About Me!

Mom to 2.5 year old boy/girl twins & a furchild named Ralph

Hobbies include: brunch, traveling to new places, fruity beer, concerts, seasonal food & beverages, listening to nerdy books on Audible, & taking naps with the dog.

Nutrition philosophies:

Any “diet” or way of eating that removes a macronutrient group is not healthy or good for your body or brain

Restriction never helped anyone achieve their health goals

Weight is NOT the only measure of health, and is often not the best or most accurate one

Carbs are delicious, necessary and useful for adequate brain function
