🍽️ 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆’𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀

Mindful portion control encourages us to tune in to our body’s natural hunger and fullness cues. This is a skill often overlooked in today’s fast-paced, diet-focused world.

🔬 When we eat mindfully, we allow our body’s regulatory hormones (𝘨𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴) to guide our eating behavior. This helps prevent overeating, improves digestion, and enhances our overall relationship with food.

Start practicing today by:
1️⃣ Checking in with your hunger before eating.
2️⃣ Eating slowly, without distractions.
3️⃣ Pausing midway to assess fullness.

☕ Everyone’s Losing It Over the Starbucks “Protein Latte”

But is it actually healthy… or just marketing with muscles? 👀

🔍 What’s Really In It

Starbucks claims up to 27–36g protein in a grande (or 15–18g in the foam).
Sounds impressive — but here’s the catch:

➡️ Protein: From added whey — quality source, but fast-digesting.
➡️ Sugar: Can still hit 25–40g carbs depending on flavor.
➡️ Fat/Fiber: Minimal → not blood-sugar friendly.

So yes, you’re getting protein… but not balance.

⸻

💵 Cost + Convenience

☕ Starbucks Protein Latte
💰 $6–$8 | 💪 27–36g protein
🧠 Convenient but pricey — and often loaded with sugar.

🧋 Nina’s Version
💰 ~$5.50–$6 | 💪 ~30–33g protein
✨ 1 Fairlife Protein Shake (30g) + Starbucks Blonde Iced Coffee
Cleaner, lactose-free, lower sugar.

🏠 DIY at Home
💰 ~$1.75–$2 | 💪 ~32–33g protein
✅ 8oz Fairlife Milk + 1 scoop whey + brewed coffee.
Cheapest + best control = smarter fuel.

⸻

⚖️ How to Make It Metabolically Smart

🥜 Pair with fat or fiber (nuts, chia, fruit + nut butter)
🍳 Don’t skip your meal — protein ≠ breakfast
🧊 Skip syrups or ask for half-sweet
💧 Hydrate — caffeine + protein still stress your system

⸻

🧠 RDN Takeaway

Love the trend, but don’t be fooled — protein coffee isn’t magic.
Real metabolic health comes from balance, consistency, and awareness.

Pair caffeine with protein, fiber, and healthy fats for steady energy + better blood sugar.

So what’s your pick?
☕ The hype drink
🧋 The balanced blend
🏠 Or the DIY that saves your wallet and your metabolism?

🌿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 “𝗼𝗳𝗳”?

Sometimes, the answers lie beneath the surface. 🧬
The 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 looks deeper by checking how your body is actually using nutrients, how well you’re managing stress, and whether toxins or imbalances might be getting in the way of feeling your best.

It’s not just about what you eat, it’s about how your body processes and thrives with it. 💚

✨ Think of it as a roadmap for your health: personalized, insightful, and science-backed.

If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, or simply curious about what your body truly needs, the NutrEval Test might be the next step toward clarity and balance.

📸✨ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 + 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁

This past weekend I attended the 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀. I’m so grateful to my employer, 𝗝𝗠𝟮𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, for this opportunity as I work toward achieving my CDCES credential.

From exploring diabetes distress and burnout ➡️ to strategies for listening and normalizing ➡️ to the expanding role of GLP-1s in metabolic health, every session reinforced the importance of pairing evidence-based care with compassion.

💡 Key takeaways:

🔸Ask real questions — “What’s the one thing about diabetes that’s driving you crazy?”
🔸Normalize patient experiences — burnout, distress, and depression each need unique support.
🔸GLP-1s impact far more than weight: they affect the brain, gut, heart, and inflammation pathways.
🔸People living with diabetes face 𝟭𝟴𝟬+ 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆 — our role is to help reduce that burden.

I’m excited to bring these insights back to my patients and continue supporting metabolic health with both science and empathy. 💪

✨ I’m honored to be featured in Good Housekeeping! 📝 In this article, I shared insights on prebiotic fibers and the recommendations for prebiotic fiber. 💚

📗In this article, I said:

Here’s a reminder: taking care of your gut isn’t just about gut health. Prebiotic fiber = potential perk for your brain.🌀

✨ 𝑭𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒙𝒙𝒊𝒏𝒈 is the latest wellness trend — eating way more fiber than the daily recommendation to boost gut health, satiety, blood sugar balance, and more. 🥑🌾🥕

While upping your fiber is great, too much too fast can cause bloating, cramping, and discomfort. The key? 🚰 Hydrate, diversify your sources, and increase gradually.

You can read more about fibermaxxing on the blog here.

Bottom line: More fiber can do wonders — but balance beats extremes every time. 💚
