Anchored Nutrition Care

12/17/2020

It’s official. As of today, Master of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health w/ a concentration in Human Clinical Nutrition = COMPLETE.

Thanking God for giving me the passion and resources to do this. Three years of long days packed with exciting, hard work. It was challenging, but it was pure joy.

A million thanks to my family and friends for the encouragement and prayers along the way. Also, big thanks to my mock clients! An extra special thanks/congrats to my fellow classmate and now forever friend, Alison!

And finally... a “thank you” won’t even cover it for my very soon to be husband (!), . For the endless encouragement, patience, letting me freely babble about nutrition, whipping up a healthy dinners when I was too swamped to cook, and for helping me GROW.

January 2021 will kick off a new phase of this career and some exciting work ahead! Until then... taking a breather and a brain break to enjoy Christmastime and wedding prep. 😁

Feeling FULL after this weekend’s The Beauty Boost retreat! Showing love by cooking functional food lights me up every time. Other highlights: pow-wowing with Kat of Luxe and Lemons in the kitch, swapping stories with inspirational women, fireside chats, the best massage of my life, beating Rachel in ping-pong... and supporting this awesome movement that my best friend created. 🙌🏼

Wrapped up another The Beauty Boost retreat with Laura, the Jane of trades to my left, Tonya the voice of reason to my right, Rachel, somewhere in the midst boosting everyone’s spirits, and Julie, coaching us all towards success and balance. Old friends, new faces.. always a blessing. Love you all. It was an honor cooking for you! 🙌🏼

Cooking Lab #3 crew . My eyes are closed here, but mind was open to “traditional foods” like lacto-fermentation, bone broth, and organ meats. Good stuff. Can’t wait to put this into practice! 🙌🏼

: 2 weeks ago at Summer Retreat! Fed these lovely women, loved seeing familiar faces + meeting new ones. Best part was working with two of my oldest, and dearest friends. Rachel - the mastermind behind it all! And Lauren - my right hand in the kitchen. Onto the next! 🙌🏼 @ Zion Christian Retreat

So, I REALLY need to catch up on BioChem, but this evening stroll was necessary. And so is posting about it. 👌🏼

If you can grill a meat, you can certainly cut a romaine heart in half, paint it with an herb based marinade, and grill up a salad.

Missing the ocean. Eating seaweed. Making a mess. Balancing hormones. Absorbing vitamins and minerals. Happy Thursday.

When homework doubles as meal-prep. 👌🏼
In my Complementary & Integrative Health class, we are asked to create art symbolizing the 5 concepts and write an analysis of it.
I can’t draw. I CAN sculpt food. I am hungry.

A worthwhile time-out for a hilly WOG (walk/jog) and some impromptu tennis .

Manuka, nice to meet ya! It saved the day and will now be a staple in my pantry. Why, though? Read here.

Last night, I was tinkering around Trader Joe’s per usual, and something whispered to me: “buy that Manuka honey.” I rarely use honey in my cooking, never add it to my tea, and don’t have much of a sweet tooth in general. However, I have a basic understanding that Manuka honey has some notew...

Wrapped another retreat created by my best friend Rachel Kerr! Julie Wilkes sparked a great conversation on manifestos in this morning’s coaching session. Here’s my favorite from the song “Manifesto”:

DON’T waste your hate.
Rather.. GATHER and CREATE.
Be of SERVICE.
Be a sensible person.
Use your words,
And don’t be nervous.
You can DO this, You’ve got Purpose.
Find your medicine..
And USE it.

I never know how to describe the feeling after cooking for The Beauty Boost retreats.. Equal parts grateful, inspired, LIT UP, and tired. Awesome weekend! 🙌🏼

And now.. back to chemistry. In a section about polysaccharides, I just learned why humans should not eat wood and paper. 🤓

I love this. No one-size-fits-all answer to self-care. Self-care isn't meant to be selfish... it's meant to help you recharge so that you can go back out into the world, strong enough to fulfill your purpose.

Did you use the right filter for that ‘gram of your impeccably prepared acai bowl?

LIT UP after cooking for + connecting with these women at Fall Retreat! Grateful beyond belief. 🙌🏼 (PS - Rachel, I am so proud of you.) (PSS - Photo credit to who also led this awesome closing session!)

The only thing my gut is doing right is telling me that "it ain't right". Mapping out the healing plan over a glass of charcoal/lemon tonic.
