The beauty of Bangladesh 🌺

I asked my body to partner with me on a grand adventure. Over the past week I tried new lentils and curries, sapodilla, shaaka, brinjal, chilies and pumpkin prepared in new-to-me ways, and every syrupy vogh sagor offered. I ate when I would have been asleep in the US. I sat, as requested, in a seat of generous hospitality most of the day. I used Uber to order my own car in Dhaka! (IYKYK) My body pivoted and flexed and was my ally the entire trip. She's never failed to show up for the next adventure.

Working with a Dietitian from Divergent can provide you with a safe place to mindfully explore the different “costs” of dieting and provide a framework to step away from diet culture for good. Dieting has become so normalized that many assume it is perfectly safe and without risk. Intuitive Eating calls us to pause and take inventory of all of the ways restrictive dieting has interfered with our lives and actually taken us further away from health.

As Ramadan continues, if you are navigating this decision, or have already started fasting but are now questioning if it is safe for you:

• You deserve support.
• You deserve nuance.
• You deserve compassion — from others and from yourself.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some may fast with clinical guidance. Some may delay fasting. Some may choose alternative forms of worship. Recovery and spirituality are not mutually exclusive.

Bethany and Sara were invited to put on workshops at The Athlete. Mental Health Summit yesterday and Michelle was invited to speak 1:1 in a mentor style session with athletes, parents, coaches, athletic directors, school counselors and teachers. The Mental Health Summit aims to explore what it means to take care of the whole athlete, highlighting Person before Performance.

We were honored to have this opportunity to connect with local athletes and those who support them and look forward to continued partnership!

A muffin can be:

A reliable source of carbohydrates for steady energy
A gentle, approachable breakfast or snack option
A way to add fiber, fats, and even protein depending on ingredients
A food that brings comfort, memories, and joy

When we allow foods like muffins to exist without guilt or labels, we make space for flexibility, adequacy, and trust in our bodies. Nutrition isn’t about perfection, it’s about nourishment and satisfaction.

Today, let a muffin be just a muffin. And let that be enough.

What if the key to better health isn’t eating less… but eating more variety?

I recently read Eating to Extinction. The book is a compilation of research in which we’re reminded that 75% of the world’s food comes from just 12 plant species. We’ve lost thousands of edible foods—and with them, nutrients that support our gut, immunity, and long-term health.

At Divergent Dietitian we help you bring biodiversity back to your plate. More colors. More grains. More beans. More life in your microbiome.

And the average appointment? Just $25 out of pocket (for insurance users) 😳🤯

Small investment. Big impact—for your health and the planet.

Divergent Dietitian. Expand your plate for a full and free life. 

❤️ Bethany

This Valentine’s Day, I’m not asking my body to be different.
I’m asking it to be mine.

Mine to nourish.
Mine to rest.
Mine to listen to.
Mine to care for, even on the hard days.

You don’t have to love your body to stop fighting it.
You don’t have to feel confident to deserve compassion.

Maybe “Be Mine” isn’t about romance.
Maybe it’s about coming home to yourself.
