Once a month I cook a big batch of gigante beans in my Instant Pot® and freeze them in Souper Cubes for easy meal prep during the week. I can defrost them and use them for salads, soups and side dishes. You can also freeze leftover canned beans so they don’t go to waste. Beans are a great way to add more fiber to your meals and they’re also delicious. It’s recommend that women get 25-28g of fiber and men get 37g of fiber a day (men over 50 30g) Eat more beans. Your colon will thank you.

Next book on deck! I’m so excited to read this book, written by my very own former clinical supervisor, Meg Bowman about how trauma can affect the body, how you eat and how nutrition can help. Meg is the reason I offer trauma informed nutrition counseling in my own practice. If you feel that trauma has impacted how you eat, this book is for you. And if you want to learn how to change your relationship with food, book a free 15 minute call. Most insurance excepted. Link in bio.

So many things about you have changed since high school. You’re smarter, funnier, more experienced. So why should your weight stay the same? And why do we expect that it should? Bodies are constantly changing. That’s normal. So stop trying to stay the same. Growth is good.

Questions to ask your health insurance to see if you have nutrition benefits:

Do I have coverage for medical nutrition therapy or nutrition counseling?

Are these nutrition visit procedure codes covered, 97802 and 97803?

What diagnosis or conditions are considered as preventive for these services?

How many visits are covered per calendar year or plan year?

What is my copay, coinsurance, and
deductible?

Is prior authorization required?

Is there any limitation or exclusion for coverage of these services? (Limited number of visits, age, diagnosis)

Is Robin Gatter an in-network covered provider under my plan?

Did you know…..

You may be able to access preventative services with a licensed nutritionist through your insurance for FREE?

What qualifies as preventive?

Hypertension

High Cholesterol

Pre-Diabetes

Diabetes

Certain BMI’s (under or over)

That means you may not even have to pay a co-pay and get unlimited visits

For other conditions you can still see a nutritionist, but there may be a co-pay or costs towards your deductible. Every plan is different.

To see if your insurance will cover visits, call the number on the back of your card and ask if CPT codes 97802 and 97803 are covered and for how many visits.

ADHD Meal Prep Hack!

Still photo because my kitchen is a shoebox and setting up a tripod would be impossible

I didn’t make these crab cakes tonight. I made them 2 months ago and they’ve been hanging out in my freezer. With ADHD you don’t always have the ability for task initiation to make yourself food. Or you get overwhelmed by the thought of cooking and cleaning up. So when you DO have the spoons to cook, make double or triple batches. It’s just as easy to make 8 crab cakes as it is 4. Easier than making crab cakes 2 different times for sure. So all I had to do was sear these off in a pan and finish them in the toaster oven and they were ready to eat. And my cleanup is far less than if I had made them from scratch. Make more each time and soon your freezer will be filled with easy weeknight meals!

2 years of grad school. 2 years of clinical supervision. 1000 hours of seeing clients and observing supervisors with clients. All while working full time (and sometimes second and side jobs)

Going back to grad school at 45 is no joke. Especially when you have undiagnosed ADHD and you were a terrible student. But it was all worth it because of this moment.

It's finally DONE!

WoooooHoooooo!!!!

Easy like Sunday morning but with bed head. Still smiling from my day by the beach yesterday with a good friend, catching up on life and discussing world topics. I love my friends. They are some of the most intelligent and caring people I know and our conversations fill my cup.
