SWIPE! ➡️

Had such a great time at this past week!

At the New York Restaurant Show, I spent the day exploring the latest food trends, innovations, and technology shaping the future of the foodservice industry in the Northeast. 🍽️

As an exercise physiologist and sports nutritionist,
it’s always fascinating to see how evolving restaurant
menus, ingredients, and food concepts intersect with
the way we think about health and nutrition. 💪

And to top off a great day, we went to dinner at in Hudson Yards and enjoyed a delicious variety of dishes including my personal favorite the Roasted Beets, Elderflower-Yogurt, Lemon,
and Crispy Chickpeas.

Kudos to Chef for this elevated dining experience.

Think the number on the scale tells your health
story? Think again. 🛑

Here are 6 ways to assess health risk
beyond the scale and why...

1️⃣ Blood Pressure: Healthy numbers indicate a
stronger heart and lower risk of chronic disease. ❤️
2️⃣ Muscle Mass: maintaining muscle supports metabolic health, strength, and long-term mobility. 🏋️‍♂️
3️⃣ Waist Circumference: is a better predictor of health risk than BMI as excess “belly fat” i.e visceral fat increases risk for heart disease andinsulin resistance. 🌟
4️⃣ Grip Strength: Strong hands = marker of a
stronger body and better daily function. ✊
5️⃣ Blood Sugar: stable levels reduce risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, inflammation and damage to blood vessels and organs. AND helps maintain even levels of energy and even mood! 🍎
6️⃣ Cholesterol: Balanced cholesterol supports
heart and blood vessel health, although there are more advanced and accurate markers of cardiovascular health
available now as well. 🩺

Size is NOT the best predictor of metabolic health...

Here are the key points to take away:

Cardiovascular Risks: Metabolic markers are far superior to BMI at predicting risk of heart disease and dèäth.

It is estimated that 30 million Americans have
“Normal Weight Obesity” (NOW)

It is the high level of visceral fat, not the size of the body alone, that influences inflammation and disease risk including high blood pressure and insulin resistance which contribute to risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Fitness is protective. Sedentary is harmful to health.

Adequate muscle and movement can help reduce the
risk of metabolic dysregulation regardless of size or weight.

SWIPE TO FOR THE MYTHS AND FACTS ➡️

There is so much noise on social media right now. Buzzwords like “seed oils”, “detox” and “intermittent fasting” are everywhere.

But the truth MATTERS!

As a sports nutritionist and exercise physiologist, I can tell you:

✖️ Seed oils don’t cause inflammation.

✖️ Detoxes aren’t necessary to cleanse your body.

✖️ Fasting isn’t required for digestive rest.

Exercise: one of the most under-prescribed interventions
in medicine ⬇️
