Don’t fall for these “healthy” swaps like I did


Hi Reader👋

I’ve been a registered dietitian for almost 10 years now...but before that? I fell for a LOT of convincing “nutrition facts” online.

And if I’m being truly honest, sometimes I still do. That’s one of the reasons I love making YouTube videos. They give me an excuse to dive into the research and really figure out what’s true (and what’s just trendy nonsense).

This week’s video is all about the surprising nutrition “facts” I once believed... and that you might still believe too.

Here’s a little teaser:
👉 One swap I made in college left me hungrier and more tired, even though I thought I was being healthier.
👉 I once spent silly amounts of money in an effort to have longer healthier hair... all I got was expensive urine!

And after you watch, I’d love to know which of these “facts” have you believed too? Just hit reply and let me know.

In other news.. I'm working in ICU this week. This surprises soooo many people...but have you ever wondered how people sedated in comas get nutrition 🤣 The role of a dietitian is much more complex than you may think 😉

Talk soon,

Hi Reader It's starting to get chilly, even here in Bermuda...🌴 And I'll be honest with you... Shorter evenings and the holidays creeping closer make it a tad bit harder to stay on track with your health goals this time of year. And it's not just me. The research shows most people gain 1-3 pounds during the fall and holiday season, and most never lose it. Over five years, that's 15 pounds. But here's the good news... The solution might surprise you: less really is more when it comes to...

What the new Consumer Reports investigation actually means.. Hi Reader👋 I wanted to share something important that came up this week, especially for anyone who uses protein powders regularly. Consumer Reports recently tested 23 popular protein powders and shakes and found that several contained measurable levels of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and arsenic. The issue was most common in plant-based powders, particularly those made with pea protein. The headlines sounded alarming, but after...

Hi Reader👋 If you watch me on YouTube you know by now my goal is always to make health accessible, not expensive. Hence the sheer amount of free education I give away. So before we go any further, I want to be clear: you do not need to throw out everything in your kitchen. You don’t need to replace it all at once, and you definitely don’t need a full kitchen makeover to make a difference. However, with the Amazon Prime Day sale happening, I do think it’s a good time to share some of my...
