M Care - Personalized Clinical Nutrition

02/25/2025

🥳 I’m so excited to share that I am now a part of the Berry Street team and in network with many insurance companies! Including Anthem, BCBS, United Healthcare, Aetna, and waiting for a few more! 🥳

What does that mean for you?
It means that most policies consider nutrition counseling apart of preventative care - aka $0 out of pocket for you!

If you have been wanting to meet with a nutritionist but had doubts, or didn’t know if it was in your budget - this is your sign! Invest in yourself and your health. 🍓🍓

🎃 Halloween is coming up - if you celebrate, here is your PSA to not talk negative about "all the sugar" in the candy your kiddo will be getting. Why?

Because it's confusing them; if it's bad, then why are they allowed to have it? It also puts it on a pedestal, making it more appealing.

🍬💓🍭 If you DO want to talk about it; talk about what your favorite candy was as a kid, why you liked it so much, how your parents stole their favorite from your candy basket - you get the jist. Make it all things they can relate too, while secretly connecting with them. 😉

And most importantly, let them enjoy the moment and let them be kids. Halloween is supposed to be two things: FUN and centered around candy. Accept that and move on.

That night or the next day YOU decide how you handle how much they have; but because you are the parent and get to decide what is served, and they are the child and get to decide what goes into their body; NOT because "candy is bad". It's as simple as that!

Nutrition is my passion and I'm here to help create healthy relationships with food for everyone.

PS this goes for adults too! If you want to enjoy the Halloween candy, then do! I promise, this one day does not swing your "health pendulum" into absolute despair.

Saturday Mornings Are For Baking

This is the perfect way to use your over ripe bananas! Especially if you're sick of regular banana muffins and are ready for fall flavors!!

Here is a recipe from Joyus Apron that has become a tried and true!

If you know me, you know that I ALWAYS have some substitutions. Here are mine (and they are kid approved!)

- decrease to 1/2 cup of sugar
- substitute for avocado oil (buy it at Aldi - its affordable and has all clean ingredients)
- 1 tbsp of milled flax seeds (I do this to everything I bake, I promise it changes nothing and has zero taste but has a lot of health benefits!)
- Your choice of chocolate chips - type and amount 😉

Let me know if you try it out!

This Pumpkin Banana Muffin recipe combines pumpkin puree and mashed banana to create this moist, soft and delicious sweet treat!
