Healthy habits come and go with seasons…

Just 5 years ago, health looked like long runs, hot yoga, journaling, therapy, 8 hours of sleep, self-care, and discovering who I was.

At 32, health looks different.

I’m incredibly grateful for the foundation I built in my 20s.
Not every habit has stuck — but none of them were wasted.

They’re tools.
And I’ll return to them when the season allows.

In this current season — matrescence — I’m learning so much, including:

1️⃣ Emotional regulation
2️⃣ Time management
3️⃣ Boundaries

And yes, this is HEALTH, too.

Because nervous system stability is health.
Because modeling balance for my boys is health.
Because longevity starts with how we live daily — not what we perfect occasionally.

I still work out —
but they’re home workouts, interrupted every 3 minutes.

I still eat plant-based —
but some nights the plates are a little more noodle-forward for the boys.

I still do yoga—
for 5 mins with my little guy climbing all over me.

I still prioritize sleep 👀 —
Okay… I try 🤪

Your healthiest season might not look like your most aesthetic one — and that’s okay.

What does health look like in your current season?

It hurts my heart to hear someone say,
“I’ve been bad.”

For enjoying a donut.
For eating a cookie.
For having their favorite sweet treat.

Food and morality have nothing to do with each other.

As a dietitian, I want you to mindfully choose foods you love — that love you back.
And contrary to popular belief, that can include sugar.

I love helping clients understand how sugar actually affects their body.

There’s a difference between natural sugars (like fruit, packaged with fiber and nutrients) and added sugars (more concentrated and easier to overconsume).

To eat intuitively is to make room for both —
knowing when each serves you.

Sometimes we need it laid out, bluntly. So here it is!

Which one made you feel called out? 🙈

Personally, I need to work on using my breath as a tool more frequently, not just to wind down at the end of the day.

“I don’t cook with salt.”

I hear this all the time.

And most of the time… it’s true.

But the majority of sodium in the average diet doesn’t come from the salt shaker. It comes from restaurant foods, packaged and prepared foods — even ones we eat daily without thinking twice.

A sandwich with:
• 2 slices of bread
• Cheese
• Deli meat
• Sauce

Can easily hit 1,000+ mg before you ever “add salt.”

Salt isn’t bad.
Sodium is essential… it’s an electrolyte!
But awareness matters.

Especially if you struggle with:
• High blood pressure
• Fluid retention
• Bloating
• Family history of heart disease
• Acid reflux

The point of this isn’t to scare you.
It’s to bring awareness to how quickly sodium adds up, where it adds up, and to highlight how too much of it can affect you now and in the long run.

Food patterns are rarely just about food.
They’re about culture. Control. Comfort. Scarcity. Praise. Shame. Love.

Most of us were raised with some messaging around food —
“Clean your plate.”
“Good foods vs. bad foods.”
“You must eat everything on your plate.”
“Dessert is earned.”

While it may have been well-intentioned, it likely shaped our relationship with food in ways we’re still unpacking.

As parents, we have the opportunity to change the way future generations feel around food by asking:

What kind of food environment do I want to create in my home?

What’s one thing you want to do differently around food with your kids compared to how you were raised?
