  • Hi guys! Do you eat squash or just decorate with them this time of year? I had the chance to catch up with @jackiebendertv on @livinghealthytv about the nourishing side of the squash squad — pumpkin, acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash, plus zucchini and yellow squash. They are not only tasty, but packed with vitamin A + potassium + magnesium +folate + fiber 🙌#chicago #nutritionist #media #consultant #fall #gourds
  • Are you a plant milk fan? 🙌 Whether you’re ditching dairy altogether or dabbling in alternatives, the plant-based milk aisle is loaded with nut, grain and legume-based bevies. Which ones are good choices? I explore this in my latest article @chihealthmag Thanks to my dietitian colleagues @onceuponapumpkin @kimkirchherr for lending your nourishing words of wisdom. . . . I am all about checking the labels. Look for: ✅unsweetened ✅aim for 8 grams of protein per cup ✅300 mg of calcium per cup . . . Taste, flavor and culinary versatility are big factors, too. Which are your faves? . . . #plantmilks #nutmilk #plantbased #lifestyle #nourishing #protein #nondairy #simplechanges #vsrnutritiontoday #chicagohealth #milkadamia #ripple #oatmilk #flaxmilk #eatrightpro #nutritionist
  • Do you ever feel like it’s hard to focus on one thing these days? I do. Yet, when you do, it feels AMAZING! 🙌 You know those days when you are checking things off your list; you’re productive and joyful at work and believing in yourself. Wouldn’t it be great to feel like that every day? Getting into ruts with what you feed yourself — whether food, thoughts or emotions are toxic behaviors that can spiral out of control. Sometimes all it takes is a new focus or a lifestyle detox! . . . I’ve been working hard to build a community for lifestyle evolvers who want to make healthy eating a lifestyle and not a quick fix. Join my 21-day “Detox Your Lifestyle” program and community to bring back the joy in eating, cooking and nourishing yourself! Enrollment starts TODAY thru Saturday, Sept 21. (Click the link in my profile >>>🥦🥒🍒🍊🍏>>>>) Hope to see you there! . . . #detox #lifestyledetox #realfood #focus #simplechanges #habits #reboot #detoxyourlifestyle #vsrnutrition #lifestylejunkie #community #nourishing #healthylifestyle #eatrightpro #nutritionist
