Here’s how our registered dietitian, Laura, recommends navigating the grocery store ⬇️

Shop the perimeter first: Focus on produce, lean proteins, and dairy before heading to packaged foods.

✔️ Read ingredients, not just labels: Shorter ingredient lists with recognizable foods are a good rule of thumb.
✔️ Pair protein + fiber: Think Greek yogurt + berries, hummus + veggies, chicken + quinoa.
✔️ Don’t shop hungry: It really does make a difference.
✔️ Plan 3 core meals before you go. Not 10 Pinterest recipes.

Here are quick tips you can implement today ⬇️

🔁 Whole fruit instead of fruit juice
Fiber slows absorption and supports blood sugar balance.

🔁 Grilled or baked over fried
Same protein. Less added fat.

🔁 Water or sparkling water over soda
Hydration without added sugar.

Balanced doesn’t have to mean complicated.

New U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines reinforce the shift to focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods…not fear entire macronutrients. That means choosing fats that come from real, minimally processed foods rather than highly processed sources.

At PathPoint Health, we help patients develop meal plans and recipes rooted in real food, not outdated diet myths.

Feeling lucky? Start with what’s on your plate.

This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re celebrating all things green, especially the ones that support metabolic health. The USDA new dietary guidelines remind us to prioritize nutrient-dense, real foods, and your greens are a great place to start.

✅ Leafy greens for fiber
✅ Avocados for healthy fats
✅ Veggies that fuel steady energy
✅ Unsweetened green tea for hydration

No luck required—just balanced choices 🍀

We’re here to ensure you feel welcomed, understood and empowered, because we recognize that your health can be influenced by factors that aren’t always obvious or circumstances that are beyond your control.
