  • Weight is not an accurate measure of health. BMI is B.S., so how can you measure your progress with making healthy behavior changes? . . Focus on these non-scale wins! Have you ever made healthy changes and stepped on the scale, only to feel frustrated, wanting to just throw in the towel? It’s much healthier and better in the long haul to throw the scale out and focus on other positive changes in your life, whether it’s an improved mood, better digestion, improved labs, better sleep, or a healthier relationship to food. THESE are ways to measure progress without the scale! 🙌🏼 . . #health #wellness #dietitian #rdn #nutrition #healthy #healthyhabits #nonscalewins #HAES #intuitiveeating #nondiet
  • When it comes to food, do you have an abundance or scarcity mindset? 💭 . . When you know you can have a certain food at any time (and it’s not off limits), it’s less alluring. You can take it or leave it. Eat the amount that satisfies you and move on. Leading to a more balanced relationship to food. (Abundance mindset) . . But when you have food rules, or even just PERCEIVE a food as something you should avoid, it gives that food more power, leading you to feel out of control around it. It also makes the rewarding factor higher in our brains. If you swear off candy for instance, once it’s in front of you, you’re much more likely to overeat it, feel out of control, and not even get true satisfaction and pleasure out of it. . Once you normalize all foods they all become emotional equal. You don’t stress out about cutting foods out of your diet. You focus on choosing foods that make you feel good. Because you know they’re always going to be there and you can have them when you feel like it. . It’s an incredible shift and it’s one of the most rewarding things to witness in my clients’ relationship with food. 💖 . . #dietitian #rdn #evidencebasedpractice #allfoodsfit #health #healthy #wellness #intuitiveeating #healthyliving #feelgoodfood #nutrition #nutritionist #allfoodsfit #nutritiontherapist #nutritioncounseling
  • A little bit about body image 👆🏼the goal of having good body image isn’t about getting your body the shape or size you dream of....body image is the perception that a person has of their physical self and the thoughts and feelings that result from that perception.. Body image doesn’t just get better if you get a “better body” - this can actually often exacerbate poor body image! . . It’s a relationship with your SELF. And relationships take time, take work, and are never going to be 100% perfect all of the time. . . Our goal with body image is to understand and know that we are going to have bad body image days, but it’s how we respond that matters. Changing our thoughts to be more neutral. Still giving your body the respect it deserves. . . #bodyimagework #dietitian #rdn #wellness #health #healthy #nutritiontherapist #intuitiveeating #haes #nondiet #healthyliving
  • 👋🏼 Hey y’all! I thought it might be fun to tell you a little bit about myself in case you’re new here, or just don’t know much about the face behind the name! 👩🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👩🏼‍⚕️I am a Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics from the University Of Georgia (go Dawgs! 🐶) and completed my supervised practice internship at Georgia Southern University. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐶🐱 I am an avid animal lover - currently have a Maine Coone cat named Clyde and a black lab pup named Willow. They are 100% my little children. I also have a weird obsession with goats... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚽️🏑I grew up playing soccer & field hockey and could always “eat whatever I wanted”. Then one day I developed severe GI Issues that caused me to have to quit sports. (Literally didn’t 💩 for 2 weeks) And it also caused me to feel puffy, bloated, stomach aches, exhaustion every time I ate, causing me to research nutrition and learned a lot. I’ve always loved connecting with others, which ultimately led me to my career wanting to help others in the field of nutrition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍕My favorite food will forever be pizza. With tons of mushrooms, garlic, and onion. (The holy shiitake pie from mellow mushroom wins 🥇 ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👰🏼I married my soulmate this past year - June 22, 2019. I am SO grateful to have such a wonderful, kind, supportive, and amazing person to spend my life with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎸🎺🎤 Live music is my thing - I’ve been to over 100 concerts in my life, and plan to go to hundreds more! My favorite bands include STS9, String cheese incident, pigeons playing ping pong, & John Mayer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍎 I have experience in the hospital setting (trauma, ICU, behavioral health, cardiac step down, surgical unit, etc.), Long term care and rehabilitation, Public Health, and Private Practice. I currently work for Simply Nutrition (PP) here in Columbia but also work with clients in Greenville and virtually. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏙I’m originally from Charlotte, NC and LOVE big cities! I could never live in the country. 👯‍♀️ . 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗢𝗨! ⬇️
