From our 🏡 to yours — wishing you light, love, good food, health, and joy this Diwali. ✨

Celebrations like these remind me how deeply food, culture, and community are intertwined — and how sharing a meal can truly brighten our hearts. 💛

May your days ahead be filled with flavor, laughter, and light.

What an unforgettable few days in Nashville! 🎶
This year’s FNCE (Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo®) was extra special — I received the National Media Excellence Award, presented my Learning Lounge session “The Power of Presence,” and reconnected with so many friends, colleagues, and mentors who continue to inspire me. 💛

From fun to the Executive Committee meeting, brand receptions, and the bustling Expo Hall — every moment reminded me how much I love being part of this profession.
It was wonderful meeting Susan Pac from in person (and seeing our upcoming webinar featured!) and catching up with favorite partners at events hosted by Tart🍒 Healthy Family Project, NOW foods, Wonderful Pistachios, and My Fitness Pal.

So many overlapping events — I appreciated all the invites and wish I could have joined every one!
Grateful for the laughter, learning, and love that filled this week.
’Til next year, FNCE 💛✨

🎉 Counting down to FNCE® 2025 in Nashville!

✨ What a joyful afternoon of Chai, Chat & Community!

Kay and I had the pleasure of co-hosting a private gathering and book signing to celebrate my dear friend and colleague, dietitian and author Sapna Punjabi, and her beautiful new book Dal Chawal.

As a fellow dietitian, author, and speaker, I love supporting colleagues who share their passion and culture through food. I’m glad we could create space for this meaningful event.

It was wonderful to come together with friends over chai, conversation, and stories—reminding us that food is so much more than what’s on our plate; it’s about heritage, memories, and community.

📚 Wishing Sapna all the best as she shares her book with the world!

💖 My heart is still so full from yesterday’s birthday…

It was a day of simple joys and so much love—strong coffee with a croissant, a relaxing massage, homemade lunch, heartfelt calls and texts, beautiful roses, and a cozy dinner.

A peaceful walk with Shadow 🐾 and planting new seedlings 🌱 were the perfect reminders to slow down, savor the moment, and celebrate growth in all its forms.

Feeling truly thankful, blessed, and loved. 🌸
Life is good.

✨ Everyone loves a “before and after”…
But here’s the truth: your journey isn’t a straight line from Point A to Point B.

If you’re a busy professional, parent, or simply juggling all the things—sometimes just getting in a balanced meal or taking a 10-minute walk feels like a win. 🙌

That in-between space—the messy middle—is actually where the growth happens.

Because every step (even the detours!) holds a lesson. And when you learn to course-correct along the way, you build:
→ Self-trust
→ Resilience
→ Habits that last 🌱

And that’s what creates real results—and helps you keep them.

💡 I’d love to hear from you:

💙 What an incredible week at ADCES25 (Aug 8–11)!

I’m still feeling energized and inspired from being surrounded by so many healthcare professionals passionate about improving diabetes care and education.

Some highlights for me:
🌱 Sharing simple, plant-based, and culturally inclusive strategies for blood sugar balance (fun fact: the recipe I demoed is in my cookbook My Indian Table!)
📊 Learning about CGM, AI, lifestyle medicine, and food as medicine
🎥 Recording short videos to spotlight the value of the DCES role
🤝 Connecting at the Beyond Type 1 Reception, Diabetes DPG Reception, and the Celebration Event

What stood out the most? The connections. Hearing attendees share how my session resonated—and even shifted their perspective—reminded me why I do this work.

I didn’t get to stop by every booth or chat with everyone, but I look forward to continuing the conversations. 💫

Feeling grateful for this amazing community and excited about what’s ahead in diabetes care and education.

Not all white foods are “bad” for diabetes. 🥔🍚🥛
And as I shared in this post by Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists — some can be surprisingly blood sugar-friendly!

Think tofu, cauliflower, yogurt, even potatoes…
It’s not about banning foods—it’s about how you build your plate.

Grateful to share my insights and help shift the conversation toward flexibility, balance, and cultural inclusivity in diabetes care. 💙

Just wrapped up a beautiful experience presenting “From Sacred Traditions to Modern Tables: Exploring Nutrition in India” to students and faculty at the Community College of Philadelphia.

We talked about the power of food as tradition, as nourishment, and as connection—from the Rg Veda to today’s plant-based movement.

So inspired by the questions, the warmth, and the rich exchange of ideas. Thank you to and the entire team who made this event so special.

✨ These moments remind me why I love what I do.

“Done is better than perfect.” – Sheryl Sandberg

If “starting over” is your go-to health strategy… maybe it’s time for a better one.

There’s something powerful about checking off even the smallest task ✅
It builds momentum — not pressure.
Trust — not shame.
Self-efficacy — the belief that you can count on yourself.

And that belief?
It’s the foundation for real, lasting change — whether your goal is balanced blood sugars, more energy, or just feeling more like yourself again.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to show up.

✨ What’s ONE small thing you’ll do today for your health?
More energy? Better sleep? Blood sugar balance?
Tell me below so I can cheer you on 👇
