The Best Tool for Weight Control

July 2, 2022August 17, 20222 Comments

I talk a lot about strategies to lose weight in the clinic. To be completely honest, I wish I didn't have to. I'd rather talk about any other health condition: diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, gout, kidney disease, cancer, arthritis, food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome...even constipation lol! Anything but weight loss. But unfortunately excess weight … Continue reading The Best Tool for Weight Control

What About Intermittent Fasting?

April 30, 2022April 30, 2022Leave a comment

I've been following the intermittent fasting (IF) trend for several years but the new April study in the New England Journal of Medicine brought it the forefront again. I worked on an article about IF for the Nutrition Source in 2017, so it was reassuring that this new study was entirely consistent with our content! … Continue reading What About Intermittent Fasting?

The No-Guilt Holiday – Really!

November 20, 2021November 20, 2021Leave a comment

Holidays should never be associated with guilt. But in my nutrition clinic as the fall approaches, I can hear growing apprehension from some patients about the food. All the amazing decadent glorious food! There are endless articles on how to prevent or slow down holiday pounds, but a once-yearly strategy may only add to the … Continue reading The No-Guilt Holiday – Really!

Where’s the Protein?

October 17, 2021November 20, 20216 Comments

I talk a lot about protein in the clinic. It’s a major macronutrient; "macro" means that our bodies need it every day because it's essential for almost every cell in the body to function. Protein is used to make muscles, skin and hormones. In some cases, people get too much protein: maybe fitness-minded folks who … Continue reading Where’s the Protein?

The Best Exercise Excuses

February 8, 2021February 9, 2021Leave a comment

Everyone says "I need to exercise more." Including me. I always feel good after any amount of exercise, even if I don't sweat. Sometimes I'm just moving my limbs enough to get blood flowing to body parts stiff from sitting for hours, or to oxygenate and refresh my foggy brain. My home gym is a … Continue reading The Best Exercise Excuses

That Dang Scale

January 3, 2021January 4, 2021Leave a comment

It's the one single device that can stand in the way of a client's success. That number. That dang 3-digit number. Even in this era of body positivity that yells "ditch the scale!", the reality is that many many people still weigh themselves every day and worship that number. I gently steer clients away from … Continue reading That Dang Scale

Whipped cottage cheese - sweet or savory. Replace cream cheese with whipped cottage cheese and you get a boost in protein and calcium. Use food processor to blend/aerate on high until cottage cheese becomes silky smooth. Make a sweet cheesecake bite with berries and dark chocolate drizzle on graham cracker (tastes great frozen!) or the perfect savory bite with tomato and balsamic vinegar on a ranch mini rice cake 😋👍

Who says vegan can’t be hearty? 💪🌱
Tired of drooling over these, so finally! Crust isn’t crusty but like a hearty biscuit. My fave was the Iraklion (eggplant, mushrooms, peppers) 💯
1st time in big beautiful Texas! 🤠 Spoke at the NKF conference in Austin, then headed to Houston and Galveston for R&R 👍👍
Warm pillowy gnocci 🍝 to make up for the ⬇️zero degree day last week 🥶
