For years, many of my clients believed the answer was cutting out more foods.

😢 No garlic, no dairy, no gluten, no restaurants, no vacations, no spontaneity.

But life gets so much better when you stop fearing food and start understanding your body. 🫶🏽

The goal isn’t to eat the smallest list of “safe” foods possible.

✅ The goal is to identify your true triggers, build confidence around food, and create a way of eating that supports both your gut and your quality of life.

💁🏽‍♀️ Because you can’t heal a starved gut with more restriction.

Food freedom doesn’t happen overnight, but it starts with getting curious instead of fearful. 💚

What food do you wish you could enjoy without worrying about your gut?

It’s hard to believe that a few months ago, all of this started with food scraps from our kitchen. 🥝

♻️ I’ve always hated food waste, so instead of throwing away our fruit and vegetable scraps, our family started composting them.

🍌 Every banana peel, strawberry top, half eaten clementine, and vegetable trimming went into our compost instead of the trash.

At first, we were just trying to reduce waste. But over time, all of those scraps turned into nutrient-rich compost, and we finally had a plan for it. 🪏

🌱 This weekend, we used it to build our family’s first garden bed.

🍉 We layered logs, soil, and compost, then planted cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, eggplant, zucchini, and watermelon.

Watching my kids help plant everything was my favorite part. 🫶🏽

As a dietitian, I spend a lot of time talking about food, but there’s something special about helping your children see where food comes from and giving them a chance to grow it themselves.

☀️ Now comes the patient part: watering, caring for it, and watching it grow.

One of the things I love most about gardening is that it reminds you that growth takes time.

💧 You can’t rush it. You plant the seed, care for it consistently, and trust the process.

I can’t wait to see what this little garden becomes and hopefully enjoy some homegrown produce together in a few months. 🍆

From kitchen scraps to future harvests. 🌱🍅🍉

I finally came around to making this video and showing you what we do with our compost!

🫵🏽 Have you made these IBS mistakes?

💩 IBS is a multi factorial condition, which means there are a variety of factor that impact your symptoms.

🥝 When it comes to managing IBS we shouldn’t just look at WHAT you are eating but also

👉🏽 HOW you are nourishing your body & your relationship with food.

🌟 Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid with IBS:

1. Getting stuck in the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet
2. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
3. Only eating sugar-free or clean foods
4. Eliminating entire food groups forever
5. Fearing food and not seeking help from a IBS dietitian to help you EXPAND your diet

🌟 Working with an IBS dietitian 🙋🏽‍♀️will ensure you keep your diet as varied as possible while reducing your tummy troubles!

If you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of IBS flares and not knowing what or how to eat, let’s chat!

I had the honor of speaking at the Bloom Care launch event for an honest conversation on postpartum recovery 💚

And one thing kept coming up again and again:
🤰🏻 Postpartum moms are carrying SO much.

Healing
Feeding a baby
Sleep deprivation
Hormone shifts
Digestive changes
Learning a completely new identity
And somehow, they’re also expected to “bounce back”?

🙅🏽‍♀️ No thanks

We talked about what postpartum recovery actually looks like through a holistic lens:
✨ Why healing requires fuel
✨ Why carbs are important postpartum (yes, really)
✨ Easy ways to support energy when you’re exhausted
✨ Bloating + constipation tips that actually feel realistic
✨ Why convenience foods absolutely count

One of my favorite reminders from the panel:
Energy comes from calories, not caffeine.

And another:
You cannot heal a depleted body without fuel.

If you’re postpartum and struggling to nourish yourself, this is your reminder that nutrition does not have to be perfect to matter.

Sometimes nourishment looks like a rotisserie chicken, microwave rice, soup, frozen fruit in a smoothie, or snacks stashed everywhere because survival mode is real.

🫶🏽 Healing > bouncing back. Every single time.

Why was this so hard for me?!

A N Y W A Y . . .

If you’re relying on colonics to clear you out regularly, we have bigger fish to fry.

Top 5 reasons you shouldn’t do a colonic:
1️⃣ Tears AKA perforations or injury to colon
2️⃣ Dehydration making constipation WORSE
3️⃣ Makes abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and diarrhea worse in the long run especially for those with IBS!
4️⃣ Risk for infection
5️⃣ Your body already detoxes itself in multiple ways daily thanks to our skin, lungs, kidneys, liver, and gut!

Are you team YAY or HECK NO when it comes to colonics?

Bloating is one of the most common digestive complaints I see as a GI dietitian, but there’s so much misinformation online about what actually helps and makes things worse!

Here’s what I wish more people knew:�✨ Not all fiber is created equal �✨ Constipation is often a major contributor to bloating�✨ Increasing fiber too quickly can backfire �✨ Feeling full after a meal is not the same thing as bloating�✨ Sometimes a 5–10 minute “fart walk” really can help 😌�
One thing I talk about with clients all the time is that for IBS and sensitive digestive systems, choosing the right type of fiber matters.

Gentle soluble fibers like psyllium husk are often better tolerated than highly fermentable fibers.

This is one reason I like low FODMAP-friendly options like lemon ginger psyllium husk for people looking to support regularity without making symptoms worse. * use code SAMINA for 10% off* https://www.gofiberwild.com/?ref=SAMINA

If bloating, constipation, or digestive symptoms are making food feel stressful or confusing, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

🌟SAVE THIS🌟 if you struggle with Acid Reflux & IBS!

There are many ways to manage both without succumbing to diet culture’s gimmicks (AHEM detox teas and cleanses)!

🔥 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) include symptoms of heartburn or regurgitation that is a result of reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus or beyond.

🥴 The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a muscle that contracts to keep your stomach acid and digested food in your stomach.

🤰🏽 With increased pressure in the stomach or relaxation of the LES, your reflux symptoms can flare up.

😩 Many people who struggle with GERD/ Acid Reflux have been told the only solution is weight loss or chugging some tonic of apple cider vinegar when this simply isn’t true.

🌈 Gentle nutrition offers you options to care for your health in a flexible way that fits your lifestyle.

In my 12-Week Food Freedom Program you manage your reflux and IBS symptoms by
🌟 tuning back into your hunger & fullness cues
🌟 identifying your trigger foods
🌟 honoring your initial feelings of hunger
🌟 eating until satisfied and comfortable
🌟 slowing down during meal time & properly chew your food
🌟 and caring for your health in a gentle and practical way without a side of diet culture!

There’s something about that after-school to dinner-time stretch that drains the life out of me 😵‍💫

Between after-school activities, last minute work emails, client notifications, and trying to figure out what won’t upset my stomach later… that afternoon energy crash hits HARD.

And if you have IBS, you probably know the feeling of:
✨ being hungry but scared to eat the “wrong” thing
✨ needing caffeine but worrying about bloating or bathroom urgency
✨ feeling exhausted because digestive symptoms make eating consistently feel complicated

Lately, my go-to has been a snack + this lactose-free protein drink with caffeine ⚡️

20g protein, easy to grab, gentle on my stomach, and actually helps me feel more grounded and energized through the chaos of the evening rush.

Because sometimes IBS-friendly nutrition looks less like perfection and more like finding realistic options that help you feel nourished, energized, and human again 💛

What’s one food or drink you wish felt “safe” for your gut again? ⬇️
