This That bowl = balance in action 🙌

💫Morel mushrooms aren’t just a gourmet upgrade—they’re a nutrition powerhouse. They provide antioxidants, iron, vitamin D, and compounds that support immune health.

🤝Paired here with shrimp for lean protein, colorful veggies for fiber + phytonutrients, and pasta of course, this meal hits all the marks.

✨ What makes this balanced:
• Protein: shrimp for muscle + satiety
• Fiber & micronutrients: broccoli, peppers, Brussels sprouts
• Healthy carbs: pasta for sustained energy
🌟Functional boost: morels for immune + mineral support

💪Eating well doesn’t mean restriction—it means building a plate that works with your body
(Thanks to my hubby for finding these guys 😘)

Brain food in its simplest form 🧠✨

As a registered dietitian, I’m always reminding clients that what you snack on matters—especially for long-term brain health. As a dietitian with multiple sclerosis, I try to practice this as much as possible

• **Walnuts** are rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids → linked to improved cognitive function and reduced inflammation (important for everyone, but especial with multiple sclerosis)

Regularly including nuts like these may support:
✔ Memory and focus
✔ Reduced risk of cognitive decline
✔ Stable energy (no sugar crashes)

💡 Dietitian tip: Aim for a small handful (about ¼ cup) as a snack or sprinkle on salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.

Simple. Nourishing. Brain-supportive.

❤️It’s heart health month!❤️
✨One of the most powerful (and underrated) ways to support your heart health is through fiber rich foods, eating plant forward 🌱
🌟Heart healthy foods to eat more often:: #1 fruits and vegetables (eat the rainbow 🌈). Also important, whole grains, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds🌟

🙈Our garden this year didn’t produce big numbers, but did produce huge smiles!
If you can do any gardening, I 10/10 recommend it. Next year we’ll have more crop 😆

To my surprise, my garden sprouted some broccolini 😍😍😍
Izzy was very proud, and loved it! We roasted them with some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
I’ll be planting more next year in Izzy’s Xmas tree garden
