Propaganda I’m not falling for 👇 We all have different goals, values, and experiences — and that’s great. In a world full of wellness noise, I’ve learned to question everything and take a deeper look at trends before following or recommending them to others. I believe any step you take toward better health is a win. Any swap you make away from the Standard American lifestyle is a step in the right direction. You don’t need to go from 0 to 100 to make a difference. The best thing we can do for ourselves and our families? Avoid what’s trending. Instead, pursue a lifestyle that’s healthy, realistic, and sustainable… for the long haul. That’s exactly what I help you do in my 1:1 programs. We take a root-cause approach to healing that’s backed by data, customized to your life, and designed for lasting change. Ready to feel like yourself again?

Best title I’ve ever had. Being his mom is the greatest gift and my biggest motivation to care for my body, mind, and spirit. Motherhood is the most beautiful journey I’ve ever embarked on. It’s also the most physical, nonstop, and some days, overwhelming. But even on the hard days, I know this is exactly where I’m meant to be. The most important job I’ll ever have. And he’s the most important reason I stay committed to feeling my best, so I can show up every day with presence, patience, and endless love. He inspires me to be more intentional, more clear on what truly matters, and to fiercely protect our peace — because it’s all wellness. To all the mamas out there, Happy Mother’s Day.

What do our functional labs actually tell us — and why do they matter? ⁠ In functional health, we don’t just treat symptoms. We ask why they’re happening in the first place.⁠ ⁠ These functional labs help us uncover that root cause and build health from the inside out. ⁠ 👉 Is there something going on in your gut? 👉 Are high or low stress hormones impacting sleep or energy? 👉 Are you reacting to foods that are keeping inflammation high? ⁠ Each lab gives us a piece of your body’s story. When we look at them together, we can personalize your healing plan — and support your body in restoring balance, naturally.⁠ This is how we build long-term, sustainable health. ⁠ Curious about running labs or wondering where to start?

You deserve to feel good again. You deserve to understand what’s happening inside your body. You deserve real healing — not just another bandaid. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start healing, book your free discovery call and let’s chat! I have one spot available to start this May. 🤍 . . . #FunctionalHealth #RootCauseHealing #FDN #HolisticHealth #HealthJourney

You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support. You just need to be tired of not feeling like you. There’s a wide gap between being “fine” and being well. Between “your labs look normal” and waking up with energy, clear focus, good digestion, balanced mood, and true vitality. Most of us are stuck somewhere in the middle — and conventional care isn’t built to help with that. That’s where functional health steps in. We look upstream. We get curious. We support the body rather than suppress symptoms. Because your symptoms aren’t random. They’re signals. And you deserve someone who listens. If you’re ready to get to the root and feel like yourself again, I’d love to support you. 💻 Link in bio to learn more 💬 Or send me a DM — I’m always happy to chat. . . . #fdnp #functionalhealth #rootcause #holistichealth #healthoptimization #nontoxicliving #fdnpractitioner

You deserve to feel good in your body — not just “get by.” 
If you’ve been told your symptoms are “normal”… if your GI issues, acne, fatigue, or cycle problems keep getting brushed off… if you’re tired of throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks — I’ve opened 1:1 spots just for you. Introducing two ways to work together: — A 90-day deep dive for those ready to get to the root
— A 6-week reset for those dipping their toes into functional health 📝 Applications are now open. Link in bio to learn more and apply. 💛 And if you’re not ready to invest at this level — I see you. That’s why I’m working on a lower-cost, self-paced program launching later this spring: no labs, no 1:1s, just the core foundations to get back to the basics and start healing. Your health is yours. You get to choose what step comes next — I’m just honored to be part of your journey, wherever you are. . . . #FunctionalHealth #RootCauseHealing #WomensHealthMatters #GutHealthSupport #HormoneBalance #CycleHealth #BloatRelief #TiredButWired #FDNP #FunctionalNutrition #NutritionCoach #1on1Coaching #WellnessSupport #DRESSProtocol #IntegrativeHealth #NaturalHealing #HolisticHealthJourney #HealingFromTheInsideOut #OneBiteToWellness #HealthIsWealth #ChronicSymptoms #ItsNotAllInYourHead #HealthOptimization #WellnessPrograms #ResetYourHealth #YourHealthYourWay

