Hello blog readers! Thank you for being here. Today, I am co-writing with my longtime friend and fellow dietitian (AND yoga teacher!) Letal Garber, MS, RD, LD, RYT. Like myself, she sees nutrition through a non-diet lens. Unlike myself, she is an expert in Diabetes (DM) management!

Food was absolutely one of the best parts of the trip. Now, back to reality. If I was still entrenched in a diet/disordered eating mindset like I was many ye

Hands-down, the number one macronutrient (carbs, fats, protein) that I hear people say they’re avoiding are carbohydrates. From my clients – with AND without eating disorders – to family members to friends and next-door neighbor, this fear and avoidance of carbs does not discriminate. Constantly, I hear statements like, “My weakness is English muffins,” “I’m afraid of how many calories are in grains,” or “I’ve just always heard carbs aren’t good for me.” I’ve also noticed th

This is a time of year when I feel like it is really easy to disconnect from our bodies. Whether it’s trying to tie up lose ends at work,...
