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...]

My Current Workout Routine: I currently workout 5-6 days a week and the other 1-2 days are active recovery days where I will walk, stretch, take a yoga class, or nothing at all if I don’t have time. I switch up my workouts daily to keep it interesting. The past year or so I have really focused my workouts around strength training. This post explains why strength training for women is so … [Read more...]

I was complaining to a dietitian friend of mine the other day (we love to geek out about nutrition stuff) that I’m just always so hungry at night and eating a lot after dinner some nights. Yes, this even happens to Registered Dietitians. I know all the reasons this is happening, but I wasn’t making it a priority to tighten up my behaviors during the day avoid feeling this way in the evening. … [Read more...]

I’m guilty of getting in ruts and serving my kids the same thing on repeat. It’s easy to do, but limits their exposure to new foods and also limits variety which impacts the diversity of nutrients they are getting in their diet (same as us). I like to think of snacks as a mini meal. I try to offer a balance of nutrients including protein and fiber to actually fill them up. If you’re just … [Read more...]

To be honest I’m a total homebody, so I don’t find myself in too many situations that make me feel uncomfortable about not drinking. However, when I first started this journey last August I was nervous how people would respond when I told them I wasn’t drinking. I’ve learned that if people are real friends they won’t care and will make you feel comfortable regardless. I’m not judging them … [Read more...]

With all of the Ozempic buzz and trendy weight loss tips and tricks on social media these days it can be easy to fall into the toxicity of diet culture. There is no shortage of health and wellness “influencers” social media right now sharing all the things they do in the name of health. There can be a fine line between wanting to lose weight and falling into the diet culture trap. What does … [Read more...]

One of the biggest health trends I’m seeing this year is a reduction in people’s alcohol intake. People are significantly cutting back on drinking for many different reasons, myself included. This journey started for me back in August and I wrote a blog post about what was going on for me and why I decided to take a break with alcohol. I don’t like labels, so I would never say I’m “sober” … [Read more...]

The nutrition and wellness world is always changing. With new scientific studies always emerging what we know to be true about nutrition has changed overtime. So much of what I learned about when I was in school for dietetics is dated. Ultimately, I always encourage people to eat the way that makes them feel best. When I work with clients though and they want guidance I will give them my … [Read more...]

If you follow us on IG stories you know we are up early working out, drinking all the bevies, and getting our day started right. Here are my morning essentials! xx, A … [Read more...]