Supplements aren’t a magic fix — but they can be a powerful tool when used intentionally. They’re the last pillar of the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® framework for a reason: we need to focus on the foundations first — diet, rest, exercise, and stress management. From there, supplements can help fill in the gaps, support key systems, and target specific imbalances. But not all supplements are created equal — and taking the wrong ones (or too many) can do more harm than good. That’s why I use a personalized and targeted approach based on your symptoms, history, and functional lab work — not what’s trending on TikTok. Want in? I’m opening spots to my waitlist today and to the public on Friday — check the link in bio to learn more, and keep your eyes peeled for access later this week. P.S. stay tuned for a full breakdown of the signature labs I use to help clients heal from the inside out. . . . #FunctionalHealth #SupplementSupport #RootCauseHealing #FDNPractitioner #HolisticWellness #TargetedSupplements #HealthJourney

Let’s be real — we (unfortunately) can’t eliminate stress. We can’t just quit our jobs, erase financial worries, or avoid tough seasons like caring for a sick family member or grieving a loss. Some stress is simply part of being human. But we aren’t meant to live in a constant state of stress — yet so many people are in this day and age. It’s not always the big life events that wear us down, it’s the day-to-day overwhelm, the go-go-go pace, and the pressure to push through. That’s where stress management really matters. It’s not about pretending everything is fine — it’s about building resilience, supporting your body through internal stressors, and finding ways to regulate your nervous system so you’re not stuck in survival mode. Stress will always exist. But you don’t have to live with it 24/7. Next up: the final pillar of DRESS, supplements — how they can support your health journey and when they may be beneficial. . . . #RootCauseHealing #StressManagement #FunctionalHealth #HolisticWellness #FDNPractitioner #NervousSystemSupport

Expanding on my post on exercise from yesterday… because this is the part we don’t always see. You won’t magically find the time. Or suddenly wake up feeling motivated. Especially in motherhood — life is full. But your health matters. Movement doesn’t need to be perfect to count. It doesn’t have to happen at 6am, in a group fitness class, or in a matching set. It can look like 20 minutes in your basement, toys everywhere, toddler on your mat. (Hint: that’s what most workouts look like for me these days). Because the goal isn’t perfection — it’s consistency. And taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s how you show up with more energy and more patience. This season might look different than the last, but that doesn’t mean you stop showing up — you just pivot. . . . #MomLife #ImperfectProgress #PrioritizeYou #MovementMatters #PostpartumWellness #OneBiteToWellness #HealthyMoms #FunctionalHealth #RealLifeFitness

Let’s talk about movement — not for how it makes you look, but for how it makes you feel. Exercise supports nearly every system in the body: hormones, digestion, sleep, mood, energy, blood sugar, immunity, detox pathways — the list goes on. The best kind of movement? A balanced mix of resistance training, cardio, HIIT, and mobility work — but more importantly, something you enjoy and can sustain. Because fitness is forever, not a 6-week challenge. Overexercising is just as disruptive as underexercising. If your nervous system is fried or your cortisol is dysregulated, high-intensity workouts can do more harm than good. In those seasons, restorative movement is often the most productive thing you can do. My goal is to help you build a movement routine that meets your body where it’s at, supports overall health and healing, and evolves as your energy and resilience grow. Swipe through for more on how I approach exercise from a functional perspective — and how we’ll personalize your movement plan inside my programs. . . . #FunctionalHealth #RootCauseHealing #ExerciseForHealth #FDNPractitioner #HolisticWellness #HormoneBalance #MovementMatters #CortisolBalance

Let’s talk about rest — one of the most underrated and overlooked pillars of health. As a new mom, I know how hard it can be to prioritize rest. Sleep is interrupted, nights can be unpredictable, and “rest” often feels like a luxury. But here’s the truth: we can’t truly support healing or optimal health without it. That’s why, as part of your personalized protocol, rest is one of the five foundational pillars I work on with every client. And while the basics of healthy sleep are important, it’s never a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll take a look at your current sleep habits, explore simple changes to improve your sleep environment and rhythm, and—if you’re using any wearable tech like an Oura ring—we can even incorporate that data (totally optional!) to gain deeper insight. And just to be clear: if you’re not sleeping, I’m not going to encourage you to hit the gym at 5am. We’ll work with your lifestyle, in this season, and build sustainable strategies that support your body where it’s at in every category of DRESS. . . . #restisproductive #fdnp #functionaldiagnosticnutrition #holistichealth #rootcausehealing #momlifehealth #sleephealth #hormonehealth #guthealth #healthymama #bettersleep #circadianrhythm #wellnessjourney #healingfromwithin #nontoxicliving #sleepasmedicine

