🍂 DON'T LET THE EARLY SUNSET STOP YOU! 🌅

Does it feel harder to exercise now that it's getting dark so early?

You're not alone! Shorter days and busy schedules can make it tempting to skip physical activity altogether. But staying active doesn't have to mean walking outside after dark or spending an hour at the gym.

💡 Try these simple ways to keep moving:

🚶 Take a 10–15-minute walk during your lunch break.

🏠 Try an indoor walking video or workout at home.

📺 Walk in place while watching your favorite TV show.

💪 Add a few minutes of strength training with resistance bands or light weights.

👯 Find a friend or family member to keep you accountable.

⏰ Break activity into smaller chunks throughout the day.

Remember: You don't have to do it all. You just have to start somewhere!

Your health goals don't have to hibernate just because the sun sets earlier. 🌟

💚 Your challenge this week: Find ONE way to move your body that works with your schedule!

The internet and influencers have a lot to say about seed oils... 🌻

But do those claims match what nutrition research actually shows?

One common myth is that all fats affect your health the same way.

Research shows that the type of fat matters. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, including those found in seed oils, has been associated with better heart health,

Another myth is that omega-6 fats should be avoided. In reality, linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 fat that your body needs and must get from food.

This Classic Slow Cooker Beef Stew is the kind of recipe you set and forget.

Add everything to the slow cooker and let it simmer away. You end up with tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a rich, savory broth. 🤎

🥩 Beef provides protein and becomes tender with low-and-slow cooking.

🥕 Carrots, celery, onion, and garlic add texture and build that classic stew flavor.

🥔 Potatoes make each bowl hearty and satisfying while providing nutrients like potassium.

🌿 Rosemary and bay leaves add plenty of flavor as everything cooks together.

Slow cooker meals are a great option for busy days, slow Sundays, or meal prep and batch cooking.

Want to make it on the next chilly day?

Ingredients
2 lb beef stew meat, cubed and patted dry
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 celery chopped, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 Tbs rosemary fresh, chopped
1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped (plus more for garnish)
2 Tbs avocado oil divided
2 potatoes, chopped into even pieces (e.g., russet or Yukon Gold)
5 cup beef broth low sodium (reduce by ½ to 1 cup for a thicker stew)
2 bay leaves

Directions
Prep
1. Cube and pat dry the beef to ensure better browning.

2. Chop carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Mince garlic.

3. Chop rosemary and parsley.

Make
1. Set the slow cooker to the "Sauté" setting, if available. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the slow cooker.

2. In batches, brown the beef on all sides, avoiding overcrowding. Once browned, remove and set aside.

3. Add the remaining avocado oil to the slow cooker. Sauté the onion, garlic, rosemary, carrots, and celery until fragrant, seasoning lightly with salt. If you don't have a sauté setting, this can be done in a pan on the stovetop.

4. Add the potatoes to the slow cooker, stirring to coat with the aromatics.

5. Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices to the slow cooker. Add the beef broth and bay leaves.

6. Set the slow cooker to high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours, until the beef is tender.

7. Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. For a thicker stew, purée a portion of the vegetables with some broth and return it to the pot.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

9. Serve the stew topped with fresh parsley.

🎀 Christie RD Supports Breast Cancer Awareness 💗

At Christie RD, we believe that awareness, early detection, and nutrition support all play an important role in caring for ourselves and supporting those affected by breast cancer.

💕 Early detection saves lives. Regular screenings and knowing what is normal for your body can make a difference.

🥗 Nutrition matters, too. Good nutrition can help support strength, energy, healing, and overall well-being during and after cancer treatment. Every person's needs are different, and individualized nutrition support can help navigate challenges such as changes in appetite, taste, digestion, and maintaining adequate nourishment.

At Christie RD, we want individuals facing breast cancer to know that they don't have to navigate their nutrition journey alone. We are here to offer guidance, encouragement, and support through every stage.

💗 To every survivor, every fighter, every caregiver, and every family affected by breast cancer—we stand with you.

🎀 Raise awareness. Encourage early detection. Nourish your body. Support one another.

Nobody fights alone.

🌱 Reminder for Your Journey:
Never measure your progress with someone else’s ruler. ✋📏

Your body, your habits, your goals — they’re all uniquely yours. Just because someone else is further along doesn’t mean you’re behind. Progress isn’t always visible on the outside. It’s in the choices you make, the mindset you build, and the consistency you commit to.

👏 Celebrate YOUR wins, no matter how small.
🧠 Stay focused on YOUR path.
💪 Trust the process — your process.

You’re not in a race. You’re building a lifestyle.
