Here’s to continuing the work, one healthy step at a time. Like says, “Celebrate the dreamer in you!” 🧡

Is there anything more summer than a fresh watermelon?! Watermelon isn’t just delicious — it’s a nutrition powerhouse! 🍉✨

Here are 5 science-backed reasons to enjoy some watermelon this summer:

💧 Hydration Hero: With over 90% water content, watermelon helps keep you hydrated — especially important during hot summer months or after workouts. (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/167765/nutrients)

❤️ Heart Health Support: Watermelon contains citrulline, an amino acid that may help improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30029482/) It also contains lycopene, which can help lower your cholesterol levels. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33187365/)

🍊 Vitamin C Boost: One cup provides a solid dose of vitamin C — an antioxidant that supports immune function and skin health. (https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/167765/nutrients)

🔥 Inflammation Fighter: Packed with lycopene and vitamin C, watermelon may help fight chronic inflammation linked to various diseases. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33187365/)

🦴 Bone & Joint Health: Lycopene and other plant compounds in watermelon may improve bone strength and reduce the risk of joint inflammation. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33187365/)

And the benefits don’t stop there! Next time you slice into a juicy watermelon, know you’re doing your body a big favor! 🍉
