There’s something new in gut health 👀 #ad So fun There’s something new in gut health 👀 #ad

So fun being in NYC with @ollywellness for the launch of their new Precise Probiotics, now available @walmart and OLLY.com — a more targeted approach to gut health with formulas for stress, skin, and metabolism* (yes please 🙌)

If you’ve ever had a “gut feeling”… you already know your gut is doing more than digestion. 

As a dietitian, I’ve always said your gut is deeply connected to how you feel day to day — including your stress response. This launch really reflects where the science is going.

Also excited to share I’ve officially joined OLLY’s Advisory Coalition (!!) to help bring more real-life, science-backed wellness to you all 💛

More to come… but for now, come hang in the Calm Pantry with me ☕️ #OLLYPartner

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.👇

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.

☕🍵 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. 💚

Grateful for all the incredible dietitians making a difference every day.

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 💛
