I hit pause on IG for our adventures into the Black Hills, and despite arriving home— I may not be ready to come back quite yet.

Summer is starting to wrap, and like many of you, I’m finding myself wanting to hold onto it a little longer. As a working mom, August isn’t exactly a leisurely transition into fall.

The back-to-school emails have started multiplying. Forms need filling out. Appointments need scheduling. Sports practices and games are already flooding the calendar. There are supplies to buy, events to remember, work to keep doing… while somehow also trying to squeeze every last drop out of summer with your family.

It’s a lot of tabs open at once.

And lately I’ve been thinking more about where my time goes, and whether the way I spend it actually reflects what matters most to me.

So after a week largely unplugged with my family, I’m not feeling a huge pull to plug everything back in just yet.

Less scrolling. Less creating because I feel like I should. More reading, being outside, time with my family, and leaving a little white space in days that are about to become very full again.

I’m not sure whether that means another week away or most of August. Maybe I’ll pop in when I have something I genuinely want to share.

But for now, I’m giving myself permission not to have a content plan.

And if you’re also looking at an increasingly colorful family calendar wondering how you’re supposed to fit it all in, perhaps this is your reminder too:

Not everything needs to fit.

Sometimes making room for what matters means deciding what can wait. 🤍

Recently, a woman I work with shared something with me that really hit home. She gave me permission to share these words anonymously in hopes they might encourage another woman.

I don't take a complicated relationship with food, body, and mind lightly. ❤️‍🩹

Over the years, I've come to appreciate just how delicate that relationship can be.

For many women, nutrition isn't simply about what to eat.

It's years of dieting.
Shame.
Conflicting advice.
Fear.
Control.
Trust.

And slowly learning to believe their body isn't the enemy.

I often tell my clients that I'm not an eating disorder specialist. Staying within my scope matters. When someone needs that level of support, I collaborate with therapists and other professionals because that's what good care looks like.

What I can offer is evidence-based nutrition, deep curiosity, and a space where women don't have to earn compassion before they receive it.

Sometimes the most important part of my job isn't creating the perfect meal plan.

It's listening.
It's asking thoughtful questions.
It's helping someone feel safe enough to rebuild trust in themselves, one gentle step at a time.
To every woman who has trusted me with her story, thank you. 🫶

It is a privilege I never take for granted. 💛

Tomorrow I get to run my son’s very first 5K. 💙

Years ago, running felt effortless. I remember lacing up my shoes, settling into a rhythm, and almost gliding to the finish line.

These days? It feels different.

My joints remind me they’re here. My pace is slower. And somewhere along the way, trails and inclines became far more appealing than pounding pavement.

But something else changed too.

When I was younger, I ran to see what my body could do.

Tomorrow, I’ll run because I’m grateful for what my body can still do.

I’ll run beside my 13-year-old as he experiences his first race. I’ll soak in the conversations, the nervous excitement at the starting line, and the memory we’re making together.

Crossing the finish line isn’t really the goal anymore.

Sharing it is.

Here’s to moving our bodies in whatever way feels good… and appreciating that our “why” can evolve right alongside us. ❤️

A fun little surprise this week. 💛

Several months ago, my friend and fellow dietitian, Amy Brownstein, reached out to interview me for an EatingWell article about weight gain. The article was published back in May... and somehow I completely missed it until recently!

Amy, thank you for thinking of me and for inviting me to be part of such an important conversation.

One of the reasons I care so deeply about this topic is because I meet so many women who quietly wonder:

”What happened to my body?”

They haven’t suddenly lost their willpower. Their bodies are changing, and they deserve answers that go beyond “eat less and move more.”

I’m grateful every opportunity I have to help translate the science into practical, realistic strategies that help women feel stronger, more energized, and more at home in their bodies.

If you’re navigating or menopause, I hope this article reminds you that your body isn’t broken. It may simply be asking for a different kind of support.

And thank you again, Amy, for helping bring evidence-based women’s health information to so many readers. 🤍

If you’ve been diagnosed with Cyclospora, you’re probably wondering…

“What do I eat now?”

First things first: nutrition doesn’t replace medical treatment.

For most people, recovery begins with following your healthcare provider’s treatment plan, staying hydrated, and giving your body the nourishment it needs to heal.

Then comes the part I’m especially passionate about: supporting your gut as it recovers.

A few things I focus on with clients:

🌱 Prioritize a wide variety of plant foods over time. One goal I love is aiming for about 30 different plant foods each week to help nourish a diverse gut microbiome.

🥣 Include fermented foods regularly if they’re a good fit for you, such as yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, or miso.

💧 Rehydrate well, especially if you’ve experienced significant diarrhea.

🥩 Don’t forget protein. Your body is recovering from an infection, and adequate protein helps support healing.

😴 Sleep, movement (when you’re feeling up to it), and stress management all play a role in gut health, too.

One question I hear often is, “Should I take a probiotic?”

The answer isn’t the same for everyone.

There are situations where probiotic supplements may be appropriate, particularly after certain antibiotic courses or for specific digestive conditions. But for many people, I spend far more time helping them build a dietary pattern that supports a healthy microbiome for the long term than recommending a probiotic supplement.

Remember, it’s not just the antibiotic that can influence your gut. The infection itself, along with days of diarrhea, reduced appetite, inflammation, and eating less than usual, can all affect your microbiome.

The good news? Our gut is remarkably resilient.

Small choices, repeated consistently, can make a meaningful difference over time. 💚

Have you ever had to rebuild your gut after an illness or antibiotics? What questions do you still have? They may inspire my next post.
