EAT WELL
I strongly believe there is no ONE nutrition plan that works for everyone. There is so much confusion surrounding what we should be eating. When you’re feeling unsure if you should eat something or not, the question you need to ask yourself is:
“Is what I am eating a nutrient-dense, whole food?”
We will take a deeper dive into many of the topics that create food confusion. These will include:
Nutrient Density
Food Psychology and calming practices around food
Intuitive Eating Tips
Macro and Micronutrients
Nature’s Superfoods
Food combining
Making Vegetables the STAR
Gut health
What’s right for YOUR body (Paleo/Whole 30, low carb/keto, low fat, vegetarian/vegan, and macro counting)
Micronutrients
Dairy & Grains
And, of course, I will share some favorite healthy recipes!
Most importantly, know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to YOUR nutrition. We have different genes, different gene expression, different lifestyles, health issues, activity levels, and goals. All of these elements influence what an optimal approach might be, and these factors change over time. The only way to truly know what is best for you is experimentation. We will cover how to go about doing finding your optimal nutrition and offer you support and tips to make nutrition less overwhelming.
TRUTH: I STILL get overwhelmed by nutrition too, the constant evolution of science surrounding food, and I study this stuff. I get stressed and grab a cookie. Making ourselves aware of our habits is one step in moving closer to healthier eating. But a cookie now and then is what makes life more fun! We will find the balance between what nourishes your body, and what feeds your soul.
Egg Roll In a Bowl
This egg roll in a bowl checked off a lot of boxes for me. Veggies- check! Spice- check! Crunch- check! Filling- check! Not Mexican again- check! Some of the best things about the egg roll in a bowl are that it’s healthy, easy, different than our usual dinners, and it’s super satisfying. If you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner that’s not Mexican again, try the egg roll in a bowl.
Healthier Chicken Salad
This chicken salad is made with Greek yogurt for added protein, Dijon mustard for flavor, and some other stuff that tastes good and makes your body feel good too. I am always up for making chicken salad with leftover chicken. Why? Let me share: 1. It usually tastes better the second day. 2. It’s a quick and easy lunch to have on hand. 3. Leftover chicken can sometimes be DRY. Like SAWDUST. But NOT this chicken salad. It’s creamy and delicious, without inflammatory seed oils. And #4. Because I LIKE IT!
Perfect Oven Roasted Veggies
Do you love roasted vegetables? ME TOO! I like to eat them FRESH to death or as leftovers for breakfast or lunch. EAT YOUR VEGGIES. Eat the rainbow. All the colors help you to get in a variety of nutrients. Try things you haven’t tried in a while, and maybe you’ll find it’s better than when you were a kid. We’re looking at you, Brussels.