  • You have an option. You don’t have to lose weight to be healthy. You don’t have to diet to be healthy. And you know what? Often this can make you less healthy! . . If you’re ready to quit dieting once and for all I’m here to guide you towards wellness without obsession, let’s do this. 🙌🏼 . . (And yes, calorie counting, cutting out food groups unless medically necessary, counting macros. having “cheat days”, and off limit foods is all dieting...) . . #nutrition #antidiet #nondiet #rdn #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #intuitiveeating #dietsdontwork #health #healthy #wellness #nutritioncounseling
  • 𝗠𝗼𝗺’𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 (+ Homemade Dressing) is now live on the blog! 🥗 . . Everyone needs a classic Caesar recipe in their repertoires - and this one is simply THE BEST. Trust me. Feel free to add roasted chickpeas or croutons if that’s your thing! I love topping mine with anchovies 🤤 Adds a hit if extra flavor and omega 3s! . . #healthyfood #yummyeats #caesarsalad #recipe #foodblog #dietitian #nutritionist #nutrition #dietitiansofinstagram #intuitiveeating #HAES #nondietrd #thefeedfeed #nutritiontherapist #nutritioncounseling #foodphotography
  • It’s okay if you prefer the healthier version of a food (I love a good crispy cauliflower pizza crust). But it’s also okay if you don’t prefer the healthier version, and want just some good ol’ regular pizza (sorry, but I just can’t stand vegan pizza, no thank you 🙅🏼‍♀️). You are not good or bad for choosing either, and both can fit into a healthy eating pattern! . . . #health #wellness #rdn #dietitian #allfoodsfit #healthy #intuitiveeating
  • Raw ‘oreo’-like cookies are fun to homemake and incredibly delicious! They also contain a little less sugar than storebought, so they tend to leave you feeling more energized without that sugar crash. Recipe can be found on the blog! 🍪 . . More tomorrow on ‘healthifying’ (is that a word?) foods — just know it’s totally okay to prefer the healthier version of foods. If they taste great to you, you don’t feel deprived, and you truly enjoy them (and your intention isn’t eating it just to try and shrink your body) then that’s great and it can absolutely be intuitive! But remember you don’t have to make every food “healthier” - all foods can fit into a healthy eating pattern which means cheese, pizza, and desserts too! But yes, our bodies may feel best with certain healthier items like more fiber, more protein, less sugar, etc. There is a place for all of these foods in our eating patterns. 🌱🥑🍪🍸🍕🍔🥒🥦 . . #health #wellness #rd #intuitiveeating #haes #plantbasedrecipe #yummyfood #healthyoreos #vegandessert #allfoodsfit
  • Only YOU know what satisfies you, how your body feels, and what’s going to fuel you. Sure I can give you general flexible frameworks that work for many people, the research, etc. but only YOU have the ability to listen to your body. I am here to guide you. . . . #health #wellness #dietitian #rdn #eathealthy #balancedplate #allfoodsfit #intuitiveeating #dietitiansofinstagram #haes #healthy #wellness #wellbeing
  • After the holidays, diet culture ramps up in the media. Praying on vulnerabilities. But in reality, you don’t need to do anything drastic. You don’t need to detox. Our bodies crave balance and homeostasis naturally, so simply get back to eating a variety of foods that make you feel good! It’s normal to eat a little less fruits and veggies during the holiday season and a bit more ‘fun’ foods - but our bodies are smart and tend to crave our normal, routine feel-good meals, too after a fun season. . So simply put, if you’re stressing post-holiday, focus on gentle nutrition. Adding in some greens when you can. Enjoying more whole fruits and veggies. Incorporating plant-based proteins. Drinking more water. Moving your body in ways that are enjoyable and fun for you. . . When we restrict foods, we wind up overthinking those foods, having negative/deprivation focused mindset, increasing the risk of disordered eating, and even MORE stress around food. We think we “need” this control, when in fact this causes more out of control feelings around food. . . So think of positive nutrition - what foods give you energy? What foods make you feel best? Focus on ADDING those in rather than taking away or “resetting” this new year. . . #dietitian #health #healthy #wellness #nutrition #balancednutrition #wellbeing #eatyourveggies #rdn #dietitiansofinstagram #dietsdontwork #intuitiveeating
  • Which one would you rather be? 💗 Here’s your permission slip from your Dietitian to NOT go on another diet this year. To get rid of food rules. To start on a path towards trusting your body (yes it’s possible!) . . We don’t have to have rigid food rules to make us healthy (in fact, this often causes us to be more UNhealthy). . . Focus on feeling good. Feeding your body regularly. Paying attention to hunger & fullness. Nurturing your hobbies, goals, and aspirations, not weight loss. . . #health #truewellness #nutrition #nourishment #rdn #nondiet #dietitian #HAES #dietsdoharm #intuitiveeating
