A salad is only as healthy as the dressing you pour on it. 🥗

I was featured in Taylor Ann Spencer’s Delish article, “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐲, 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬,” alongside Lauren Manaker, M.S., R.D.N., L.D. to share what to look for when choosing store-bought salad dressing.

We talked about what makes a dressing a better choice, from vinaigrettes made with olive oil or avocado oil to why creamy dressings are not always the villain.

And while a homemade vinaigrette is great, a smart store-bought option can still have a place in a healthy routine.

It really comes down to knowing what to check for on the label, from the type of oil used to added sugar, sodium, artificial flavors, and the overall ingredient list.

A fracture.
A scan.
A doctor’s appointment.
A random moment where you suddenly realize your body has been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work for you.

But your bones are living tissue. They are constantly rebuilding, adapting, and responding to how you eat, move, sleep, and care for yourself.

And for women especially, the years before and during perimenopause matter more than we were probably taught.

The good news is, you do not have to overhaul your entire life to support your bones.

Small habits can make a real difference: more protein, enough calcium and vitamin D, strength training, weight-bearing movement, better sleep, and regular conversations with your healthcare provider.

Protecting your bones is really about taking care of the body that carries you through every season of life.

I’m sharing more about the simple nutrition and lifestyle habits that can help support stronger bones over on Substack.

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication, protein isn't optional—it's essential. 💪

𝐆𝐋𝐏-𝟏 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬, but they can also make it harder to eat enough overall to support wellbeing. That's why prioritizing protein at meals and snacks is so important.

Protein helps:

✔️ Preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss

✔️ Support metabolism

✔️ Keep you feeling fuller for longer

✔️ Promote steady energy levels

✔️ Support healthy aging and strength as you move through your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond

One of the biggest mistakes I see? Focusing only on eating less instead of eating strategically.

Aim to include a quality protein source every time you eat—whether that's Greek yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, fish, chicken, tofu, tempeh, edamame, or protein-rich snacks that fit your lifestyle.

Remember: the goal isn't just weight loss. It's maintaining strength, energy, and quality of life along the way.

𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝.

People are still interested in wellness, but not in a way that feels extreme, confusing, or impossible to keep up with. Most people are not looking for another strict routine to follow. They want food and drinks that make everyday life a little easier — more protein, more fiber, better ingredients, gut health support, convenience, and products that actually taste good.

That’s what I explored in my latest Forbes article: how food and wellness brands are reinventing themselves for the modern consumer.

I looked at brands like Daily Harvest, Bulletproof, and Misfits Market, and how they’ve moved beyond the early ideas that shaped their growth. Daily Harvest has expanded from smoothies into more personalized wellness options. Bulletproof has shifted from biohacking and keto culture into more everyday functional wellness. Misfits Market has grown from “ugly produce” into a curated grocery platform focused on value, quality, sustainability, and discovery.

I also spoke with Jaclyn London, MS, RD, CDN, Nutrition Consultant and author; Harry Lewis, CEO of Bulletproof; Ricky Silver, CEO of Daily Harvest; and Jessie Kimsey, Associate Director of Vendor Strategy and Category Innovation at Misfits Market, about what consumers are paying attention to now.

One thing came up again and again: people want wellness that feels useful, trustworthy, and doable.

Not 15 health claims on one label.
Not more complicated routines.
Not a product trying to solve every problem in your life.

Just food and beverages that fit into real routines, support real needs, and still deliver on taste.

Because no matter how strong the mission, trend, or functional benefit is, people are only coming back if the product works for their actual life.

Life has been very full (and, if I’m being honest, very chaotic) lately, but I’m excited about the month ahead.

Today I’m sharing a little behind-the-scenes update on Substack, including my upcoming 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐣𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟏, the next 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 on 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟓, and recent features in Forbes, Food & Wine, Prevention Magazine, Women's Health, PARADE Magazine, AOL, EatingWell, and Delish.

It’s a little bit practical, a little bit reflective, and very much real life: easy meals, useful health information, and space for the heavier things we do not always know what to do with right away.

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Until it keeps you from choosing one.

You have client stories, professional insights, lived experience, lessons learned, and patterns you’ve seen again and again. Somewhere inside all of that is a book idea with real value.

The problem is not that you have nothing to say.

The problem is that everything feels connected, and you’re not sure which direction deserves your focus.

That’s exactly what we’ll unpack in 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚, a 60-minute masterclass for health professionals who are ready to turn their expertise into a clear, focused book concept.

We’ll cover what your book is really about, why now, who it’s meant to serve, how it can stand out, and which publishing path may make the most sense for you.

You’ll also get reflection prompts and practical tools to help you start building a writing habit that actually lasts.

Not the vague version.
Not the “I have a bunch of thoughts” version.
The clear version.

The one with a purpose, a reader, a message, and a reason to exist.

That’s why I created 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚, a 60-minute masterclass for health professionals who are ready to turn their knowledge, lived experience, and client insights into a stronger book concept.

Inside the masterclass, we’ll work through five essential questions every aspiring author should answer before writing a single page.

You’ll leave with a clearer book idea, a loose outline, more confidence in your audience and angle, and tools to help you begin or restart your writing practice with purpose.

Maybe you’ve wondered:

“Will anyone actually read this?”
“Has this already been said before?”
“Am I really the right person to write it?”

Those questions do not mean your idea is weak.

They mean you’re taking the work seriously.

Writing a book is not just about having expertise. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.

In this 60-minute masterclass, I’ll help you begin shaping your book idea with more clarity and intention, whether you’re drawn to nonfiction, memoir, or something in between.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a more focused idea, a loose outline, a clearer sense of your audience, and practical next steps for moving forward.

The bread aisle has options. Lots of them. Some loaves deliver in the best way with fiber, whole grains, seeds, and sprouted grains. Others sound healthy on the front of the package, but the ingredient list tells a different story.

I was featured in Taylor Ann Spencer’s Delish article, “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞-𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬, 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬,” alongside Lauren Manaker, M.S., R.D.N., L.D. and Caoilfhionn Gilvarry, registered associate nutritionist, to share what to look for when choosing store-bought bread.

The article breaks down why sourdough and whole-grain breads can be smart choices, how fiber can help support fullness, and why seeded and sprouted-grain options may offer additional nutritional benefits.

One of the biggest takeaways: don’t rely on the front of the package alone. Look for labels like 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat, and take a quick look at the ingredient list for added sugars, refined flours, preservatives, and sodium.

Bread can absolutely have a place in a balanced, satisfying way of eating. The key is knowing what to look for.

When things slow down.
When the idea feels clearer.
When you finally have more time, more confidence, more certainty.

But “someday” has a way of becoming a very comfortable hiding place.

If you’re a health professional with a book idea sitting quietly in the background, this masterclass is designed to help you stop circling the idea and finally give it shape.
