I finally tried the viral “cheesecake yogurt” trend—but made it more breakfast-friendly. Instead of graham crackers, I used cereal for extra protein + fiber (you could use another brand you love) so this actually keeps me full without needing to add a bunch of extras.

How to prep it:
• Add Greek yogurt to a container
• Stir in crushed cereal
• Cover + refrigerate overnight (or up to 24 hours)
• Stir again before eating

By the next day, it’s thick, creamy, and very cheesecake-adjacent—perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
📝 Not a sponsored post btw—just my curiosity (and love of low-effort, high-protein breakfasts).

If you want a little texture, save a small sprinkle of cereal for the top right before eating. Otherwise, fully mixed = true cheesecake vibes.

If “all-or-nothing” has been your default, this is your sign to retire it.

I’m featured in a Real Simple article by Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, and the whole message is refreshingly simple: stop trying to change everything at once. That’s usually why nothing sticks.

It also includes Samantha Cassetty, MS, RD, and I’m glad it does because health isn’t only about food—it’s also about what stress does to your choices.

𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, and instead of another overwhelming list of rules, I’m talking about what actually supports heart health in real life—especially for women. 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞) 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Inside the Substack, I break down three genuinely approachable heart health habits—including a surprisingly powerful fruit, a simple pantry swap, and a nutrient most of us aren’t getting enough of—plus why small, consistent changes matter more than doing everything “perfectly.”

I’m also hosting an 𝐈𝐆 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐛 𝟏𝟏 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟐 𝐏𝐌 𝐄𝐒𝐓 where we’ll make a cannoli-inspired dessert that proves heart-healthy eating can still feel joyful and indulgent. And because sleep plays a bigger role in heart health than we’re often told, I’m sharing what’s helped me support rest without feeling groggy—especially in this season of life.

Your heart doesn’t need punishment or pressure. It needs consistency, care, and habits that fit into your real life. Start with one small change this week. That’s more than enough.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by heart health advice, this one’s for you.

𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬. 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐟𝐟. 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞… 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐠.👀

I was featured in a new Prevention Magazine article by Korin Miller breaking down research that shows how tiny, doable tweaks to sleep, movement, and diet can seriously add up over time. We’re not talking about overhauling your life—think a few extra minutes of sleep, a short burst of movement, or adding half a serving of veggies to what you already eat.

And the expert list is stacked: Mark Hamer, Ph.D. explains how these little shifts can affect things like blood sugar, inflammation, and blood pressure. Joyce Knestrick, Ph.D.talks about why “start small” works better than giving yourself an impossible plan. Kevin Shah, M.D. adds the perspective that patients are more likely to stick with changes that feel doable. And I shared easy, low-effort ways to sneak in more fruits and veggies into your meals.

If big wellness goals feel overwhelming, this research is a breath of fresh air.

Tiny changes are not “too small to matter.” They’re often the ones that actually stick. 💛

Something I’m intentionally focusing on this year: 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Maybe it’s being in my forties. Maybe it’s new motherhood. But it finally clicked that I wasn’t doing this incredibly approachable, supportive thing for a body that carries me—and others—through every single day.

And I’ve been thinking about stretching beyond exercise, too. Our minds and hearts need it just as much, especially when they’re doing heavy lifting on repeat.

For me, that looks like giving myself permission to read and write fiction, rewatch a comfort show (HIMYM or The Great British Baking Show forever), journal instead of powering through another deadline, and remember that always “working” is a fast track to burnout.

This feels truer the older I get—and it’s one of the few things I’d change if I could go back to my twenties and thirties.

What’s something you’re focusing on this year? ✨

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.

In my latest Forbes article, I look at how women-led supplement brands are changing wellness by leading with real life, then backing it up with real science. From Luna Aziz of Legendairy Milk turning postpartum struggles into smarter lactation support, to Iris Nutrition founders Demi Schweers and Allison Escovedo Owen simplifying hormone health, to Bio.me founders Shannon Race and Chloe reframing fiber and gut health. I also explore how Nutrafol —led by CEO Cindy Gustafson with guidance from board-certified dermatologist and Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd , building on the foundation co-founded by Dr. Sophia Kogan—treats hair health as whole-body health.

What connects them all is trust. Listening first. Building products that respect women’s experiences instead of dismissing them.

If you care about where women’s health supplements are actually headed, this story is for you. Read the full article on Forbes.

Love it and you’re “doing health right.”
Hate it and you’re “missing out.”

But the reality is way less dramatic.

Sometimes green juice feels great. Sometimes it leaves people shaky, hungry, and wondering what just happened. That contrast isn’t random. It usually comes down to how it’s being used, what’s actually in it, and what it’s quietly replacing in the day.

In my latest Substack, I break down when green juice can support energy and digestion, when it tends to backfire, and the small tweaks that help it actually work without turning it into a cleanse, a meal replacement, or a wellness identity.

If you’ve been feeling busy but not okay, try this one question:

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭—𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐰?

Not everything needs to be powered through. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is give your life a little space to breathe.

Here’s a quick check-in you can steal:

What’s taking more from you than it gives back?

What are you doing because you always do it—not because it still fits?

What would feel noticeably lighter by next week?

I wrote a Substack this week that’s part reflection, part reset—and it includes a personal update I’ve been sitting with for a while.

Not forever. Not dramatically. Just long enough to hear yourself think again.

In Episode 249: Hitting Pause, I’m sharing why I’m pressing pause on the podcast for now—what changed, what it brought up, and why a pause can be an intentional choice, not a failure.

If you’ve been running on momentum more than meaning lately, this one’s for you.

Because somehow a gluten-free cookie starts feeling… virtuous? (It’s still a cookie. A delicious cookie. But still.)

Going gluten-free can help when gluten is actually the problem.

But if you’re doing it for “wellness,” the win isn’t swapping everything for GF substitutes—it’s building meals that keep you full and steady.

If that’s what you’re trying to do, I wrote this as a permission slip and a practical guide 👉 https://bit.ly/What-to-Eat-When-Youre-Going-Gluten-Free

P.S. If you’re also sitting on a book idea you keep “meaning to start,” my Book Development Masterclass is February 2, 2026.
