TY Ali Slaglefor the flavor and texture combinations with nutrient amplification. Fresh peaches, cucumber, seared halloumi , slivered almonds, lime juice, basil and mint leaves, cracked pepper and a splash of citrus vinegar. Summertime and the eating is easy. @nytcook.bsky.social
After the preparation, conversation and presentation it’s time for the unwind, replete and refresh with my mini- me enjoying the sights to see in DC. #glamparenting #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement
From apples to zucchini- celebration over vilification by adding produce to your smoothie, bowl, plate or as a snack is a great way to add color, flavor and texture combination with nutrient amplification. #rootforfruit #getyournutritioninfofromthosethatdoknow #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement
Rather than over- proteinization with the potential for other macro and micronutrient elimination let’s focus on the totality of the plate to maximize nutrients of need and minimize insufficiencies. American Society for Nutrition #Nutrition2026 #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement

With the twelve hour time difference in Singapore; writing deadlines and upcoming presentations- I am all about caffeination. Coffee-the pour that does more and allows ideas to percolate so I can create. #caffeinequeen #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement
#client TY @thinkusadairy for the opportunity to create video content on #insightinthebites &#scienceinthesips. Personalizing protein quantity, quality, it’s not just what we DIGEST but what we INGEST &the importance of #traditionandintuitioninproteinnutrition to resonate with relevance #Singapore
The proteinization of our nation has us mired in the minutia, uni- nutrient focus and increased likelihood of unnecessary carbohydrate , fiber and micronutrient minimization when the sole focus is protein maximization. We need all the nutrients- not some to create a #greatplate @womenshealth
#foodpolice? Why a uniform to inform when it comes to eating? Maybe a better strategy is to utilize registered dietitians who bring the intuition &tradition in the kitchen to nutrition. To educate, motivate ,resonate -we must consider affordability, availability, accessibility &culinary ability.
TY @Addisonaloian for letting me “whey” in along with @danawhite for your @womenshealth article on high protein snacks that stack up that deliver on nutritional value as well as those that deserve a smackdown. #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement www.womenshealthmag.com/food/a715374...

TY @SNIGlobal for the opportunity to bring the sports dietitian’s intuition as to why seed oil elimination doesn’t equal performance optimization! Being a professional athlete does not guarantee one is healthy. My goal is implementation of recommendations that are proactive, preventative, protective

Happy Father’s Day! My heart is so glad when I look at these dads! Cheers to all the fathers who have guided us, protected us, supported us and cheered us. To those who are no longer here we miss you, we remember you, we love you and to the dads currently in our lives we celebrate and honor you.
Filling my cup with news that lifts me up. A registered dietitian who champions scientific integrity and does not shy Away from calling out the nonsense, and a presidential center that embraces inclusion for ALL- not SOME and insistence on a fight for what is right #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement
