Prepping is officially underway for Third Thursday’s Barking Lot Party. 🐶

I’ll be downtown with dog treats, recipes, and nutrition resources because:�✔ dogs deserve treats�✔ humans deserve compassion around food�✔ nobody needs another diet

Come visit my table and say hello!

Beans are one of the most underrated nutritious foods.

They’re packed with:
✔ Fiber
✔ Plant protein
✔ Iron
✔ Magnesium
✔ Potassium
✔ Folate

And that combination can support:
→ heart health
→ blood sugar regulation
→ digestion
→ fullness and satisfaction

A lot of nutrition advice online focuses on expensive supplements or complicated foods.

But sometimes the most impactful foods are also the simplest—and most affordable.

👇 What’s your favorite way to eat beans?

One of the most consistent findings in nutrition research?

👉 People who live the longest tend to eat beans regularly.

In fact, research has shown that legume intake is one of the strongest dietary predictors of longevity across different populations.

And in areas of the world where people live the longest (often called “Blue Zones”), beans are a daily staple.

Not expensive supplements.
Not complicated diets.

Just simple, consistent habits—like including beans more regularly.

If you’re not sure where to start, this is one of my favorite ways to add them in 👇

👇 Do you include beans in your meals?

If there’s one food I consistently wish my clients ate more of… it’s beans.

And not green beans—
I mean black beans, chickpeas, lentils, pinto beans.

They’re one of the simplest ways to add more fiber, protein, and key nutrients to your day—without overcomplicating things.

But a lot of people either don’t eat them… or think they don’t like them.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to walk you through why they’re worth revisiting—and how to start adding them in (without it feeling overwhelming).

👇 Are beans part of your routine right now?

“Who should you trust for nutrition advice?”

A client sent me this message today for Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day, and it meant a lot. ❤️

March is National Nutrition Month, and today we celebrate the work dietitians do to help people navigate nutrition in a world full of confusing and often conflicting advice.

Nutrition information is everywhere—social media, podcasts, influencers, books—but not all of it is reliable. That’s why credentialed professionals matter.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs):
• Complete extensive education in nutrition science
• Complete supervised clinical training
• Pass a national board exam
• Maintain continuing education throughout their career

If you’re ever unsure about nutrition advice you see online, it’s always okay to ask:
“What does the evidence say?”

And thank you to the clients who trust me to be part of their health journey. It’s truly an honor. 🙏

In addition to working one-on-one with clients, I also serve as an Associate Adjunct Professor. Mondays are my class-focused days, and this week my students are discussing weight stigma. It’s always one of the hardest discussions to read because so many people carry painful memories of body-size criticism that replay in their minds for years.

While watching the Super Bowl, I saw a powerful Dove commercial about girls quitting sports after being criticized for their body size. It brought tears to my eyes: https://youtu.be/jnpn1u21DT8?si=KrUStNMMh9Fs04jf

Moments like this remind me why this work matters so much. We can move our bodies, live fully, and be capable at every size, across genders, and across levels of physical ability. Every person deserves respect, dignity, and support—not criticism.

Let’s continue working toward a world where kindness replaces body shaming, in locker rooms, classrooms, clinics, and conversations everywhere.

All bodies are good bodies. 💛

“When ice cream is that good, sometimes the spoon just isn’t enough 🍦🙃 Eating should be satisfying, joyful, and yes—even a little messy sometimes. Food isn’t meant to be stressful—it’s meant to be enjoyed. 💕

Ever feel tempted to eat something just because it looks delicious? That’s sight hunger.

Sight hunger happens when you’re drawn to food based on how it looks—like a perfectly frosted cupcake or a colorful fruit platter—even if you’re not physically hungry.

This kind of hunger is normal and valid.
✨ Eating with your eyes is part of the experience—and honoring that desire without guilt supports a peaceful relationship with food.

This is Part 4 in my series on the different types of hunger. Next up: emotional hunger 💛

Not hungry yet—but know you will be soon? That’s practical hunger.
This type of hunger isn’t always felt in the stomach—it’s about using your head and your body to fuel yourself with care.

Maybe you’re heading into a long meeting or a busy afternoon and you won’t get a chance to eat for a while. Honoring your needs before hunger hits is a smart and compassionate choice.

✨ This is Part 2 in my series on the different types of hunger. Stay tuned for more—including taste hunger, emotional hunger, and sight hunger.

🌾Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a plant-based powerhouse that’s technically a seed, but cooked like a grain. It’s naturally gluten-free and a complete protein—meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscles. 🙌
✨ Unlike many animal-based proteins, quinoa is low in saturated fat and packed with fiber, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. It’s a heart-healthy option that supports energy, digestion, and muscle recovery—especially important for active folks!
💡 Try it as a base for grain bowls, in soups, or mixed with roasted veggies and a drizzle of olive oil. It’s quick to cook and toddler-approved in my house too. 😉 Pictured is quinoa taco meat from that’s super easy and delicious: https://minimalistbaker.com/quinoa-taco-meat/
