Fall is usually one of my favorite seasons – back to school, back to routine. But this year like many of you I have found myself searching for comfort in response to the horrific events occurring in our world today. Pair these emotions with the endless availability of holiday treats, Halloween candy, pumpkin spice everything, and apple cider donuts and …
All the flavor you crave without the sugar, flour, and fillers. What makes these perfect is the pumpkin and pumpkin spice seasoning. Pair that with almond butter and you get the picture. Warm, naturally sweet, and good for you too. Recipe: Directions: I wanted to share with you the recipe for my pumpkin muffins. They are delicious and so much healthier for …
I love Dr. Gabrielle Lyons, but I don’t agree collagen has a protein score of zero. Yes, I understand why she says this because it’s lacking an essential amino acid: tryptophan. But here’s the good news, you can easily make an incomplete protein into a complete protein by consuming foods that contain the missing amino acid(s) at any point in …
When it comes to eating organic fruits and vegetables, if you can afford it, it is very important to buy certain things that are organic. Those are usually the things that are heavily sprayed that often contain a lot of water and don’t have thick skin… think berries, peaches, apples, these are really heavily sprayed.

So, I posted a video that got more than 60,000 views on TikTok last week! This one I’m not just telling you this because it makes me look really cool to my teenage boys, it’s because clearly, this topic hit a nerve. Should you eat before going out to eat? Yes, you should! A small snack of protein and fiber …
When it comes to supplements, everybody’s really individualized and based on how much nutrition you have in your diet. What I usually recommend for my clients is most people don’t eat enough seafood, so, therefore, they’re low in omega-3s. There are two different types of omega-3s that you can buy…some come from fish, but some now come from algae, and …
They may feel totally “80’s” but I bet they have more uses than you’ve considered. They have an awesome crunch, are gluten-free, and are low in calories. Avocado toast on a rice cake? Yum, pass the sea salt, please! Lox & cream cheese? It’s one way to avoid the NYC bagel calorie bombs I recently spoke of. And easy alternative …
I’m a registered dietitian living and working in New York City. A lot of people ask me if deli meat is a healthy food to incorporate. I said that it is but I prefer for you to get organic.