When it comes to health, diet is truly foundational. You can’t out-supplement or out-exercise poor nutrition, and quick fixes won’t get you very far. But this isn’t about cutting calories or jumping on the latest trend. It’s about giving your body the fuel it needs to thrive. By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and identifying the stressors that may be impacting your health (like food sensitivities, inflammatory ingredients, or poor-quality foods), we can help your body heal while creating lasting change. Your diet should work for you, not against you. That’s why as an FDNP, I look at all of a client: their goals and lifestyle, test results, and unique metabolic type to personalize their nutrition to support optimal energy, overall health & digestion, and well-being. This is just the beginning! Next up, we’ll dive into how rest impacts your health and why it’s just as essential as diet. . . . #FunctionalHealth #RootCauseHealing #NutritionMatters #FDNPractitioner #HolisticWellness #MetabolicHealth #WholeBodyHealing

Feeling like something’s off, but “everything’s normal”? You’re not alone. As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, I take a whole-body approach to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Instead of chasing symptoms or relying on temporary fixes, we’ll look at patterns, root causes, and hidden stressors using functional lab tests to promote whole-body healing. From there, I’ll create a personalized D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® protocol that focuses on five key pillars: diet, rest, exercise, stress management, and supplements. Because your health isn’t just about what’s “wrong” or diagnosable — it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to heal. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the cycle of symptom management, I’m here to help. Stay tuned as I break down each pillar in the coming weeks. 💛 . . . #FunctionalHealth #RootCauseHealing #FDNPractitioner #HolisticHealth #WellnessJourney #HealthAdvocate #NaturalWellness #HealthyLiving

Annie Harriman, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner 💛 I’m so proud to share that I’ve officially graduated from FDN and am now a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner! Every nap time since June has been dedicated to studying, learning, and growing. There have been so many late nights and weekends spent preparing for each practical, and putting the finishing touches on my written exam. I poured my heart into this journey, and I’m so excited to finally say — I did it. Becoming an FDN-P is more than just a certification for me — it’s a reflection of my passion for health and my desire to help others feel their best. I’ve always been fascinated by the power of nutrition and how it impacts our overall well-being. I even considered becoming a Registered Dietitian in college but realized that path didn’t align with my values. After navigating my own health journey and learning just how transformative a root-cause approach can be, I knew I wanted to empower others to do the same. I know with certainty — this is what I’m meant to do. As an FDN-P, I’ll be offering a personalized approach to wellness taking a whole-body approach and using functional lab testing to develop a personalized, comprehensive plan that addresses the pillars of health — diet, rest, exercise, stress management, and supplementation. It’s not about chasing symptoms, but about looking at the whole self and supporting your body’s natural ability to heal. Whether you’re dealing with low energy, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or just want to feel like your best self again, I’m here to help. I’m so excited to walk alongside others on their health journeys and share the tools that have changed my own life. Stay tuned — over the next two weeks, I’ll be sharing more about how I’ll be working with clients and the powerful insights a whole-body approach with functional lab testing can provide about your health! 💛 If you’re ready to take a deeper look at your health, join my waitlist at the link in my bio.

balance and consistency > perfection (part ii) I feed my son the same foods we eat… but we still use organic pouches and puffs when we’re on the go. I prioritize organic & grass-fed foods… but I’m not perfect about it when dining out (and we cook most meals at home). We use glass & stainless cups at home… but sometimes plastic is just more practical. It’s all about finding the balance that works for us personally! These are some of the little choices I make to stay aligned with my values, even when life doesn’t go perfectly. 💛 . . . #WellnessJourney #BalancedLiving #ProgressNotPerfection #HolisticHealth #HealthyLifestyle #RealLifeWellness #MindfulLiving #HealthyChoices #NonToxicLiving #NourishYourBody #ModerationNotDeprivation #WellnessWithoutObsession #FunctionalNutrition #IntuitiveLiving #HealthyBalance

