*warning* Aetna peeps, your policy has changed. You now have copays that you didn't have before. It's an across the board issue if you work with a dietitian. Be aware. Also be aware of their lawsuit.

Everything is so expensive!!! Yup. Health insurance, labs, supplements, food.
I always consider finacial security in my counseling. I let you know what's available and how to work with your P*P and specialist. Insurance blocks a lot of things because it's about controlling cost so you're limited. Just remember that you do have freedom to explore outside of insurance.

Are you struggling and not getting answers? I have access to so many labs. I do not make any money recommending labs. Zero zilch nada. I help you get access to things you may have never known existed. Data collecting is so helpful for practitioners. It cuts down on symptom only related guessing. You hate guessing, so do we.

Talk to me about all the things you're seeing for labs and if they are legit. There are different measures that may or may not be relevant to you. Know what you're purchasing and why!!! Is it DNA, peptide, whole blood, hair, urine, all of the above? How do you interpret and work into your life?

For my neurodivergent peeps: learning your "safe" foods is a great way to build foundations in nutrition. You might find a tendency to stick to a short list of protein rich foods, specific fruits or vegetables, textures of certain grains or starches, and fats. Can you build around them? Yes! For example, small changes and willingness to trade out a fruit or vegetable for another can actually lead to a more robust variety. It doesn't even have to be daily! I can be weekly! You might be able to focus on components of food, such as, what's a fat, protein, and high fiber food that can complete my needs without getting overly complicated?

When you're cooking for a family, you might be thinking protein, veggies, starch/grain. So you do less grain, kick up the veg, and add a delight. Chicken, mushrooms, onion, broccoli over 1 cup rice. (See vegetarian Alfredo sauce in comments)

Mushrooms are awesome in any meat dish. They take on a texture of "meat" while providing tons of immune supportive nutrients. Broccoli or any cruciferous veggie adds liver support along with vital micronutrients. Load your boring meal with immune enhancing ingredients!

Some of you have witnessed my dear Dad bringing me ridiculous amounts of apples. This tree is why. It's a couple decades old and just won't stop producing!! Haha. I mean it's pretty awesome that we can get nutrition for free if we respect and appreciate it. We live very fast lives and shop according to sales vs nutrient density. We forget how to attach to the "fruits" of our labor. This is just a reminder that there is abundance happening in times where you feel stuck and overwhelmed. To be an apple tree just using all the love of sun and the dirt gives us is pretty amazing outcomes. So simple yet look at what all the simplest things can produce!!! A tiny seed with the right environment can do wonders.

We can hold an idea about food, relationships and culture quite tightly until one day you are faced with individual situations that no longer support a rigid idea about how our environment effects us. From developing GI issues, to food intolerances we never had before, to how our own friends and family respond to our own personal changes.

We talk about how important it is to recognize individual nutrition but rarely talk about how it impacts our social life. Food and health trauma may start with not knowing, a bunch of confusion and people that used to support us losing any idea of how to support us currently. It's why we call any individual health situation a journey.

I'm here so you don't feel like you're without hope of doing it alone. 😊🥰 No one likes having to go through changes alone or with shame or judgment. I appreciate being able to provide services that supports your journey and I have the utmost respect for you placing value on my expertise, especially when trust is a vulnerable experience.

Marketing 101: Dave Asprey now recommends breakfast instead of fasting on his bullet proof coffee till noon. Carnivore guru now eats fruit, honey and vegetables. Waiting on Grundry to talk about legumes having benefits..

At the end of the day, someone will hook you. They will cherry pick science and make profit on a certain protocol. Good for them. They knew how to market and capture to sell a lot of ads and engage you.

Is it food "noise" or chronic bouts of deprivation through low intake, skipping meals, or low quality food? Or is it a very cultural influenced "noise" because we've lost how to just relax and chill? Are we listening to too much noise because of social media?

“Food noise” has become one of the biggest phrases of the GLP 1 era...
