How to Make Better Smoothies
Soooooo many of my clients drink smoothies for breakfast, but they’re doing it wrong. If you’re only adding almond milk, kale and a bunch of fruit it’s really just a cup o’ carbs.

My Favorite Beauty Products
In general, I’m super careful about what I put in my body and equally as careful about what I put on it. And when I’m pregnant I’m an absolute psycho about it. Sulfates and parabens (chemicals in a lot of products) aren’t proven safe and have actually been associated with birth defects in animal studies. I also read about a link to learning disabilities in toddlers whose moms used chemical-laden products during pregnancy. With food and beauty, if there’s ANY question that something isn’t safe, I won’t touch it. That said, after being pregnant, nursing or both for the past…
View Post35 Paleo Cookie Recipes for Easter
By Julianna Pacinhik When I think about Easter cookies a few things come to mind. Bunny cutouts for sure, but also certain flavors of spring like carrot cake, citrus, coconut and chocolate (always chocolate). Cookies are an easy dessert that doesn’t have to be formal. You can have several different flavors to please a variety of guests. I always look forward to carrot cake and lemon desserts! There are an incredible amount of grain and refined sugar free options, its time to make holidays a little healthier! Easter cutouts and Nests Easter Basket Cookies (aip/paleo) Paleo Peeps (Raspberry and coconut lemon) Paleo…
View PostHow I Manage Pregnancy Weight Gain
I had three babies in less than three years. I gained 27 pounds with my first, 25 with my second and 22 with my third. Here’s how I did it… I don’t f$#! around I take nutrition very seriously (duh, I’m an RD), but when I’m pregnant I’m borderline psycho about it. I’m growing a PERSON. Everything I do affects their entire lives. That’s a gigantic responsibility. I’m conscious of every bite I take, every ingredient in the products I consume and I certainly don’t use pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever I want. Quite the opposite, actually. I eat…
View PostMy Halloween Candy Plan
Yesterday a fellow mom reached out to ask how I deal with Halloween candy in my house since I’m a known anti-candy fanatic. Here’s what she asked and here are my answers: Do you let your kids eat the Halloween candy? Yep. It’s once a year so I don’t stress too much about it. I do try to slow them down, though, particularly when they first get home from trick-or-treating because we’re inching close to bedtime and I don’t want sugar interfering with their sleep (because it will). Once 5PM hits, they’re done for the day; we’ll have dinner (which…
View PostNewborn Tips From a Mother of Three
After three newborns and countless compliments on “how well I’m doing,” (who knew!?) I figure I must be doing something right and my newfound knowledge is probably worth sharing. Obviously these tips are what I did and what worked for me so they may not all work for you, but they’re certainly worth a try since we have a three for three batting average. And of course there are a thousand other things I could talk about (like… WTF to do with the cord stump, circumcisions, baths, etc.), but these six are the big ones so I’ll start here. 1.…
View PostHow to Get More Willpower
If you’re convinced you’re not losing weight because you can’t control yourself in the presence of cupcakes or anywhere near a kitchen after dinner you’re probably just doing it wrong.