balance and consistency > perfection I prioritize nutrient-dense meals—but also lived on everything bagels in my first trimester. I don’t drink alcohol—but I’ll never say no to an ice cream run. We celebrate birthdays with cake and ice cream—but I made my son a healthier smash cake since we’re waiting on added sugar. I try to avoid plastic in our home—but I’m currently using plastic cutting boards until I find the perfect wooden replacement. It’s SO easy to get caught up in the all or nothing mindset, but real life doesn’t work that way. I focus on making choices that align with my values most of the time, while also giving myself grace along the way. 💛 . . . #WellnessJourney #BalancedLiving #ProgressNotPerfection #HolisticHealth #HealthyLifestyle #RealLifeWellness #MindfulLiving #HealthyChoices #NonToxicLiving #NourishYourBody #ModerationNotDeprivation #WellnessWithoutObsession #FunctionalNutrition #IntuitiveLiving #HealthyBalance

Solo parenting weeks can be a lot, but after some practice I’ve found that a little prep goes a LONG way! These small habits help me stay nourished, keep stress low, and make time for movement—even when it’s just me and my little guy. 🩷 🥘 Prepping meals & snacks = fewer dishes, fewer decisions, and easy nourishment. 😋 Treating myself to takeout = one less meal to cook, plus a nice little treat. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Moving with my son = ensuring I get movement in even when I can’t get to the gym. When I’m solo, I swap naptime workouts for movement with my son and use naptime to reset instead of squeezing more in—because downtime is rare! I love this life and wouldn’t trade it for anything. Finding little ways to make it smoother helps me show up as my best self. 💙 A little grace (and a lot of coffee) goes a long way 🥰☕️ . . . #MomLifeBalance #HealthyHabits #WellnessJourney #MomHacks #MealPrepIdeas #SelfCareForMoms #RealLifeWellness #StressFreeLiving #HealthyRoutines #BusyMomLife #MindfulMotherhood #WellnessTips #DailyMovement #LowStressLiving

My Favorite Hack for Meal Planning? ChatGPT! Meal planning can feel SO overwhelming, but ChatGPT makes it all a little less daunting for me these days! When it comes to baby meals, I just use these ideas as inspiration and adapt them to fit our needs. For example, when I made Greek chicken thighs on Tuesday, we skipped the romanesco that night, but I served my son quinoa (new food ✅), shredded chicken, and zucchini purée I had in the freezer. At almost 11 months, I’m mainly using purées to make meals scoopable or supplementing when other sides aren’t BLW-friendly (like our salad that night). ChatGPT helps me balance variety, nutrition, and convenience for the whole fam 👏🏼💛 . . . #MealPlanningMadeEasy #HealthyMeals #BabyFriendlyMeals #GlutenFreeLiving #101BeforeOne #BabyLedWeaning #BLWInspiration #MomHacks #HealthyFamilyMeals #CeliacLife #GlutenFreeMom #MealPlanningTips #ChatGPTForMealPlanning #HolisticLiving #NourishToThrive #BusyMomHacks #FunctionalNutrition #BalancedEating #BLWJourney #NewFoodsForBaby

A few of my 10 month old’s plates 🍽 Sharing some of the meals I’ve made for my little guy during this stage of our baby-led weaning journey! As a first-time mom and future FDN-P, I’m simply sharing my experience—not an expert, just learning as we go. Our goals: 🍉 Vary his diet with a mix of veggies, fruits, meats, and seafood 🫑 Introduce 101 new foods before age 1 for exposure to all sorts of textures and flavors 🧪 Encourage him to explore and enjoy real food What I’ve noticed: 👍🏻 He’s becoming way more interested in food! & less and less interested in the purées we’ve incorporated sometimes 👏🏼 His meals are starting to look more and more like ours. I’ve always tried to serve a similar meal, but it’s becoming easier and easier to share what we’re eating ✌🏻 Seconds are happening more often—he’s really eating now! We follow @SolidStarts for serving sizes and safety, which has been SO helpful since we started BLW at 6 months. Around 9 months, we transitioned from big pieces to bite-sized ones, and I was amazed at how much more he ate!

The best gift I gave myself postpartum? A stocked freezer full of nourishing meals. Nutrition is key to healing from pregnancy and birth, but it’s also the hardest time to cook (let alone a balanced, nourishing meal!). That’s why I created my Postpartum Meal Prep Guide — a week-by-week plan to fill your freezer, so you can focus on what truly matters: your baby and your recovery. 💛 It’s perfect for filling the gaps & adding some much-needed nutrients in between takeout, meal trains, and gift cards from family and friends.

