A day in the life of a dietitian

Spoiler: It’s not all salads and meal plans!

It’s about making nutrition simple, building realistic habits, and helping you feel your best, without guilt or judgment.

Not every gluten-free meal needs specialty gluten-free products. Some of the easiest meals are built from foods that are naturally gluten-free to begin with.

Easy Sheet-Pan Lemon Chicken
Serves 4

You’ll need:
• 1 lb chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
• 3 cups green beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Juice + zest of 1 lemon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt + pepper

Roast the potatoes at 425°F for about 15 minutes. Add the seasoned chicken and green beans, then roast another 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F / 74°C.

If you use a premixed seasoning instead of individual herbs and spices, confirm that it’s gluten-free.

Save this for an easy weeknight dinner.

The scariest thing about Halloween? The nutrition advice that just won’t die.

This year, I’m ghosting food guilt, fad diets, miracle cures, and unsolicited nutrition advice.

Some things really do deserve to be left on read.

What nutrition myth are YOU ghosting this Halloween?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is about more than what's on the table. It's about good food, meaningful moments, and sharing traditions with the people we love.

For those living with celiac disease, holiday gatherings can sometimes come with a little extra planning, careful ingredient checks, and making sure there are safe gluten-free options for everyone to enjoy.

Here's to a Thanksgiving where everyone feels included, the gluten-free dishes are just as delicious, and you can focus on making memories instead of worrying about what's on your plate.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! 🤎

Not every Tuesday needs a sheet-pan masterpiece, a garnish and three perfectly balanced side dishes. Sometimes the win is simply: everyone ate.

What is your “I cannot be bothered to cook” dinner?

Perimenopause isn't just hot flashes. It can quietly touch almost every part of how you feel day to day:

• Energy that dips for no clear reason
• Appetite and cravings that feel different than they used to
• Changes in body composition, even without changes in what you're eating
• Digestion that's suddenly less predictable
• Sleep that doesn't restore you the way it used to
• Cholesterol and metabolic markers shifting at your checkups

None of this means something is wrong with you — it means your hormones are changing, and your nutrition needs are changing with them.

The goal isn't to fight this stage of life with restriction. It's to build a way of eating that actually supports it.

Which one of these has surprised you the most? Tell me below 👇

Celiac dining out is 20% choosing food and 80% asking follow-up questions.

What menu item do you miss most when the fryer is shared?

Perimenopause nutrition doesn’t need a new “superfood” every week. The basics do a lot of the heavy lifting: enough protein, calcium, fibre, plant variety and heart-healthy fats.

5 foods I recommend often:
🥣 Greek yogurt or skyr — an easy way to add protein + calcium for muscle and bone support.
🌱 Tofu or edamame — protein plus soy isoflavones in a versatile everyday option.
🫘 Beans or lentils — fibre + plant protein to support fullness and heart health.
🫐 Berries — a simple way to add fibre, polyphenols and more plant variety.
🫒 Extra-virgin olive oil — an easy unsaturated-fat swap for cooking, dressings and finishing meals.

None of these foods “balance your hormones” on their own — and you do not need a perfect diet. Think of them as practical building blocks you can mix into meals you already enjoy.

Save this for your next grocery trip, and follow for practical, evidence-based perimenopause nutrition.
