I’m excited to share something a few women I coach I’m excited to share something a few women I coach have been asking for: the Wellness Intelligence™ Circle. ✨ A small monthly group for professional women who are doing a lot and want a little more space to reset, connect, and feel supported. ✨ As a registered dietitian, board-certified health & wellness coach, and someone who has experienced burnout myself, I care deeply about helping women feel good without adding more “should dos” to already full lives. The Circle blends evidence-based nutrition and wellness with practical, real-life tools, meaningful connection, and guest experts on the topics the group wants most. We’re starting this October, and a few spots are still open. Learn more at the link in my bio, and let’s chat to see if it feels like a fit. xx, Patricia 💛
If you’re stressed, tired, and reaching for anothe If you’re stressed, tired, and reaching for another cup of coffee by mid-afternoon, I get it. ☕️ As a dietitian, I recently shared 7 foods with @real_simple that can help support steadier, more sustained energy. Fatigue is not always about needing more caffeine. Blood sugar dips, dehydration, low iron or B vitamins, poor sleep, and stress can all play a role. A few dietitian-recommended foods to add to your rotation: 🌾 Oats: slow-digesting carbs + soluble fiber for steadier energy, plus iron and magnesium to support oxygen delivery 🐟 Salmon: protein + omega-3s + B12 support energy metabolism, and may help fight fatigue by reducing inflammation 🥣 Greek yogurt: high-quality protein to help stabilize blood sugar, plus B vitamins and probiotics for gut health 🫘 Beans: fiber + plant protein digest slowly for sustained energy, plus magnesium and B vitamins The other 3 are in the full @real_simple feature 👇 The bigger Wellness Intelligence takeaway: no single food fixes fatigue on its own. Steadier energy comes from the whole pattern, including consistent meals, hydration, sleep, stress management, and habits that actually fit into your life. Get all 7 dietitian-recommended foods in my @real_simple feature. Link in bio. Save this for the next time your energy dips. ✨ Which one is already a regular in your kitchen? xx, Patricia 💛
Burnout changes your brain, but what does that act Burnout changes your brain, but what does that actually mean, and how is it different from everyday stress? In this podcast, we break down what burnout is and why it can affect memory, focus, mood, and decision-making. I joined @melissajoyrd and @minddietmeals on the Sound Bites® Podcast to talk about the brain science of burnout, nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support resilience, and practical ways to move toward recovery without adding more “shoulds” to an already full plate. 🎧 Full episode and related resources at the link in my bio.
Somewhere along the way, giant water bottles becam Somewhere along the way, giant water bottles became the new fashion accessory. Mine included. 🙋‍♀️ #ad I’ve partnered with Ultima Replenisher @goultima to share simple, evidence-based hydration tips. There is so much talk about water, hydration, electrolytes, minerals, and what we “should” be drinking. And yet a lot of us are still confused about what actually helps. Here’s what I want you to know: hydration doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with water. And for many of us, adding the right everyday electrolyte support can be a helpful part of the routine. Swipe through for 5 things worth knowing, straight from your stress-less dietitian. I break it down more in the full guide, including when water is enough, when electrolytes can help, and how everyday blends compare to sports drinks and ORS. Full guide in bio. Save this post so you have it for your next busy day. xx, Patricia 💛
Busy women don’t need more wellness noise or pseud Busy women don’t need more wellness noise or pseudoscience. They need clear guidance that makes healthy choices easier.⁠ ⁠ That’s why I’m so excited to be writing for Health.com, which reaches more than 120 million people annually. ✨⁠ ⁠ My first two articles focus on product categories that can feel surprisingly confusing: protein shakes and collagen supplements.⁠ ⁠ For each piece, the Health team combined product research and testing with expert insights from registered dietitians to evaluate factors such as nutrition, ingredient quality, taste, transparency, formulation, and overall value.⁠ ⁠ It’s closely aligned with the idea behind Wellness Intelligence: helping women cut through the noise and make practical, evidence-informed choices that fit into real life.⁠ ⁠ The 9 Best Protein Shakes of 2026, Tested & Recommended by RDs⁠ ⁠ The 12 Best Collagen Supplements of 2026, Tested and Reviewed⁠ ⁠ Thank you to these expert RDs for lending their expertise: @tobyamidor @minddietmeals @shawsimpleswaps @franceslrothrd @onceuponapumpkin ⁠ ⁠ I’m excited to keep bringing clear, useful nutrition guidance to Health readers.⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in my bio to see my Health.com profile, read both articles, and see what’s coming next.⁠ ⁠ Do you have a favorite collagen supplement or protein shake? I’d love to hear what you’re using.
