This article was a labor of love. When I write about #guthealth and #probiotics, I want to share alllll the info because there are so many nuances about this topic (plus we learn more every day). Thanks so much to Sabrina Tillman for making the writing better with your careful editing eye and my brilliant RD colleagues Kim Kulp, RDN, Kaytee Hadley MSc, RDN, IFMCP, CPT, Amanda Sauceda, RDN, and Alyssa Simpson, RDN for your helpful input.

??IT’S LIVE ?? Thrilled to share the launch of our new Dietitian Services Platform—a product I’m incredibly proud to support.

For me, this is also a nod to the critical role dietitians play in optimizing athlete performance.

"WRITE IT, YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT" Last year, I felt a nudge to update my social media profiles to include Nutrition Educator. From Instagram to LinkedIn, I made the change. It wasn’t a stretch for me—educating others about health and nutrition, formally or informally, has always been second nature. Fast forward to today, and I can confidently say, I am truly an educator. Beyond enlightening people on my social media platforms and in conversations, I’ve taken on a new role as a lecturer, teaching and mentoring students to become certified nutritionists and dietitians. If you know me, you know I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and making an impact. This opportunity aligns perfectly with my purpose, and I am beyond elated to step into this new chapter. Here’s to growth, purpose, and creating meaningful impact! #nutritioneducator #educator #diet #nutrition #Globalnutritionadvocate #impactingknowledge Plus: I should take more pictures

My journey to founding NutriXQ is deeply personal. At 14, I embarked on my first diet, kickstarting years of trying every eating trend imaginable. Even nutrition school couldn't break this cycle. I fell into a pattern of binge eating followed by extreme exercise and calorie restriction. It took a near-death experience with a DVT and pulmonary embolism to shake me awake. As I recovered, I began to appreciate my body for its resilience. But the journey wasn't over. Doctors warned me that genetic mutations that caused the blood clots might make pregnancy difficult or impossible. Despite occasional struggles with body image, I persevered. Then, defying all odds, I became pregnant easily - twice! Two smooth pregnancies, two healthy babies, born naturally. My body, which I had doubted for so long, performed miracles. This experience was my epiphany: Our bodies are truly amazing! As a nutritionist and scientist who's studied metabolism extensively, I realized I had been a victim of toxic diet culture. Now, as a mother to a daughter, I'm determined to break this cycle. That's why I founded NutriXQ. I envision a world where children learn to nourish their bodies and minds from an early age. Where we don't need health scares or life-changing events to appreciate our bodies. NutriXQ is my contribution to building this world. It's a platform for nutrition education for all ages, because it's not about societal standards - it's about our health, our lives, and our happiness. If you believe in this vision, follow NutriXQ. Share our message. Let's revolutionize how we think about nutrition and body image, one person at a time. Together, we can create a healthier, happier future for generations to come. P.S.: This Friday, we're launching the NutriXQ Newsletter - your weekly dose of inspiration, practical tips, and cutting-edge nutritional insights.
