March is National Nutrition Month - a great time to unwrap the facts! Nutrition labels can look straightforward, but they’re often more complex, and sometimes more misleading, than they appear.

In this class, we’ll break down each part of the label—from serving size to ingredients lists—and show you how to:
✔️ Spot deceptive health claims
✔️ Understand what each section really means
✔️ Read labels with confidence instead of confusion
✔️ Choose foods that genuinely support your health goals

When you understand labels, grocery decisions become clearer, calmer, and more empowering.

This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

Eating disorders don’t always look the way people expect—and they don’t require a certain body size, background, or diagnosis to be real.

This week is about awareness, early support, and reducing stigma. Many individuals struggle quietly with food, body image, and control around eating, often believing they need to be “sick enough” before asking for help. That belief can delay care and deepen isolation.

At Summerfield Custom Wellness, we believe:
• Support should be accessible and compassionate
• Healing is not linear—and that’s okay
• You don’t have to have everything figured out to deserve care

If food feels stressful, rigid, or emotionally exhausting, it may be worth having a conversation. Working with a Registered Dietitian can help rebuild trust with food in a way that feels sustainable, respectful, and individualized.
If this resonates with you—or someone you care about—know that help exists, and support can begin with one small step.
You’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re worthy of support.

Summerfield Custom Wellness is a practice of dietitians and nutritionists providing telehealth nutrition counseling throughout North Carolina!

Citrus reaches its peak (in terms of availability and variety) during the winter months. February is American Heart Month, making it a fabulous time to celebrate the benefits of citrus for heart health. Citrus fruits contain flavonoids, chemicals that occur naturally in plants, which help to reduce cholesterol and inflammation in the body. Citrus is also rich in potassium, an important mineral for regulating blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart problems and stroke. Antioxidants, like vitamin C in citrus, help to reduce the buildup of plaque in the arteries that can lead to heart attacks and stroke.

Try to eat your citrus in its closest to whole form, such as orange wedges on a salad, a grapefruit half alongside breakfast, or lime juice in a dressing. Pick up a new-to-you variety the next time you shop and let us know what you think!

✔️ Vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and artichokes are rich in antioxidants and potassium
