🌺✨ Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we celebrate the profound strength, resilience, and tenacity that women cultivate every single day.

At Pea Pod Nutrition, we believe that nourishment is the foundation of empowerment. Violence is an injustice that robs individuals of their safety and wellness.

💜 Our Call to Action: Let's not just observe today—let's act. Take a moment to support a local organization that provides safe spaces or essential resources for women. Speak up. Listen deeply. Together, we can build a world where every woman's safety and well-being are non-negotiable. 💪

October Recipe of the Month in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli contain glucosinolates, which break down into compounds like sulforaphane. These compounds are powerful antioxidants that support the body's natural detoxification processes. Combining this with legumes, which are packed with fiber, helps support gut health, maintain stable blood sugar, and promote overall cellular wellness—all key pillars of a preventative lifestyle.

This recipe is high in fiber and rich in compounds known to support detoxification, making it a great addition to a healthy diet.

We are incredibly proud to spotlight one of the most dynamic leaders on our team: Ryanne Rothenberg, the visionary Private Chef, Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, and owner of Ry's Table!

Ryanne is much more than just a brilliant chef; she is a powerful voice guiding the future of Pea Pod Nutrition. She sits on our Board of Directors and is the driving force as the head of our Fundraising and Events Committee, ensuring our mission to support families is fully funded and fiercely protected.

Ryanne's unique background perfectly embodies the intersection of medicine and food. She brings 15 years of public health experience—specializing in maternal and neonatal health, outreach education, and building essential food security programs—to our board room.

After settling in Atlanta, Ryanne began cooking as a postpartum Ayurveda doula, blending her deep public health knowledge with the ancient principles that food is medicine. This transition launched Ry's Table, a local pop-up renowned for preparing delicious meals featuring global flavors using locally grown, seasonal ingredients.

Ry's Table is a true passion project, offering events, cooking classes, and wellness consultations. Since 2020, Ryanne has been building a Farmstead at her home, where many of her ingredients are grown, and she is now expanding to build an outdoor kitchen for workshops and private events.

Her mission is clear: Nourishing, locally grown food should be accessible to all. Guided by seasonal availability, Ryanne connects customers with local growers, empowering them to make informed food choices and advocate for a stronger, more equitable local food system.

This dedication to food equity is why she is a multi-year Farmer Champion with Georgia Organics and a staunch supporter of local food justice organizations like Wholesome Wave and Food Well Alliance.

Please join us in celebrating Ryanne Rothenberg, whose extensive expertise is essential to achieving Pea Pod Nutrition's goals!
