This is the restrictionโ€“binge cycle in action. Itโ€™s exhausting, discouraging, and far too common.

๐Ÿšซ Diets are not sustainable โ€” they set you up to fail by relying on willpower instead of real-life strategies.

โœ… Start by making small, realistic changes.
โœ… Focus on better choices, not perfect ones.
โœ… Nourish, donโ€™t punish.

Did you know that being overweight or obese can increase your risk of breast cancer, especially after menopause? This is due to higher estrogen levels and chronic inflammation from fat cells.

While no food can prevent breast cancer, eating well can make a big difference during treatment:
โœ”๏ธ Boosts energy
โœ”๏ธ Supports immunity
โœ”๏ธ Helps manage side effects
โœ”๏ธ Keeps your strength up

I'm Yvonne, a registered dietitian, and I'm here to help you nourish your body during your health journey.

Choosing to become healthier, stronger, or more energetic doesnโ€™t mean you were lacking before.

It simply means you're investing in the version of you that feels even better - physically, mentally, emotionally.
