Unless you’ve been living under a rock, your social media has likely been bombarded with the miracle weight loss drug Ozempic the past few months. There is a lot of information, rumors, and confusion out there. I figured I would do my best to break down exactly what the medicine is, how it works, and who would benefit from taking it. 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...]

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...]
