As we wrap up the semester and head into New England's Winter, posts like this feel especially important. Winter can make healthy habits harder, and this is such a good reminder that self-kindness and small routines matter just as much as nutrition itself. Stay warm! @beh353 #beh353 ❄️

As a future health provider, I plan to meet patients where they are by encouraging small, realistic nutrition changes. Not every diet has to be intense on day one. Sustainable health comes from gradual, everyday steps. @beh353 #beh353 ⚖️🍎🫶

This really sums up everything we’ve learned this semester. Health isn’t about perfection or one specific goal; it’s about daily choices and balance. Such a great reminder to wrap up the semester, and something I’ll definitely carry with me into my future. 💚✨🥑⚖️ @beh353 #beh353

Thanksgiving fav = mashed potatoes, forever and always 🥔✨ Simple but unbeatable. Ingredients: Creamy Yukon Golds, butter, a splash of milk, roasted garlic, salt, pepper… whipped smooth. Proof that basic ≠ boring. Gravy is optional, but encouraged. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 @beh353 #beh353

This is a great reminder of how interconnected the body really is. Gut health plays a central role in digestion, immunity, mental well-being, and even metabolic balance. Prioritizing a healthy microbiome truly supports overall health in a meaningful way. 💪 @beh353 #beh353

Sharing this CDC article for parents because it’s clear, evidence-based, and super easy to follow. The tips are realistic for real families, and I love that it focuses on starting healthy habits early since those shape lifelong health and build a foundation for your child's future. 🍎 @beh353 #beh353

This fits so well with what we’ve been learning. I love this reminder that hunger isn’t just about willpower. Protein, fiber, sleep, hydration, and mindful eating all play a role. It’s cool how small habits can make a huge difference long-term. Sustainable > restrictive 🔁 @beh353 #beh353 🍎💤

Tom’s story reminded me that progress isn’t about perfection but consistency. His “pillar meal” idea showed me how routines can beat motivation. With future clients, I’d focus on small sustainable habits instead of strict, all-or-nothing plans. Balance and moderation are key ⚖️ @beh353 #beh353

Between early gym mornings, full-time classes, and long pharmacy shifts, cooking is the last thing I have energy for. I want to eat healthy, but most days I grab quick snacks between shifts. Time feels like the biggest barrier to eating well #beh353 @beh353 there's not enough hours in a day 🥲

The shaky science behind trendy ‘super greens’ powders
An occasional scoop of these crushed-up vegetables likely won’t do any harm. But experts say the benefits of these supplements are far from proven.

Currently looking into the Raw Food Diet 🌱 It seems healthy at first, but cutting out cooked foods might backfire since cooking boosts some nutrients (like lycopene in tomatoes 🍅). Makes me question if this is really sustainable or just another hype diet 🤔 @beh353 #beh353 🥑

This is such a helpful reminder that sugar cravings aren’t just about lack of willpower. Things like low sleep, stress, gut health, or not eating enough protein/fiber all play a role! Addressing the root cause instead of just fighting the craving makes healthy choices way easier! 🍪💤 @beh353 #beh353

As a vegetarian, my go-to Chipotle order is a burrito bowl! I make it more nutrient-dense by swapping the meat for extra black beans for protein + fiber, loading up on guac, veggies, corn salsa, and lettuce. Same flavor, way more nutrients. Healthy eating doesn't have to be bland! 🥑 @beh353 #beh353

This chart really stood out to me! I’ve been trying to prioritize around 9 hrs a night because I can feel the difference when I don’t, especially at work in the AM.

Fiber isn’t digested like other nutrients; It slows sugar spikes, lowers cholesterol, and keeps you full. It also feeds gut bacteria for immunity and mood. Yet most Americans eat way less than the daily recommendation, making fiber a super overlooked nutrient. Total wake-up call! @beh353 #beh353 🥦

This caught my attention since it takes the emphasis off of limitation or guilt! Size is only one aspect of health; another is how food provides energy and promotes long-term health. The number on the scale does not define YOU. There are so many factors that go into overall health. @beh353 #beh353 🥑
Instead of focusing on weight, it emphasizes sustainable habits that nourish your body and mind. This approach encourages paying attention to how different foods support your energy, focus, and overall wellness-without strict rules or guilt.
