Five weeks after my preventive double mastectomy and reconstruction, I’m feeling more like myself every day.

I’m still tired. I’m still sore. And by the end of the day my breasts are basically like, “Go the f*** to sleep.”

But overall, I feel like I’ve been healing really well—and nutrition has been a big part of how I’ve supported my recovery.

As a dietitian who actually started my career working in post-surgical recovery and later spent several years working in breast oncology, I knew the basics going in: eat enough, prioritize protein, get plenty of fiber, work in colorful plant foods, and hydrate.

What I didn’t need was a recovery diet that required hours of cooking or perfectly balanced meals.

So in my latest substack post, I’m sharing what recovery nutrition actually looked like for me:

• What I cooked and froze before surgery
• The groceries I stocked up on
• The meal-delivery shortcuts that made life easier
• My easiest protein options
• The meals I ate on repeat
• What I did—and didn’t—stress about nutritionally
• Plus, how I handled feeding a newly 1-year-old while I couldn’t do all my usual mom things

If you’re preparing for breast surgery, recovering from surgery, or helping someone who is, I hope it gives you some practical ideas—and permission to keep things simple.

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭—𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩?

That’s exactly what I’ll be exploring in my presentation, “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩,” at the free 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭.

One of the things we’ll talk about is how balanced meals can help support stable blood sugar, which may also play a role in sleep quality. Small choices can add up, and sometimes a few simple shifts can make a real difference.

Join us online 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟒–𝟏𝟖 for practical guidance, fresh perspectives, and encouraging conversations created for women 40+.

𝐈 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐭.

Somehow, I ended up thinking about my dad, family stories, rock and roll, and the strange little things that become part of what we leave behind.

Legacy is funny that way. We tend to picture it as something big and important, but sometimes it’s a recipe someone keeps making. A business the next generation chooses to carry forward. A ridiculous story that gets retold at every family gathering. Or the values people remember long after they’ve forgotten the details.

My conversation with 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐥 𝐊𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲’𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 Nancy's Yogurt made me think about how much of a family’s story can live inside something they’ve built together—and how the parts that last aren’t always the parts you expect.

Also, there’s a Grateful Dead story in this one, because apparently yogurt history can get surprisingly rock and roll. 😄

I shared the full conversation, along with some thoughts on grief, family, and what we pass down, over on Substack.

And now I’m curious: What’s something from your family you hope never gets lost?

I’m so excited to be speaking at the 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭!🎉

This free online event is happening 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟒–𝟏𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, bringing together experts to help women 40+ feel healthier, more confident, and more vibrant in this season of life.

I’ll be talking about one of my favorite topics: “𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩.” Because when sleep feels off, what and how we eat may be one piece of the puzzle.

We’ll look at how hormonal changes, key nutrients, balanced meals, and even your evening food and drink choices can affect sleep. More importantly, I’ll share small, realistic shifts you can actually work into your routine to support better rest. No perfection required. 😊

I’d love to have you join me!

Fiber absorbs water, which helps it support regular, comfortable digestion.

If you increase your fiber intake without paying attention to fluids, you may end up feeling worse instead of better.

One easy habit: have a glass of water with fiber-rich meals and keep sipping throughout the day.

Fiber + hydration work better together.

My WTF To Eat recipe demos are back! For September I’m sharing one of my favorite meal prep-friendly recipes that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc1bnbWkVpw/?igsi=MTlwc3N5enBrZmtlZw==

This is the week of the year I always associate with my dad’s passing, so grief has been on my mind a little extra lately.

One of the things I’ve learned about grief is that it doesn’t follow a neat timeline.

It can soften, shift, surprise you, or show up years later in ways you weren’t expecting.

Sometimes simply having a place to put some of what you’re carrying can help.

After taking August off while I recovered from surgery, I’ll be leading the next installment of the 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐔𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 at the Center For Mind Body Balance on 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟏 𝐚𝐭 𝟓:𝟑𝟎 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐃𝐓.

This is a supportive space to explore grief through writing—whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago. You don’t need to consider yourself a “writer,” and there’s no pressure to share what you write.

I will also be leading a free support group on September 14 at 6:30 PM EDT at the Center.

Not because every snack needs to be perfectly balanced, but because something with a little protein, fiber, and/or healthy fat is more likely to keep you satisfied when lunch gets pushed or dinner is still a few hours away.

The most useful snacks are usually the ones that are easy to keep around, satisfying enough to do their job, and realistic for where you’ll actually be eating them.

I put together a new Substack post with some of my favorite Back-to-Busy Snack Ideas, including portable options, easy combinations, and what to reach for when you can bring an ice pack.

I also included the protein bars I actually like right now—and yes, I have opinions. 😄

While fiber can help slow digestion, protein and healthy fats add staying power and help support more consistent energy throughout the day.

That’s why I often recommend thinking in combinations instead of single “healthy” foods: an apple with peanut butter, oatmeal with cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt with berries and chia seeds.

Small changes in how you pair foods can make healthy eating feel a lot more practical and satisfying.
