Thank you eatrightPRO for the opportunity to speak at about “Positivity and joy: Key drivers of a successful nutrition practice and career satisfaction.” 💚

I loved being part of this session and working with such a wonderful dream team. Thank you Dawn Jackson Blatner, Dietitian + Nutritionist and Carolyn ONeil!⭐️⭐️⭐️

While we know that healthy eating, movement, and sleep contribute to good health, it turns out so does positivity and joy!

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation. I left feeling inspired and grateful for the opportunity to connect with colleagues around this topic— not your typical FNCE fare.

I was honored to be interviewed by USA TODAY writer Gavin Escott about portion sizes, and one point is especially important: the goal isn’t to eat as little as possible.

A few key takeaways:

• Be mindful of how much you eat at one time—without severely restricting intake.

• Find portions that satisfy you and fit your individual needs and health goals.

• Remember that portion sizes have grown over the years, making it easy to eat more than we realize.

• Build satisfying meals around fiber- and protein-rich foods like vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.

And yes, you can still enjoy the foods you love. ❤️

As I often say, it’s not about rigid rules—it’s about awareness, mindfulness, balance, and finding an approach you can sustain and tuning into your hunger-fullness cues.

I’m excited to be heading to ! (To those who don’t know—It’s like Disney World for dietitians!) Looking forward to catching up with old friends, making new connections, and sharing ideas with colleagues who are passionate about nutrition.

On Sunday morning, I’ll be presenting with Dawn Jackson Blatner, Dietitian + Nutritionist on the role of positivity and joy in nutrition practice and career satisfaction, in a session moderated by Carolyn ONeil. I’m excited to share this work with my talented colleagues!

As a seasoned RD with a PhD, I’m passionate about nutrition education, communication, and finding creative ways to help people eat well, feel great, and live fully.

One of my favorite parts of FNCE is connecting with the amazing people in our field, strengthening existing relationships, and discovering new opportunities to collaborate.

If you’ll be at FNCE, send me a note and let’s connect! 😊

Every fall, I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back to my Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun “KJ”community by speaking about nutrition at the weekly Lunch and Learn for seniors.

This week, we explored the connection between positivity and health, focusing on how small shifts in language can transform our mindset. Instead of saying, “I should take a walk,” we can reframe it as, “I get to take a walk!”

From there, we turned to balanced eating and discussed the healthy (and tasty!) foods we can ADD to our meals to help lower blood pressure and keep it within a healthy range.

The group was lively, with plenty of thoughtful questions and engaging discussion. Most of all, I love seeing these seniors come together each week. Social connection gives us a sense of purpose, brings us joy, and plays an important role in our overall health!
