Summer is winding down and the back to school posts are going strong! I know packing school lunches can be an added stress for many parents. It’s just one more thing to do before your kiddo heads out the door during a hectic school morning. Personally, I like packing lunches and having Quinn eat at school. Why? Because she’s forced to sit down to eat. Over the summer, she often just … [Read more...]

With fall right around the corner and the kids heading back to school you may find yourself craving the routine this brings. Summer can be a busy time filled with all the things that can throw us off our usual routines. Think travel, late nights, kids home all day, eating out more, parties etc. While all of these things are fun, and what summer is all about, you may be craving a bit of a reset. … [Read more...]

I’ve been having the best time playing more pickleball this summer. I’ve found a good group of women to play with and my husband and I will occasionally play mixed doubles on Saturday mornings. It’s such a fun and social sport that I’ve really enjoyed getting into. This sport is growing like crazy, so I thought I would share my pickleball must haves to help you get started ;) xx, A … [Read more...]

It’s no secret Heather and I are big fans of the Huberman Lab podcast. His podcasts can be intimidating due to the heavy science talk and length of the episodes. I did write up a while back on one his best episodes with Dr. Layne Norton , but I thought it could be helpful to write up some of his tips and tricks I’ve found most helpful (and a few that just aren’t for me). Morning sunlightI … [Read more...]

What is Ozempic?Ozempic is a GLP-1 agonist drug. GLP-1 … [Read more...]

I like to update this post at least once a year because you guys are always asking about supplements and I want this reference to be current. I get my labs drawn every 6-12 months; as well as, reading, learning, and experimenting with new supplements, and I’m making tweaks to my routine. My ultimate goal is to feel my best and there are so many amazing products on the market these days that … [Read more...]

At the beginning of the year I made a vision board to help me visualize what I wanted to focus on in the New Year. People typically lose steam 2-3 months into the New Year with their goals, so I find it helpful to check in throughout the year to reset, motivated, and make adjustments as needed to the lofty goals we set 6 months ago. “Enjoy the little things” I feel like I’m getting better at … [Read more...]

My inbox is always full of nutrition related articles as I’m always trying to stay current on nutrition trends and the science. I thought it would be fun to share 5 articles (one is a podcast) I read the past week or so that I found interesting- and you might too ;) Is Dairy Milk Good for You?Dairy is always a hot topic with so much misinformation. I get asked all the time if cows milk is … [Read more...]

When I tell people I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) many people don’t exactly know what that means, how that differs from a “nutritionist”, and what my path to become a dietitian entailed. Growing up I played very competitive soccer. I did well in school, but soccer was my life and my passion. I took a handful of soccer recruiting trips to colleges out of state, but then last … [Read more...]

I love a matching workout set lately. It’s so easy to throw on and look put together for a workout or throw on a half zip over it for errands. I’m loving bright colors for spring and summer (think orange, pink, and blues) but I’ve also linked some pretty tan, chambray, and black sets as well. I’ve also linked sets at all different price points to meet any budget. Which is your … [Read more...]
