I'm always fascinated by how certain foods get stuck with one reputation, even when there's so much more to their nutritional story.

Prunes are a perfect example. And while I'm not here to convince you that any single food is a miracle cure, I do think we sometimes overlook perfectly good options because of outdated assumptions about sugar, carbs, or what ""healthy eating"" is supposed to look like.

What I find especially interesting is how much we're still learning about foods we've been eating for generations. Prunes may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about bone health, but the research gives us another reason to appreciate what they have to offer.

In my latest Substack post, I'm digging into the science, sharing some surprisingly delicious ways to enjoy prunes, and giving these humble dried plums some well-deserved credit. ๐Ÿ’œ

For a long time, I kept looking for the missing piece. Was it genetics? Stress? Hormones? Something in my environment? Something I should have done differently?

Eventually, I realized I had enough information to make the decision in front of me. I didnโ€™t need to solve every part of the story before I could move forward.

That was a big shift for me.

In Episode 252 of Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording, I talk about choosing preventive surgery, the emotions that came with it, and what it meant to stop spending so much energy searching for every answer.

I can make thoughtful choices. I can ask questions, get the screenings, work with my doctors, and do what I can to support my body. But there will always be pieces that arenโ€™t mine to control.

That distinction has become really important to me.

It doesnโ€™t make healthy choices meaningless. If anything, it takes some of the impossible pressure off them. They can be ways we care for ourselves rather than promises that nothing difficult will ever happen.

In Episode 252 of Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording, I talk about how this showed up for me while navigating breast health issues and eventually choosing preventive surgery.

Grief doesn't always come with an explanation. It can show up in memories, unfinished conversations, ordinary moments, or emotions we struggle to put into words.

And while writing cannot take away the pain of losing someone or something meaningful, it can offer a way to acknowledge what we're feeling, remember what matters, and make room for the stories we still carry.

It means understanding your personal risk factors, knowing which screenings are recommended for you, asking questions when something doesn't feel clear, and following through when additional imaging or testing is needed.

And sometimes, it means having conversations and making decisions you never imagined you'd face.

I've learned firsthand just how personal and complicated these decisions can be. In my new Healthier & Happier podcast series, I'm opening up about my experience navigating breast cancer risk, choosing to undergo a preventive mastectomy, and processing the emotions that come with making such a deeply personal health decision.

Because even when you're making a proactive choice for your health, it doesn't mean the decision is easy.

My hope is that sharing my experience encourages you to ask questions, advocate for yourself, and feel more confident making informed decisions about your own health.

And when you've spent the entire day making decisions, answering questions, taking care of everyone else, and trying to keep up with your own responsibilities, even a simple meal can feel like a major undertaking.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how easily we compare what we're managing to what other people seem to handle effortlessly. It's funny how we can feel guilty about needing a break from something as ordinary as cooking.

But I've learned that being resourceful with your time and energy is a pretty valuable life skill. And sometimes that means letting an appliance do most of the work.

In my latest Substack post, I'm sharing two cozy, protein-rich slow cooker dinners that have earned a place in my kitchen, along with a few personal reflections on motherhood, comparison, and giving ourselves permission to make things easier.

Choosing surgery when youโ€™re not sick is a strange place to find yourself. You can be grateful to have an option and still be scared of what comes with it. You can know why youโ€™re making a decision and still have complicated feelings about needing help, disrupting your life, or wondering whether you even have the โ€œrightโ€ to be upset.

That emotional side of preventive surgery surprised me more than I expected.

In Episode 252 of Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording, Iโ€™m talking about some of those feelings and the pressure we can put on ourselves to handle difficult health decisions the โ€œrightโ€ way.

This isnโ€™t about telling anyone what choice to make. Itโ€™s about being a little more honest about what making a choice can actually feel like.

But health is rarely that simple.

What we can do is understand which habits are actually supported by evidence, make choices that feel realistic, and let go of some of the fear and guilt that can get mixed into the conversation.

Weโ€™ll talk about nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, alcohol, supplements, breast surgery recovery, and the emotional side of breast health, including body image, uncertainty, screening anxiety, and grief.

This is not about doing everything perfectly. Itโ€™s about having clearer information so you can make informed choices and care for yourself in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.

This program is for breast cancer survivors, women at elevated risk, those preparing for or recovering from breast surgery, and caregivers or support people.

Iโ€™ve been doing media work for most of my career, and Iโ€™m no stranger to things I say being taken out of context.

Itโ€™s trickier than ever to control your message because even when journalists do an amazing job of using your quotes in context, with all the automated aggregation that happens, sometimes headlines to get attention are placed alongside your name, making it sound misleading.

I recently had this happen where some news aggregate emails made it sound like I was praising low protein diets.

However, if you actually read the article, youโ€™ll see that I recommend aiming for about 30 grams per meal.

So, not low protein at all! In fact, protein is something Iโ€™ve changed my mind on since I started my career.

I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when responding to a journalist about how to make oatmeal a balanced meal by adding protein.

I shared an old blog post where Iโ€™d posted a recipe for egg white oatmeal. You can actually revisit that recipe here ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://bit.ly/Egg-Whites-In-Oatmeal-Recipe

When that post went live over 10 years ago, I remember sometimes being confused that my breakfast didnโ€™t always hold me over until lunch since it seemed to contain plenty of protein, at about 15 grams.

See, back then, I thought 15 grams per meal was enough. It wasnโ€™t until a few years ago that I really started to understand that for most adults, thatโ€™s NOT enough. So no wonder me 10 years ago was hungry!

Since shooting for closer to 30 grams per meal, Iโ€™ve noticed huge improvements in not just how long I stay satisfied but also my mood, my energy, and even my ability to build muscle. So consider this your reminder to read more than the headline.

That was a big part of my experience with preventive surgery. I had fears about the procedure, recovery, complications, and what my body would look and feel like afterward. But fear about what was ahead wasnโ€™t the same as doubting the decision itself.

Learning to separate those two feelings helped me understand where I actually stood.

In Episode 251 of Healthier & Happier with Jess Cording, I share what went into my decision to have a preventive mastectomy after years of screening, biopsies, and uncertaintyโ€”and why this ultimately felt like the right choice for me.
