As dietitians, we understand the importance of nutrition. But as moms, we also want our kids to grow up with a healthy relationship with food, and that includes Halloween candy! 🍭🍫

Research suggests that overly restricting certain foods can actually make them more desirable to children (and adults.) When candy is treated as something forbidden or only allowed as a reward, it can become more exciting and harder for us to regulate around.

Allowing kids to enjoy sweets without guilt or shame, while maintaining some structure around meals and snacks, can help them develop a more relaxed relationship with food.

And here’s something else worth remembering: Our overall eating patterns matter far more than what we eat on one particular day. A little extra sugar on Halloween isn’t going to undo the nutritious meals your family eats throughout the year. Of course, added sugar is something we want to be mindful of, and candy doesn’t offer much nutritional value. But that doesn’t mean it can’t have a place in a healthy diet.

We want our kids to understand that food nourishes our bodies, but it can also be part of celebrations, traditions, and making memories. So this Halloween, we’ll enjoy the candy, continue offering balanced meals, and move on with our normal routine.

If sugar feels overwhelming and you’re looking for support in building a healthier relationship with food for yourself or your family, we’d love to help! At Mission Dietitian, we believe nutrition should feel balanced, realistic, and free from unnecessary guilt all while supporting your health goals.

I never imagined I would be using my knowledge as a Registered Dietitian to help my own child recover from such a significant weight loss.

After weeks of being sick, multiple hospital stays, and losing 20% of his body weight, we are finally home and focusing on helping him regain the weight and strength he’s lost.

As an RD, I know how important nutrition is for healing and recovery. But as a mom, I’ve learned just how challenging it can be to get adequate nutrition into a child who has been through so much.

Right now, we’re focusing on making every bite count! That means finding creative ways to pack more calories into foods he already loves without expecting him to eat huge portions.

I’m sharing some of the strategies I’m using in hopes that they might help another family navigating weight loss, poor appetite, or recovery after an illness.

Being on this side of things has given me a whole new perspective. I’ve spent years helping other families navigate nutrition challenges, but experiencing it with my own child has reminded me just how overwhelming the process can be.

We’re navigating his weight restoration alongside his medical team, and every child’s nutrition needs during recovery are different.

We’re so excited to officially welcome Katie Ghossein, MS, RD, LD to the Mission Dietitian team!

Katie is now accepting new patients and is passionate about helping individuals and families build sustainable, healthy habits that fit real life.

With a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Alabama and both her Dietetic Internship and Master’s degree in Nutrition Sciences from UAB, Katie brings years of experience in outpatient nutrition counseling. After taking a little time away to raise her family, she’s excited to return to one-on-one counseling while continuing to share her love of cooking and nutrition through community cooking classes.

Katie believes lasting health doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from simple, practical changes that add up over time. Her approach focuses on the whole person.
She is passionate about empowering clients with the knowledge and confidence to make choices that support lifelong health and wellness.

When she’s not seeing patients Katie loves to soak up the sun with her family, garden, and bake homemade goodies.

If you’ve been looking for personalized nutrition guidance, now is the perfect time to schedule with Katie!

Round 2 of our summer sheet pan series!

Swipe for some fresh, low-clean up ideas to feed your family or meal prep for yourself this weekend 🍑🍅🌽

Some recipe instructions and tips👇🏻

•If using chicken breasts in your recipe, cook for 20-25 minutes on 400F, or until it reaches an internal temp of 165F
•For boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cook on 400F for 30-35 minutes. Bone-in, skin-on will take 40-45 minutes.
•For all recipes: pat your chicken dry, chop veggies, toss in olive oil and dry seasonings. Cover your chicken in marinade/sauce and bake! Top with additional sauce, fresh toppings, etc. once finished. Enjoy!

Did you know Registered Dietitians do more than weight loss education?

RDs help people:

•Manage diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and digestive disorders
•Navigate food allergies and intolerances
•Support fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric nutrition
•Improve sports performance and recovery
•Heal their relationship with food
•Address disordered eating and support recovery from eating disorders, including binge eating disorder
•Optimize nutrition during cancer treatment and other medical conditions
•Prevent disease before it starts
•Build sustainable habits that fit real life

Nutrition is about so much more than the number on the scale. It’s about helping people feel their best, fuel their bodies, improve their health, and find peace with food.

Registered Dietitians are the food and nutrition experts you can trust.

We’d love to help you on your health journey by utilizing your insurance benefits. Reach out today if you want us to check your coverage!

As dietitians, we have concerns over the carnivore diet, it’s not because we “hate meat.”
Protein is important. Iron is important. B12 is important. Meat can absolutely be part of a healthy diet.

What concerns us is eliminating entire food groups and calling it the answer for everyone.

Here’s why:

• Fiber matters for gut health, cholesterol, blood sugar, and fullness
• Fruits + vegetables provide vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients linked to long-term health
• Many people feel better initially simply because they cut out ultra processed foods, not necessarily because plants were the issue
• Longterm research on all-meat diets is still very limited and not looking promising
• Extreme restriction can create fear around food and become difficult to sustain

Nutrition science consistently supports variety, balance, and flexibility, not extremes.

You do not need to fear blueberries to be healthy.
We’d love to utilize your insurance benefits to work with you on how to work a variety of foods into your diet to help you reach your health goals!
