Some of the first comments I get offered when anyone finds out I’m a dietitian are “how do I know if I have a gluten sensitivity?” or “why have I been so bloated lately?”. My response is generally: “I need a lot more information.” As a practitioner, I like the idea of an elimination diet
Looking for a quick and delish salad recipe that you can whip in under 5 minutes? You’re in for a healthy, refreshing treat! For starters, this simple summer salad recipe combines ingredients jam packed with water—cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes boast between 93-96% of water content.

“I have been obsessed with turmeric, adding it to my smoothies and drinking it in hot tea,” says chef Carla Contreras. “When I thought of making my own pumpkin pie spice, I thought of turmeric’s warming quality and how well it goes with the warming spices.” Turmeric does a few things for pumpkin spice. First, it makes it prettier, transforming it into what she calls “golden-ish” pumpkin spice. (Sounds like Instagram gold, right?) It also adds a little heat to the flavor. Finally, it of course provides a dose of anti-inflammatory, health-boosting magic. Sprinkle it in plain Greek yogurt, granola, or chia pudding, whip it into butter, or toss it on your sweet potato fries before they go into the oven.

When it comes to striking a balance between having the body you want and oh, that thing we call enjoying life, many people get stuck in a conundrum: how to become (or stay) slim and still have F-U-N. One of the reasons so many people end up being yo yo dieters is because they feel they have to

Many of us are trying out new things on the regular with the hopes of calming ourselves before bed and getting a sounder night's rest. We turned off our electronics 30 minutes before bed, we dimmed the lights, stopped sipping coffee after noon, and even sprayed our pillows with lavender. But, some of us are
