Let me preface this article with an emphasis on the word ‘brief.’ The complexities of sugar, oil and salt on your body are both different depending on the individual, and beyond my minimal degree of professional knowledge. On that note, please do know that what I say is based on personal research and experience. I […]
As nerdy as I may sound–and as much as I may regret admitting this publicly–I’m addicted to documentaries. Like most kids, I grew up associating the word ‘documentary’ with those incredibly dry and over-dramatic films that you’d watch in class about medieval castles or the lifestyle of frogs. And this can certainly be the case, […]

With all the food fads, guidelines and perceived social norms it’s almost impossible to keep track of what is actually worthwhile. High-this, low-that, no-this, yes-that. It’s exhausting! I personally try not to overthink my food choices but being on social media has alerted me to certain random “rules” that I naturally don’t follow. I’m not an RD or […]

But I always seem to feel overly bloated, uncomfortable, guilty, and not-at-all confident after eating them. The problem? I had to find a way to still […]
