Celebrating my 41st with one of my all-time favorite flavor combos! 🍫🥥

I’ve already made these Healthy German Chocolate Cake Bars three times this week for recipe testing and pics and no one in my house is mad about it 😅
Fudgy, chocolatey, and loaded with coconut + pecans—made with real, wholesome ingredients.

These no-bake German Chocolate Cake Bars have a rich chocolatey base, a coconut-pecan layer, and a simple dark chocolate topping. They’re so good, have all the classic German chocolate cake flavors, and are naturally sweetened with dates and maple syrup for a healthier take on a favorite.

What do DEXA, RMR, and VO₂ actually tell you at 40?

I tested all of it at 40 — and the results were eye-opening.

I collaborated with Live Lean Rx Colorado Springs and a huge thanks to Deanna for walking me through the data and insights that actually matter!

I got tested at Live Lean RX to measure my body composition, metabolic rate, and cardiovascular fitness. Here's what a DEXA scan, RMR test, and VO2 max test ...

The new dietary guidelines just dropped—and as a dietitian, I've got thoughts. 📊

I'm cutting through the political jargon and diving into the scientific guide to give you the real deal: what actually changed, what stayed the same, and what it means for how you eat.

The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are here, and as a registered dietitian, I’m breaking down the nutrition science behind protein recommendation...

Boring habits that actually work for long-term health aren’t flashy, but they’re the reason some people make progress and others keep starting over.

As a registered dietitian, I see this all the time. It’s not the detox, the supplement, or the “new plan.”
It’s the boring stuff:
• eating enough protein most days
• cooking at home more often
• strength training consistently
• moving your body daily
• planning meals (even loosely)
• sleeping like it matters
Not exciting. Very effective.

I’ll just leave this here… carbs aren’t the enemy.

And yes, I’ve got thoughts on the new Dietary Guidelines coming soon.
