Am I the only parent out there who feels like feeding kids is a full-time job? In this blog post, I share my simple formula for putting together a nutrient-dense plate as well as some examples of what I feed my three kids. Let me know if you give any of these a try!

You may think that because I’m a nutrition therapist my kids only eat healthy foods, even willingly perhaps. Well, not exactly. My kids are kids, and if given the choice between pretzels or oven-roasted cauliflower, they’re going to choose the pretzels every time. Lucky for them (😉), one of m...

Attention employers! Don't miss out on this opportunity to provide your employees with a fresh and unique wellness benefit. As we come out of winter and head into spring & summer, your employees are probably reassessing their health goals. Why not give them a helping hand by offering some nutritional information to complement their workout routines? Employee presentations, like the ones I've given to Kennebec Savings Bank, have been really well received and continue to be one of my favorite ways to share my love of healthy eating. I invite you to message me today to learn more!

Giving employee presentations, as I've done at the Kennebec Valley Community Action Program, has become one of my favorite nutrition services. It benefits both the employer and the employee—it's a win-win!

Want to have fewer employee sick days?

What about less burnout and more productivity?

Is boosting employee morale important to you?

If you said yes to any of these, I invite you to consider offering nutrition education to your employees. This can be a great supplement to any wellness package you already offer, which likely focuses on physical movement and not so much on healthy food choices.

But guess what? You can’t out-walk a bad diet, and your employees want to know what to eat!

So, what does something like this look like?

Well, the options are endless, but here’s one idea:

Employee presentations, like the one in this photo. I recently gave a lunch & learn presentation to employees at Kennebec Savings Bank. The topic was a holistic approach to supporting the immune system, particularly during sick season.

Did you hear the news last week? Sustainable Nutrition, LLC is now officially located at Basics Fitness Center in South Portland!

When Matt & I met over the holidays, I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of the community he and his family have built at Basics.

I’m still getting settled, but so far, everyone I have chatted with (staff and members alike) has been incredibly warm and friendly, excitedly welcoming me into their wellness space.

While having an office is surreal enough, what I’m most blown away by is Matt and his team's immediate faith in me to help their members improve their health.

I truly could not think of a better way to start 2025!

More to come as we get this collaboration rolling!

A gentle reminder to get outside when you can. Even a 5-minute walk around the block can do wonders for your mood and headspace.

In last week's newsletter, I shared my current quest to heal my psoriasis. One of the areas I'm focusing on is stress management, and walks are a GREAT way to reduce stress!

And we're back! Around the beginning of July, I realized I needed to refocus my attention and take my own advice on filling my cup (which had become bone dry). I'm looking forward to slowly getting back into social media this month and ramping things up come September!

In the meantime, here is one of my favorite recipes, especially in the summertime: Grilled Turkey Burgers! You can read why in the recipe. Enjoy!

Move over omelet! Egg scrambles are taking the spotlight and will be the star of my breakfast show until further notice! Every time I make an omelet the egg breaks apart 🤷🏻‍♀️, so instead I just scramble a couple eggs, move them around the pan, and add in whatever ingredients are calling my name.

Check out 4 of my easy egg scrambles that make for a quick, healthy, protein-packed breakfast!

Sure, takeout is convenient and all, but sometimes a little planning (even 5 minutes the night before or in the morning) can give you a meal that's just as quick *and* better for you, even on the busiest of nights.

Now listen, I love takeout just as much as the next person, but what I don't always love are the ingredients, mainly highly processed, industrial seed oils, which wreak havoc on our cells and can cause chronic inflammation ❌

My solution? Make sure the freezer is stocked with easy, no-fuss options, like pre-pattied burgers, nitrate & nitrite-free chicken sausage or hotdogs, and pasture-raised chicken breasts. These defrost quickly and can cook on the grill or in the pan in the time it takes to have your takeout delivered.

Serve alongside some raw veggies, like carrot sticks, cucumbers or broccoli, and some lentil-based pasta with pesto, and you have yourself a healthy, quick meal. It may not be the prettiest dish, but it makes that late afternoon at the pool a little less stressful 😎
