Clean Eating

When it comes to losing weight, the messaging is often centered around one thing: cutting back- eat fewer calories, cut carbs, skip dessert, shrink your portions. But what if your weight-loss strategy needs a little less taking away and a little more adding in? No, we’re not saying you can eat unlimited amounts of anything […]

Fiber might not have the flashy appeal of protein. But when it comes to your health, fiber is definitely an overachiever. It promotes healthy digestion and regularity, helps manage blood sugar, can support weight management, and improves blood pressure and cholesterol (spelling good news for your long-term heart health). The problem? The vast majority of […]

Summer has a way of changing how we eat. When temperatures climb, and we find ourselves spending more time out in the blazing sun, it’s common to choose fresh fruit over heavy meals or to forget about lunch until late afternoon. Between backyard barbecues, beach days, vacations, and long afternoons outside, eating schedules can become […]

If you’ve started a GLP-1 medication and suddenly can’t finish a meal, or find yourself forgetting to eat altogether, you’re not alone. Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound are designed to curb appetite and slow digestion, helping you feel fuller for longer. But while eating less can support weight loss, it also means you have […]

Pasta salad is one of those foods that just gets summer. The backyard BBQs, the picnic blankets, the paper plates, it’s nostalgic, it’s crowd-pleasing, and honestly, it never gets old. As a dietitian, I’m also here to tell you that it can be so much more than a side-dish afterthought. This chickpea pasta pesto recipe […]

Some produce items practically scream ‘healthy.’ Kale? Obviously. Blueberries? Sure. Peaches, though, might make you think twice. Given that they’re so juicy and candy-sweet, it’s easy to assume that they can’t possibly be that good for you… especially if you bite into them daily with reckless abandon every summer. That said, we had to ask […]

There’s something about summer that can throw off your usual appetite and eating patterns. Maybe your go-to savory breakfast suddenly sounds heavy, or the thought of a big lunch in 90-degree heat seems deeply unappealing. Instead, you might look forward to enjoying lighter fare—say, an iced coffee, juicy slice of watermelon, or whatever cold snack […]

Summer is soon upon us, and some of us might be rethinking our routines so we can throw on last year’s bikini without having a full-blown meltdown. If you feel like your diet and workout routine isn’t fully dialed in, there’s no better time than today to start making progress. Before you shudder at the […]

If you’ve ever looked at another plate of eggs and thought, “I genuinely can’t do this again”, you’re not alone. Eggs are great, but they’re not the only way to hit your protein goals. And more importantly, they’re often not enough on their own. Two eggs provide about 12 grams of protein, which is a […]

How you fuel your morning can shape your energy for the rest of the day. While it’s tempting to grab something quick or rely solely on coffee, a balanced breakfast provides steady, long-lasting energy that supports focus, mood, and productivity. After fasting overnight, your body needs a variety of nutrients to replenish energy and stabilize […]

Magnesium doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it plays a major role in how your body functions, from supporting muscle and nerve health to helping regulate blood sugar and energy production. The catch? Many people aren’t getting enough of it. The good news is that boosting your magnesium intake doesn’t require complicated recipes or hard-to-find […]

We’ve all been there: the afternoon slump hits, your focus disappears, and suddenly another cup of coffee feels like the only solution. But while caffeine can give you a quick lift, sustainable energy is about much more than your morning brew. On a recent episode of the Well Yes podcast from HUM Nutrition, co-founder Walter and […]
