When you're standing in front of the meat case at the store, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Grass-fed, organic, grain-finished, pasture-raised, lean… and then there are all the labels: no hormones, antibiotic-free, natural. It’s no wonder clients often ask me, “What kind of beef should I buy?”

If you’ve ever felt tired, sluggish, or just “off” without knowing why, your diet could be the culprit. Nutrition isn’t just about the food you eat. It’s about how it fuels, nurtures, and supports your body every day. Let’s explore how to tell whether your current habits are helping or hurting your well-being.

Have you been all gung-ho on changing your diet, eating healthier, and ready to FINALLY lose the extra weight you’ve been carrying around only to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what the heck you want to eat, making lists of meals, groceries, and spending all day Sunday making a mess out of your kitchen only to have to end up exhausted and dreading having to do it all again next week?

Plant-Based, Paleo, Keto, or Mediterranean- which diet should I follow? I get asked this question all the time!

With so many diets floating around, it’s easy to feel confused or overwhelmed. How do you even know which one is right for you?

We all love sugar, but it’s anything but kind to your body. In fact, it’s destroying your cells, fueling disease, and wreaking havoc on your health in ways many of us don't even realize. From messing with your blood sugar to damaging your gut and brain, the constant intake of sugar is more than just a harmless indulgence. If you’ve ever struggled with sugar cravings or experienced the highs and crashes that follow a sugar binge, you know just how powerful this addictive substance can be. But there is good news: detoxing from sugar can reset your mind, body, and ultimately restore your health. Here’s how it works, why it’s necessary, and how you can do it successfully.

If you’ve been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, you know how challenging it can be to manage symptoms and maintain your quality of life. You are likely familiar with the flare-ups, stomach pain, trouble in the bathroom, and maybe your evening suffering from fatigue, brain fog, and malnutrition.  IBD can seriously take a toll on your physical and emotional well-being. Here’s how you can begin managing IBD with diet.

We’ve all heard the saying, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” But have you ever truly stopped to think about what that means in terms of your health and well-being? When it comes to living our best lives, we often put our families, jobs, and obligations first, and our own well-being last. We think we’re doing the right thing by sacrificing our own needs. But here’s the truth—if you’re not taking care of yourself, you can’t be the best version of yourself for anyone else.

We’ve been told that eating fat makes us fat for years.  But what if I told you that this popular belief might not be entirely true?

When it comes to supporting your overall health, fiber is an essential nutrient – and it’s often overlooked.

Sometimes we struggle to start something new or we procrastinate on our goals because we’re afraid of doing it wrong. But here’s what I’ve realized: there’s no “wrong” way—only opportunities to learn and grow.

I was able to identify this all quickly by asking just a few simple questions and having a real conversation. This is a perfect example of what a pharmacist can do that AI simply can’t. Real, person-to-person conversation and interaction matters.

My pharmacist brain started wondering, “I wonder if she started any new medications recently?” I shot her a quick text, and sure enough—she’d recently started a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a medication commonly used to help with symptoms of acid reflux or GERD, in December.  Viola! The medication she was prescribed can directly inhibit iron absorption. Of course, no one had told her that!

Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or an omnivore, there are plenty of easy ways to increase your protein intake without complicating your meals. In this post, we’ll share simple tips and strategies to help you get more protein throughout your day.

Protein is one of the essential macronutrients our bodies rely on for overall health. Not only does it help build and repair tissues, but it also plays a key role in supporting muscle mass, bone health, and immune function.

Meal prepping is one of the best ways to set yourself up for a healthy, stress-free week. It can save you time and money while also helping you stay on track with your health goals.

Managing stress doesn’t require drastic changes, but rather small, consistent efforts that can make a big difference over time.

As a pharmacist, I’ve seen so many people diagnosed with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and endocrine disorders, prescribed medication to manage symptoms—but the root cause is rarely addressed.
