Contrary to what you social media feed might have you believe, snacking doesn't have to be complicated or fancy. We love cheese sticks or babybel cheese for their portability, and many nutritional benefits! (And, of course, cheese is delicious!)

We are loving the festive look in our office these days! While many of us love the joy and warmth of this season, we also recognize the challenges that it brings for our clients struggling with infertility or eating disorders.

Whatever your feelings, traditions, or celebrations look like this year, we're here to support you through them. And if you're in need of a little more joy, we've got plenty to share 😊.

Ok I've gotta be honest here... when I (Rebecca) saw these at the store, my reaction was 'seriously... this protein thing has gone tooooo far'.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Registered Dietitian, I'm a fan of protein! Protein is great. We all need it. But, we don't it added to everything.

If you truly LOVE the flavor and texture of protein poptarts more than the good ol' fashioned ones, great. Knock yourself out.

However, this is a friendly reminder that if you prefer the regular ones, you don't have to suffer through (or even TRY) protein poptarts to justify eating them. The standard ones, as part of a balanced intake, are dietitian approved! 👍👌✔️

We can't let Thanksgiving go by without expressing how grateful we are to each and every one of our clients - past, current, and future. The fact that you allow us to be a part of one of your most vulnerable journeys; you entrust us to help you navigate incredible challenges; you share both the big and small victories with us... we love this work because of YOU.

Our clients are the heart and inspiration of everything we do, and we truly couldn't do this work without you. Thank you today, and every day that you keep showing up.

You are so valuable, because you are you.

In case you needed permission, or a reminder... here it is. Diet culture messages seem to come from every angle this time of year. Feel free to ghost it, or send a little "fork you!". Whatever your style, you’re allowed to unfollow, unlearn, unfriend, and disengage. 😉👌

Just a reminder that not every meal has to be Pinterest-worthy. Sometimes it’s a few random fridge finds and the end of a bag of chips. That still counts! We love a chaotic, nourishing masterpiece.
