As a mom and dietitian I take and recommend supplements myself but it's not the first resort and with the thousands and thousands of supplements out there it can be overwhelming on which ones to take.

Let me know some supplements who must have in your pantry in the comments.

5 ways to eat at least 25 grams of fiber a day as a busy mom (Part 2) 👇🏾

1️⃣ Eat your carbs—fiber lives in fruits, veggies, beans, and whole grains.
2️⃣ Choose wholesome snacks that actually keep you full.
3️⃣ Learn which foods contain fiber (you may be surprised!).
4️⃣ Plan your meals so fiber is built in, not an afterthought.
5️⃣ Work with a dietitian 😉 Sometimes you need a personalized plan, not more nutrition information.

Fiber supports gut health, balanced blood sugar, heart health, and helps keep you satisfied longer.

Ever since I have my second child I noticed I stand up more when eating. Is this just me or have other parents experienced this?

It has become a habit because typically someone always needs something when I sit down to eat , water, napping, tissue, fork, diaper changed, more chicken...standing up just prepared me for the next ask 😂😩 It's a habit km working on for sure. Can any other parents relate?

I'll report back in 2 weeks.

You may be fearful of what to eat with the Cyclospora outbreak

Here's what we can do and what it is known :

1) Wash hands before and after handling food
2) Cook your veggies and opt for frozen and canned produce if you can
3) Washing or freezing produce isn't enough to kill the parasite 🦠
4) It can take up to 2 weeks for symptoms so arise
5) take higher caution with vulnerable populations and those with a weaker immune system

Slide 4 says it well. You don't have to give up all produce. You have to do what you feel comfortable eating when it comes to produce and know there's a risk.

What made me feel comfortable eating the salad was that I prepare it myself, I rinsed it under warm water (not 158 degree warm but it did give me a bit of peace of mind), and I'm not considered in vulnerable population category.

How are you managing your fruit and veggie intake with the outbreak?

Don’t do that ishhhh. 😒😂

The quickest way to drain your confidence isn’t the slice of cake, the vacation meal, or the missed workout.

It’s the way you talk to yourself afterward.

So many women come into nutrition our sessions carrying guilt, shame, and frustration around food. They think they need more willpower when what they really need is support, strategy, and a little self-compassion.

Inside our sessions, we work on:

✨ Replacing negative self-talk with more helpful thoughts

✨ Focusing on what’s working instead of obsessing over what went wrong

✨ Creating realistic habits that fit your actual life

✨ Building confidence around food without restriction, guilt, or starting over every Monday

✨ Making space for honest conversations about food, cravings, emotions, and challenges

You don’t need another diet.

You need someone who can help you make sense of the confusion, keep you accountable, and guide you toward sustainable change without judgment.

If you’re ready to stop feeling guilty around food and start feeling confident in your choices, send me a DM with the word WORK and let’s talk about your goals.
