Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day 💚

I feel incredibly grateful to be part of a profession dedicated to helping people nourish their bodies and improve their health.

For nearly three decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate diabetes, chronic disease, and everyday health decisions by turning complex nutrition science into guidance that works in real life.

I’m also continually inspired by the many dietitians doing meaningful work across healthcare, research, community programs, media, and industry.

Grateful to call myself an RDN and proud to celebrate the colleagues who make this profession so impactful.

To my fellow RDNs here, what part of your work brings you the most joy?

From Los Angeles to Paris 🇫🇷

I had the honor of presenting virtually today at the 6th International Conference on Diabetes, Endocrinology & Integrative Medicine.

We explored what the evidence supports when it comes to plant-predominant nutrition in diabetes care:

• Improvements in insulin sensitivity and A1c
• Cardiometabolic risk markers
• Inflammation and gut health
• Practical implementation in everyday life

In practice, the conversation is not about rigid rules or dietary labels. It is about helping people identify sustainable patterns that improve metabolic health while honoring culture, preferences, and enjoyment of food.

Starting this conversation during National Nutrition Month feels especially timely. Nutrition remains foundational in chronic disease care.

Grateful to share and to continue learning alongside colleagues across the globe.

Eating Disorder Awareness Week is a reminder that recovery is rarely loud.

It is quiet, consistent work.
It is learning to sit with fear without letting it lead.
It is choosing nourishment even when it feels uncomfortable.

The teens and young adults I work with are some of the bravest people I know. Recovery asks them to do the very thing that feels hardest, to loosen control and rebuild trust.

What can look like discipline on the outside is often anxiety underneath.

Recovery does not happen in isolation. It takes a thoughtful, collaborative team. Medical providers, therapists, dietitians, and families working together with steadiness and care.

Recovery is not about perfection. It is about rebuilding trust with hunger, with flexibility, with your body.

Steady progress matters. Sustainable progress matters.

Healing is possible. And no one should have to navigate it alone.

Feeling wired at night but exhausted in the morning?

Cortisol often gets labeled the “stress hormone,” but you actually need it. What matters is balance.

When cortisol is aligned with your natural rhythm, you wake up alert, handle challenges with more ease, and fall asleep without your mind racing.

When it’s off, you may feel wired yet drained, crave caffeine or sugar all day, or struggle to sleep.

I’m honored to share my first bylined article in India West, where I discuss what balanced cortisol looks like and simple, practical ways to support it through consistent meals, morning light, and small daily pauses.

These are not extreme changes. They’re foundational shifts.

Small daily habits restore stability.

Save this if it sounds familiar.

Super Bowl Sunday is here. My Rams didn’t make it, but this recipe is still a winner.

This Mediterranean-style nacho bake is one of my favorite game day upgrades. Bold flavor, real ingredients, and something that feels just as good after the game as it does during it.

Fun food should still let you feel good when the game is over.

Quick recipe snapshot:
Mediterranean nacho bake with whole-grain chips, hummus, veggies, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until warm, finish with lemon and herbs, serve hot.

What are you snacking on during the 🏈 game?

Apparently this is the latest trend.
I smiled when I saw it because it actually captures a lot of my work.

Educating. Speaking. Writing. Coaching.
Helping people make sense of blood sugar, diabetes, and plant-forward eating in a way that feels realistic, cultural, and sustainable.

What it doesn’t show
The long walks that spark ideas
The deep, thoughtful conversations
The behind-the-scenes strategy that turns science into real life

Nearly three decades in, and I still love this work.
If you’re someone who values personalized guidance, nuance, and long-term thinking around your health, you’re in the right place.

Today, we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It’s a powerful reminder that courage, conviction, and compassion can change the world, one small step at a time.

A question that comes up a lot in my work is:
What’s one simple habit that actually supports brain health over time?

I recently shared my perspective with Real Simple, and my answer often surprises people.
It’s not about a trendy supplement or doing more.

It’s green tea, including matcha.

What makes it stand out is the unique combination of antioxidants like EGCG, L-theanine, and gentle caffeine, supporting focus and calm without the jitters. And the real benefit comes from consistency, not perfection.

Think small, sustainable shifts:
• swapping your second cup of coffee
• adding matcha to a smoothie or oatmeal
• sipping green tea after meals as a calming ritual

This is the lens I bring to my work every day: practical science that fits real lives.

Curious, are you more of a coffee drinker or a tea drinker? ☕️🍵

The new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines are out, and before jumping to what’s controversial, I want to start with what’s working.

There’s a strong emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and dietary fiber, along with continued guidance to prioritize whole grains. That matters. Most Americans still fall short on fiber, and higher-fiber eating patterns are consistently linked to better cardiometabolic health, gut health, and steadier blood sugars.

What I appreciate most is the focus on patterns rather than perfection. Nutrition works best when it supports progress, flexibility, and real life, not rigid rules.

The Guidelines help set direction at a population level. The real impact happens when they’re translated into practical, personalized strategies that fit real people and real lives.

More to come next on where nuance really matters 👀

Your word of the year isn’t a goal — it’s a compass.

As we step into 2026, I’m sharing a simple way to choose a word that supports your health, energy, and mindset — without extremes or all-or-nothing thinking.

01/03/2026

If you’re a busy, high-achieving adult navigating health goals in real life, this is for you 👇

Your Word of the Year isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing how you want to feel and letting that guide your food choices, routines, boundaries, and self-care.

One well-chosen word can help you:
→ make supportive choices even when motivation dips
→ stay grounded instead of overwhelmed
→ build habits that actually last (hello blood sugar balance and consistent energy)

💭 Choose a word that reflects how you want to live in 2026, not another rule to follow.

👇 What’s your word? Drop it below or leave a 🔥 if you’re still deciding.
👀 Follow for evidence-based nutrition, mindset shifts, and practical wellness strategies for real life.

Welcoming 2026 the same way I welcome every new season — with intention, balance, and foods that nourish both culture and health.

This simple Indian meal of black-eyed peas, sautéed cabbage, and whole-grain chapati is more than tradition. It’s fiber-rich, plant-powered, and supportive of steady blood sugars.

In many cultures, black-eyed peas symbolize prosperity and good fortune. I love that they also deliver something even more meaningful — nourishment that lasts beyond one meal.

Here’s to a year of mindful choices, joyful eating, and health that feels sustainable and inclusive.

Happy New Year ✨
