Lately, I’ve been seeing a clear pattern in my sessions.
My high-achieving clients are not lacking motivation.
They are lacking structure during an already full December.

A few simple anchors are making such a difference for them right now:
• a protein-forward start to the day
• small intentional pauses to reset between tasks
• one evening ritual that actually supports sleep

These are tiny shifts, but they create noticeable changes in focus, energy, and blood sugar… especially when life gets busy.

If this season feels a bit packed for you too, you are not alone.✨
What is one habit helping you feel more grounded this week?

Last Thursday’s rain didn’t stop this incredible group — and I’m so grateful it didn’t stop me either. 💚

I taught the first session in a hands-on nutrition + cooking workshop series with the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation League program, in collaboration with The H4H Foundation.
A special thank you to Nirupa Sejpal for connecting us — truly grateful for partnerships that help bring meaningful programs like this to our youth. 🤝✨

These teens and tweens showed up with so much curiosity and enthusiasm. We built colorful, nourishing plant-based plates and a fun fruit-infused beverage, and their excitement while tasting everything was the highlight of my night.

After the long drive home, I ended the evening by enjoying my own sample plate — the perfect cozy dinner after a rainy night of teaching. ☺️💚

As we head into Thanksgiving week, I’m feeling especially thankful for opportunities to support, inspire, and empower our youth to build a healthier relationship with food — one delicious bite at a time. ✨

Yesterday was a full (and inspiring!) day of teaching 💚
I had the privilege of leading an advanced CEU webinar for Hy-Vee dietitians across the country: Insulin Resistance in Practice.

We walked through the latest research, cleared up common myths, and dug into real-world, culturally inclusive counseling strategies — perfect timing for Diabetes Awareness Month.

Loved the thoughtful questions and the shared commitment to helping people manage blood sugar with confidence. Feeling grateful to do this work and to support our nutrition community. 💚

Happy Friday!

I’m resharing my World Diabetes Day post here, because so many of you have asked for simple, practical tools to support your blood sugars.

I just re-opened my self-paced program, Blood Sugar Confidence, and for the next 24 hours I’m offering 50% off in honor of World Diabetes Day.
This program teaches the exact foundational framework I’ve used for years to help people feel more confident navigating their meals, numbers, and daily choices.

If you’d like to join, here’s the direct link:

If you have questions or want to know if this program is a good fit for you, message me — I’m happy to help.

And if you know someone who could benefit from a clearer, simpler way to support their blood sugars, please feel free to share this with them. 💙

Today is 🌎 Diabetes Day, and I’m reflecting on a story that shaped my entire career.

Many people don’t know this, but my mom lived with diabetes in India.
Even from here in Los Angeles, I saw the challenges she faced — limited guidance, conflicting advice, and complications that I truly believe could have been prevented with better support and education.

Her journey is one of the reasons I became a diabetes care and education specialist, and an advocate for clear, compassionate, culturally inclusive care.

I’ve spent the last 25+ years helping individuals, families, and communities feel more confident navigating their blood sugars — not through fear or restriction but through understanding, empowerment, and practical tools that fit real life.

If there’s one message I want to share today, it’s this:
Diabetes education should be accessible, grounded in evidence, culturally relevant, and delivered with empathy.

When people understand what is happening in their bodies and how to support it, everything becomes more manageable and far less overwhelming.

In honor of World Diabetes Day, I am offering 50% off my self-paced program, Blood Sugar Confidence, for the next 24 hours.
This program distills the foundational tools I’ve taught for years — the same ones that help people feel supported, more informed, and more confident navigating their numbers.

If you would like the link or have questions, feel free to message me.
I’m here to support you in any way I can. 💙

Excited to start a new collaboration with Dr. Lisa Jewell and the South Bay Plastic Surgeons team.
Weight-loss medications can be a helpful tool, but real, lasting progress happens when we pair them with personalized nutrition that protects muscle, stabilizes energy, and supports metabolic health.

As a dietitian and diabetes care specialist, I love helping clients build strong, sustainable, culturally inclusive routines that truly fit their lives.
Grateful for this partnership and the opportunity to support patients in a comprehensive, whole-person way✨

From a behind-the-scenes coffee spill ☕ right before going live… to connecting with 2100+ live attendees worldwide! 🌍

Feeling grateful for an incredible webinar experience with , and the opportunity to share practical, evidence-based strategies with colleagues around the globe.

It was such a pleasure presenting alongside and , with Susan Pac skillfully moderating and seamless behind-the-scenes support from the team.
Loved the energy, thoughtful questions, and engagement from so many of you. Science and nutrition truly unite us — wherever we are in the world. 💚

(And yes, a quick outfit change saved the day after that pre-webinar coffee spill! 😉☕)

A little flashback to my 2019 segment on Torrance CitiCable — sharing ways to make Halloween fun, balanced, and inclusive. 💛

Years later, the message still fits:
🍭 One night of candy won’t derail healthy habits.
🥗 Eat a balanced meal before trick-or-treating.
💧 Hydrate and enjoy sweets mindfully — no guilt, just awareness.
💙 And try offering both candy and non-food treats like bubbles, stickers, or glow sticks so everyone can join the fun!

Here’s to a sweet, safe, and inclusive Halloween for all. 🎃💙

10/21/2025

From our 🏡 to yours — wishing you light, love, good food, health, and joy this Diwali. ✨

Celebrations like these remind me how deeply food, culture, and community are intertwined — and how sharing a meal can truly brighten our hearts. 💛

May your days ahead be filled with flavor, laughter, and light.

What an unforgettable few days in Nashville! 🎶
This year’s FNCE (Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo®) was extra special — I received the National Media Excellence Award, presented my Learning Lounge session “The Power of Presence,” and reconnected with so many friends, colleagues, and mentors who continue to inspire me. 💛

From fun to the Executive Committee meeting, brand receptions, and the bustling Expo Hall — every moment reminded me how much I love being part of this profession.
It was wonderful meeting Susan Pac from in person (and seeing our upcoming webinar featured!) and catching up with favorite partners at events hosted by Tart🍒 Healthy Family Project, NOW foods, Wonderful Pistachios, and My Fitness Pal.

So many overlapping events — I appreciated all the invites and wish I could have joined every one!
Grateful for the laughter, learning, and love that filled this week.
’Til next year, FNCE 💛✨