Stress-less nutrition, summer entertaining edition Stress-less nutrition, summer entertaining edition. ☀️ Loved being back on @ktla5news with @laurenlyster sharing fiber-full summer entertaining ideas, because while “fiber-maxxing” may be trending, you don’t have to go to extremes. Fiber feeds your gut, helps regulate blood sugar, supports heart health, and helps you feel fuller longer, yet fewer than 10% of adults actually get enough. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s small, realistic add-ins that make meals more satisfying, nourishing, and fun. A few ideas from the segment: ✨ Add canned beans, lentils, or chickpeas to salads, toasts, and dips, about 6 to 8g fiber per ½ cup ✨ Blend berries into smoothies or serve as a colorful dessert, like my triple berry smoothie with 10g fiber ✨ Use nuts and seeds for crunch in salads, snack boards, or sweet bites ✨ Try whole grains like farro for more staying power ✨ Make oat-based bites for a fiber-full snack or breakfast cookie One gentle reminder: increase fiber gradually and drink plenty of water. Your gut will thank you. 😊 Link to full segment in bio! xx, Patricia 💛
For women who want something pretty in their glass For women who want something pretty in their glass and added nutrition benefits. 🥂🍊 I partnered with @FloridaOrangeJuice #sponsored to create this Splash of Sunshine Citrus Fizz Mocktail — and honestly, it might be my favorite sip of the summer. Made with Florida Orange Juice, Florida Grapefruit Juice, fresh ginger, sparkling water, and cucumber ribbons for the prettiest garnish, it comes together in just 10 minutes. 100% orange juice is nearly 90% water and has naturally occurring electrolytes like potassium and magnesium to help support hydration. ✔️ Diabetes-friendly
✔️ Immune-supporting
✔️ Heart-healthy Full recipe at the link in bio — and trust me, make two. 😉 xx, Patricia 💛
Never stop learning. 📚 I’m so excited to share th Never stop learning. 📚 I’m so excited to share that I’m now a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)! 🎉 As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) with a master’s in nutrition communication, I’ve spent 20+ years helping people make sense of nutrition, wellness, and health in a practical way. But through my Wellness Intelligence coaching and workshops — especially working with executive women and high-achieving professionals — I kept coming back to the same truth: Information is important, but behavior change is where the real transformation happens. So I decided to go deeper. Over the past year, that meant getting up uncomfortably early for online classes before my workday began, completing 50+ hours of coaching, studying for a board exam, and learning more about client-led coaching, mindset, and habit-building support that helps people create lasting, meaningful change. This credential isn’t about adding more letters after my name. It’s about deepening the work I already love: helping women build realistic wellness systems that support energy, resilience, and well-being in real life. And like all meaningful credentials, this one comes with continuing education — which I genuinely love. Because in this work, and in life, the learning never stops. 🙌 What’s one thing you’re currently learning? xx, Patricia 💛
Oatmeal or avocado toast for cholesterol?⁠ ⁠ My an Oatmeal or avocado toast for cholesterol?⁠ ⁠ My answer: yes. 😉⁠ ⁠ As a dietitian, I love when nutrition advice doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Oatmeal brings beta-glucan fiber, which can help support healthy cholesterol levels, while avocado toast offers heart-healthy unsaturated fats, fiber, and plant sterols — especially when it replaces butter or other higher-saturated-fat spreads.⁠ ⁠ The real takeaway? It doesn’t have to be either/or. Both can fit into a heart-healthy breakfast pattern, and the best choice is one you enjoy and can build with fiber, protein, and nourishing fats.⁠ ⁠ Delighted to be quoted in @eatingwell by @shawsimpleswaps.⁠ ⁠ Link to the full article in bio.⁠ ⁠ #womenshealth #wellnessintelligence
