Nutrition Science M.S.
If you need me in the next 13 days, 1 hour, and 8 If you need me in the next 13 days, 1 hour, and 8 minutes, I’ll be right here.
⠀
I WILL dominate this licensing exam.
⠀
I will emerge a real clinician.

Me: I’m SO excited to be done with school. Also Me: I’m SO excited to be done with school.
Also me, 3 weeks after my finals:
In the last 2 weeks, I’ve eaten more veggies, le In the last 2 weeks, I’ve eaten more veggies, leafy greens, and legumes (beans & lentils) than any other period in my life. And that’s really saying something!

I have several clients I’ve put on a low-to-no starch dietary approach, so I’m doing it with them!
⠀
How can I guide nutrition clients through dietary protocols if I’ve never done them?
How can I give them a list of replacements without knowing how they taste?
How can I talk about quick breakfast options if I’ve never made them?
How can I give them a heads up about “there’s no options here!” situations that WILL come up?
⠀
That’s like giving parenting advice when I haven’t even babysat.
⠀
Today I made this plate and sent a photo to my clients showing them what’s possible in a 10 minute breakfast:
- Veggies leftover from yesterday’s’ dinner (baked curried cauliflower and fennel)
- Refried black beans (canned from Trader Joe’s)
- Shishito or any mild pepper pan seared in the same pan with
- 2 eggs (or tofu if egg-free)
⠀
I wouldn’t be able to recommend this meal and how well the flavors meld (it’s F’ing fantastic) if I didn’t mosey into my own kitchen and design a breakfast using the same no-starch parameters they have.
⠀
I’m so in love with what I do. I’m so honored when clients choose me to partner with. I’m so freaking excited to wrap up my Master’s program in 2 weeks and dive in even deeper!
⠀
P.S. This “no starch/slow carb” dietary approach is not because starchy foods are “unhealthy!” Let me repeat, STARCHES ARE PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
⠀
Rather, this approach tweaks specific mechanisms (blood sugar spikes and paired insulin response) and these individuals show a dramatic response to this tweak. With most of these clients, we tried at least 2 other approaches before this one because as a general rule I don’t like starting out by removing food groups.

Today is my birthday. And all I can think about is Today is my birthday. And all I can think about is this birthday, 10 years ago.
⠀
Ten years ago, I turned 21. It was the first birthday I spent with you.
⠀
You snuck all of my underage friends into a gay dance club (I was the first one to turn 21).
At the stroke of midnight, we rang in your birthday on the dance floor.
After hours we drank whiskey out of coffee cups.
You walked to 7-11 at 3am to get cake and 21 candles.
⠀
Teenage-hood had not been easy for me. That was the first birthday I’d ever felt so cared for.
I was enamored with you.
⠀
And here we are. Quicker than you can say “where did these gray hairs come from?!” this is the 10th birthday I get to celebrate with you.
⠀
No one ever told me getting older would be so damn wonderful.
⠀
P.S. I know you won’t even see this post, and if someone shows it to you, you’ll be completely uncomfortable. But I can’t help my overtly sentimental nature, and you know that about me.
