We’re honored to be featured in Real Simple in a piece exploring mindful eating and what it truly means to slow down with food.

At Leisano Living, nutrition is more than what is on the plate. It is also about how you engage with each meal, bringing presence, care, and intention, even in the middle of a full life. This article reflects the heart of how we support our community every day.

If you know someone looking for a dietitian who understands the demands high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs carry, we would love to connect.

We currently accept insurance-based clients in NY, IL, GA, and in states that do not require licensure, including CA.

Post-retreat reminder: Your body thrives on rhythm.

Travel interrupts that rhythm, and hydration is often the first thing to slip.

A refill, a few deep breaths, a return to flow.

We’re honored to share that our founder, Leisan Echols, MS, RDN, CSCS, was recently featured in (Health) discussing one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of training: what to eat after a workout 💪🏾🥗.

In the feature, she highlighted:
“Protein supports muscle repair and growth.”

and

“Eat carbs and protein together, since the carbs trigger insulin, a hormone that helps deliver protein into muscle more efficiently.”

I recently had the opportunity to share my professional perspective in a new feature on BlackDoctor.org, breaking down what canola oil actually is, how it compares to other cooking oils, and why it can be part of a heart-supportive approach to eating, particularly in Black communities where rates of hypertension and heart disease remain high.

Support comes in many forms: friends, books, routines, and even playlists.

This week, we’re reflecting on what (or who) has helped us stay grounded.

For our favorite twins, during our Selah Saint Lucia retreat, it was yoga, breath, and connection. There’s something powerful about taking a moment to pause, stretch, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.
