Burnout isn’t a character flaw — it’s a signal. I Burnout isn’t a character flaw — it’s a signal. It can affect your mood, focus, sleep, energy, decision-making, and even your relationships. That’s what @minddietmeals and I will be exploring at the @todaysdietitian Spring Symposium in Orlando. 🌴✨ In our session, Burnout and the Brain: Nutrition and Lifestyle Tools for Resilience, we’ll share practical nutrition and lifestyle tools to support resilience — including our 3-S framework: Self-Align. Signals. Systems. Because building resilience isn’t about doing everything perfectly — it’s about learning to recognize what your mind and body need, and creating realistic tools that help. Let me know if you’ll be there — we’d love to see you! And if not, drop your brain health or burnout questions below.👇 Sunday, May 17 3:20 pm – 4:50 pm xx Patricia 💛 #burnout #brainhealth #wellnessintelligence womenshealth

Three dietitian-founded brands to know this Women’ Three dietitian-founded brands to know this Women’s History Month and National Nutrition Month® 👏 This March, I wanted to spotlight three inspiring women who are building thoughtful, purpose-driven nutrition businesses and bringing their expertise to life in exciting ways. ✨ Mitzi Dulan, RD, CSSD — simplyFUEL® How a World Series win helped launch a protein snack for the whole family ✨ Michelle Dudash, RDN — Spicekick Rethinking the weeknight seasoning packet, one clean ingredient at a time ✨ Morgan Murdock, RDN — Unbothered Foods A digestive health dietitian who spotted a gap — and filled it with sourdough crackers I love seeing fellow dietitians turn their nutrition expertise into innovative brands that help make healthy eating more practical, accessible, and enjoyable. Read the full post at the link in bio to learn more about the women behind these brands, what inspired them to get started, and the advice they shared for other entrepreneurs. And I know there are many other incredible RD founders out there. Tag them below so we can celebrate even more women doing amazing work in this space. @nutritionexpert @michelledudash @mojomurdoch @unbotheredfoods @spicekick.foods #spicekick
☕🍵 Tea or coffee — which is actually healthier? S ☕🍵 Tea or coffee — which is actually healthier? Spoiler: you don’t have to choose one over the other. As I shared in this new @TODAYshow article, both beverages contain beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols that have been linked with support for heart health, brain function, and metabolic health. The real difference often comes down to how you drink them — and how each one supports your energy, focus, and sense of calm. A few key takeaways:
 ✨ Tea may support heart health and healthy blood vessel function.
✨ Coffee is one of the largest sources of antioxidants in the American diet.
✨ For those sensitive to caffeine, too much can lead to jitters, anxiety, or sleep disruption — so listening to your body matters. My take as a dietitian? The healthiest cup is the one you enjoy and don’t overload with sugar. ☕🍵 Swipe to see what the research says — and drop a comment: are you team coffee or team tea?

Another trip around the sun, and feeling very grat Another trip around the sun, and feeling very grateful. ☀️🍀 This birthday week was full of so many lovely moments — dinner at @owavenice with my mom friends @lesliestele @juliet_jones @elsitasanay, lunch at @greatwhite with my dietitian besties @jackienewgent @cyn_sass, a special birthday date night at @republiquerestaurantla with my hubs (made even sweeter by their handwritten birthday note), and a beautiful evening at @candlelight.concerts 🕯️ Enjoyed a St. Patty’s Day festival with the kids at @clubjoyful — and got to celebrate my amazing stepson @nick.rr turning 23. 🎂 I also gave myself a gift this year: a Pilates package at @thestudiomdr. These days, I’m most thankful for anything that helps me feel strong, healthy, and well. ✨ Feeling thankful for this life, for the people I love, and for this community here. Thanks for being here. 💚 xx Patricia

Becoming an RDN in the U.S. requires: ✨ a graduate (master’s) degree ✨ completion of an accredited nutrition program ✨ at least 1,000 hours of supervised practice ✨ passing a national credentialing exam ✨ continuing education throughout their careers to stay current with the latest nutrition science Grateful for all the incredible dietitians making a difference every day. xx, Patricia
Heart health doesn’t have to feel complicated. As Heart health doesn’t have to feel complicated. As a Registered Dietitian who helps women reduce stress and overwhelm, I recently shared five research-backed foods on KTLA that can support your heart — without restriction or extreme changes. Because real heart health isn’t built in a cleanse. It’s built through: • consistent fiber • healthy fats + protein • anti-inflammatory plant foods • small habits you can repeat The goal isn’t perfection. It’s simple upgrades you can sustain on a busy week. Full segment link in bio. If you’re looking for practical, science-based nutrition that fits real life — follow along 💛 xx, Patricia
Heart health isn’t only about cholesterol numbers. Heart health isn’t only about cholesterol numbers. It’s also about lowering inflammation, managing stress, and building habits you can actually sustain. I shared 5 heart-supportive foods on KTLA 5 Morning News — here’s the quick recap: 1️⃣ Soy foods – Plant protein + isoflavones that may support healthy cholesterol. 2️⃣ Avocados – Unsaturated fats + fiber for heart support. 3️⃣ Pulses (lentils, beans, chickpeas, split peas) – ½ cup most days = a meaningful fiber boost. 4️⃣ Canned Beans – Budget-friendly, pantry staples that deliver steady, soluble fiber. 5️⃣ Tart cherries – Rich in anthocyanins studied for heart health and inflammation. The common thread? Simple. Additive. Repeatable. That’s how long-term heart health is built — not through extremes, but through small upgrades that fit your real life. If you had to start with one this week, which would it be? xx, Patricia 💛
