🌎 Happy World Mindfulness Day! Last night I ce 🌎 Happy World Mindfulness Day! Last night I celebrated with colleagues at a beautiful yoga class on the beach hosted by @wonderfulpistachios 💚 #sponsoredevent. It was the perfect reminder that mindfulness isn’t just about meditation—it can show up in so many parts of our daily lives. Here are 5 simple ways I practice mindfulness: 1️⃣ Movement — Yoga or even a short walk helps me connect my body and mind. 2️⃣ Breath — Taking a few slow, deep breaths can reset my nervous system in minutes. 3️⃣ Snacking with intention — In-shell pistachios naturally encourage mindful eating: cracking shells slows snacking, shells provide a visual reminder of portions, and the pause gives your body time to register fullness. 4️⃣ Screen breaks — Stepping away from my phone or computer creates space to be present. 5️⃣ Gratitude — Ending the day by reflecting on one thing I’m grateful for shifts my perspective. ✨ Which of these mindfulness practices do you want to try today? xx, Patricia 💛 #worldmindfulnessday #wellnessintelligence #mindfulsnacking #womenswellness #sponsoredevent
Craving comfort food after a long day? Pasta can a Craving comfort food after a long day? Pasta can actually work with your wellness goals. 💛⁠ ⁠ In a recent @foodnetwork article by @danawhitenutrition, I shared one of my pantry go-tos: Brami Italian Protein Pasta. Made with only two ingredients (Italian wheat + lupini beans), it offers more protein + fiber than traditional pasta — making it both satisfying and nourishing. 🍝✨⁠ ⁠ Other RD-approved pastas worth a spot in your cart:⁠ 🍝 Barilla Protein+ – extra protein + fiber⁠ 🍝 DeLallo Whole Wheat – smooth texture, whole grain perks⁠ 🍝 Banza Chickpea Pasta – filling + naturally high in protein⁠ ⁠ ✨ Full article link in bio.⁠ ⁠ xx Patricia⁠ ⁠ #wellnessintelligence #womenswellness #pastalover

High-achieving women, listen up: carbs aren’t th High-achieving women, listen up: carbs aren’t the enemy. 🙌⁠ ⁠ If you’ve been avoiding fruit because of the carbs… it’s time to rethink that. 🍎⁠ ⁠ In my recent @TODAYshow interview, I shared why whole fruits (even the carb-rich ones) can be a smart, delicious way to keep your energy steady, your focus sharp, and your health on track.⁠ ⁠ Here are 9 naturally higher-carb fruits worth keeping in your rotation (and why):⁠ ⁠ 🌴 Dates – fiber + minerals⁠ 🍌 Banana – pre-workout fuel⁠ 🍐 Pear – fiber + vitamin C⁠ 🍇 Grapes – antioxidants⁠ 🥭 Mango – vitamins A + C⁠ 🍎 Apple – heart + gut health⁠ 🍒 Cherries – reduce inflammation⁠ 🫐 Blueberries – brain health⁠ 🍈 Figs – gut health⁠ ⁠ 💡 Pair fruit with healthy fats or protein (like apple slices with almond butter or berries with Greek yogurt) to keep your energy steady and avoid blood sugar spikes.⁠ ⁠ ✨ Full article link in bio.⁠ ⁠ xx Patricia ⁠ ⁠ #wellnessintelligence #womenswellness #womenshealth
