💙Disability Pride Month is just ONE month out of the year. My hope is that this month inspires conversations that continue long after July ends.💙

🫶🏼True inclusion is about creating environments where people with disabilities are seen, valued, included, and given the same opportunities to learn, work, play, and thrive.

We all have a role to play in making that a reality!

💙Stepping into a new calling that feels exciting (and scary). We sat down with Amber on BLOOM TV to discuss Disability Pride Month, which is a reminder that every person deserves to be included, treated with dignity, and given the opportunity to fully participate in their community.

By challenging stereotypes and embracing inclusion, we create a world where everyone has the chance to thrive. 🙏🏼🫶🏼 This segment airs Thursday!

I’m grateful to use my voice to advocate—not only as a healthcare professional, but as a mom whose perspective has been forever changed. 💙

🥕👩🏻‍🌾 A dietitian’s dream came to life last night & that’s not an exaggeration!

Farm-to-table in its purest form. Strangers became friends as we set the table together, served one another, and made space for our neighbors here in St. Pete.

We looked different. We came from different backgrounds. We had different stories. But we all had a seat at the same table.

It was a beautiful reminder that food has a way of bringing people together and building community.

The Healthy Roots team left feeling inspired, energized, and even more excited for what’s ahead in South St. Pete!

I find it fascinating that the largest land mammals on our planet (elephants, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, gorillas) maintain huge muscle mass and meet their protein requirements from consuming plants - yt us humans seem to be so concerned with "where to get your protein" on a plant-based diet 🤷🏽‍♀️🤭✅

By Dr. Frank Sabatino When European chemists in the 19th century first used the Greek word proteios, meaning “of the first importance”, to label protein, this nutrient became the primary nutritional obsession and concern. Unfortunately we have all been sold the dangerous, unscientific lie that h...

‘What protein powder do you recommend?’ might be the question I get asked most as a Dietitian 😅

And truthfully… I get the hype.

I’m currently obsessed with adding the vanilla protein powder with creatine to my morning oat & my kids have no idea I’m sneaking lemon ice protein powder into their smoothies 🤍🍋

🥣 My current obsession:
1/4 cup old fashioned oats (for the gut health!)
1/2 scoop vanilla vanilla protein with creatine
1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
A sprinkle of walnuts
Blueberries and strawberries

🌴Saturday morning thoughts: If you feel like you've tried everything at this point to make your body weight change and nothing budges...

It's important to know that our bodies protect the weight they have already acquired -

If you have gained weight through yo-yo dieting, from a medication / illness / injury / experience of trauma, etc - it is likely your body's set point will raise AND your body will now protect that new set point range fiercely. It's a way that our body protects us from famine, emergency and promotes survival.

This may be exactly the reason you have tried your hardest to restrict and, over the years, it's just become futile. You can't stick to it, OR even if you DO stick to the restriction, your weight just won't budge.

What to do?!

Meet with a nutrition professional to work WITH physiology, not against it:

1.) Prioritize adequate, consistent fueling (especially protein + fiber for satiety signaling)

2.) Reduce extremes (chronic under-eating, aggressive dieting)

3.) Support metabolic health (sleep, resistance training, stress regulation)

4.)Focus on body composition and metabolic markers, not just scale weight
