Is your yogurt actually helping your gut… or is it basically dessert in disguise? 🥄🤔

Yogurt can be a great fermented food – but only when it’s made simply and still contains those live, active cultures your gut loves.

Here’s what our dietitian Brandy looks for on the label:
✅ “Live & active cultures” listed
✅ Just a few ingredients (usually milk + cultures)
✅ Little to no added sugar
✅ Bonus: some protein + a little healthy fat to keep you full

And here’s when yogurt starts working against you:
🚩 Long ingredient lists with gums, thickeners, “natural flavors”
🚩 Sugary add-ins that turn it into a dessert cup
🚩 Heat-treated or pasteurized after fermentation (goodbye, probiotics)

Not a fan of plain yogurt or can’t do dairy? You still have options. Listen to our recent Ask a Nutritionist podcast where our dietitian Brandy walks through:
• How to pick a truly gut-supportive yogurt
• The best non-dairy yogurts (and what to add for protein)
• Other fermented foods (like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir & kombucha) if yogurt just isn’t your thing

🥕 Green Veggie Dip – Creamy, herb-packed, and perfect with a big tray of crunchy veggies.
🍠 Sweet Potato Wedges – Baked, kid-friendly finger food you can dip, dunk, and share.
🍲 White Chicken Chili – Cozy, big-batch protein you can keep warm in the slow cooker.
🥩 “This Little Piggy” Meatballs – Easy toothpick meatballs with plenty of flavor and protein.

When most people think “bone health,” they think calcium… maybe a chewable tablet or a glass of milk.

In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, our dietitians Melanie and Britni explain why bone is actually more protein than calcium, why the form of calcium matters, and why healthy fats and vitamin D + K2 are just as critical as the mineral itself.

We share a mini bone-health reset and the story of how Melanie went from severe osteoporosis to almost normal bone density using real food, movement, and targeted supplements.

A cavity is not a fluoride deficiency. 🦷

Think of your mouth as a mineral dashboard for your whole body. If you’re seeing “mystery cavities” — one child with lots while the others have none, decay popping up during pregnancy or nursing, or new cavities along the gumline even though you brush and floss — that’s often a sign your mineral status and absorption need attention, not just your brushing routine.

Here’s what’s really going on 👇

When your body is short on minerals, it will always prioritize your heart, brain, and vital organs over your teeth.

Minerals get pulled out of your teeth, creating tiny weak spots.

Bacteria move in, make more acid, and those weak spots turn into cavities.

Fluoride was designed to make teeth more resistant to acid, but it doesn’t fix the root problem:
👉 Why are minerals leaving the tooth in the first place?

If you want to understand how your teeth and gums can act as a powerful window into your overall health, listen to our Dishing Up Nutrition episode with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

You do not have to love milk to meet your calcium needs. 🥛❌

Real-food all-stars like sardines, canned salmon with the bones, leafy greens, broccoli, chia seeds, tahini, almonds & blackstrap molasses can add up quickly to support strong, healthy bones. Think crunchy salads with broccoli and almonds, creamy tahini dressings over kale, or a simple salmon salad made with canned salmon (bones included!) for an easy calcium boost at lunch or dinner.

Not sure which calcium supplement is right for you? 🤔🦴

Think of calcium supplements as back-up for your plate, not a replacement for real food like leafy greens, broccoli, almonds, and canned salmon with the bones. Here’s a quick guide to help you match your needs:

💪 Key Osteo Plus – Great if you’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis and want a comprehensive bone-support formula. It combines calcium with vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium + other key nutrients in easy AM/PM packets.

➕ Activated Calcium – A simple add-on if you’re already taking vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium, and just need a well-absorbed calcium boost.

🧘‍♀️ Activated Cal-Mag – Ideal if you want both calcium and magnesium together, plus vitamin D3 and phosphorus to support bone mineral density, bone remodeling, and muscle function.

🍫 Activated Chewable Calcium – Perfect if you only need a smaller amount of calcium or don’t love swallowing pills. It delivers a gentle 300 mg in 3 chocolate-flavored chewables using a highly absorbable form of calcium, plus a little magnesium and vitamin D.

And because strong bones are about more than supplements…