Throwback to last year’s Thanksgiving at Anna’s Harborside in Plymouth! ✨🦃 This was our first year eating out for the holiday, and it was a wonderful experience!

Give yourself permission to enjoy your favorite treats in moderation and savor the moment guilt-free. #HealthyHalloween #OneBiteToWellness #MindfulIndulgence #HalloweenHacks #TrickOrTreatTips #HalloweenBalance #SmartIndulgence #ModerationMatters #HealthTips #WellnessHacks #StayBalanced #HealthyLiving #EnjoyTheSeason #HalloweenFun #HalloweenTreats #SweetToothSolutions #BetterChoices #HealthyHabits #FeelGoodTips #BalancedLifestyle #HolidayHacks

Part of my One Bite Treats series, I’ve taken a delicious recipe and made it gluten-free so everyone can enjoy. Want the recipe?

Following up on last night’s stories on the recent Joe Rogan episode with Calley Means and Dr. Casey Means, I wanted to dive deeper into one of the biggest takeaways: sugar. Our healthcare system is under pressure, and much of it comes down to the rising rates of metabolic dysfunction—and sugar plays a major role. Americans are consuming 77g of added sugar a day on average, which is WAY more than our bodies can handle. In this post, read about the impact of sugar on our health, how to spot hidden sugars, and practical swaps you can make to reduce your intake. Check out my stories (under the highlight FDN-P) for more on the podcast episode and more info on why we need to have these conversations about our health. *statistics used in the post come from this podcast episode. 🤍 . . . #HealthMatters #MetabolicHealth #SugarAwareness #ReduceSugar #HealthyLiving #WellnessJourney #NutritionFacts #JoeRoganPodcast #CalleyMeans #CaseyMeans #HealthDebate #HiddenSugars #MindfulEating #SugarDetox #MetabolicWellness #HealthySwaps #KnowYourFood #FoodLabelReading #PreventDisease #BetterHealthChoices #HealthyHabits #EatForHealth

A Few Baby Plates: Before & After Edition! I’m loving the process of combining baby-led weaning (BLW) with purees to offer my son a variety of textures and flavors. It’s a fun (and super messy, thank god for Charlie! 🐶) way to let my baby explore food and practice feeding himself. Just a new mom figuring this out & sharing what works for us! :) We’ve already introduced most allergens, so now I’m rotating these exposures regularly, which is why I include allergens in all of these meals—like soy, egg, sesame, walnut, cashew, and hazelnut. Meal Breakdown: 1. Egg strip (allergen/BLW) + pumpkin w/ tahini & walnut butter (allergens - sesame and walnut) 2. Avocado (BLW) + tofu (allergen - soy) w/ sweet potato 3. Avocado (BLW) + cantaloupe + cashew butter (allergen) 4. Banana (BLW) + yogurt w/ strawberry & hazelnut (allergen) Most importantly at this age, just encouraging my baby to explore alllll the textures with his hands and feed himself using a pre-loaded spoon. It’s all about exposure at this age and letting him lead the way in discovering new tastes and textures. So much fun! . . . #BabyLedWeaning #IntroducingAllergens #MessyMeals #BLWJourney #7MonthsOld #BabyPlates #BalancedMealsForBabies

Walking is one of the most underrated forms of exercise, but it’s one of the best things you can do for your body and mind. Whether you’re pushing a stroller like me or hitting the trail with your pup, here’s why walking deserves more credit: 1. Cardio Without the Stress: Walking may seem low-intensity, but it’s an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise. It increases your heart rate, improves circulation, and supports a healthy heart—all while being gentle on your joints. 2. A Boost for Weight Loss: Walking consistently helps burn calories and supports weight management. It’s a sustainable way to stay active and fit without the need for intense workouts. 3. Sunlight + Fresh Air: Getting outside for a walk means soaking up vitamin D from the sun (most of us are deficient!) and breathing in fresh air, which can clear your mind and reduce stress levels. Morning walks, in particular, help regulate your circadian rhythm and balance cortisol levels. 4. Strengthens Your Mind: Walking isn’t just good for your body—it helps improve mental clarity, reduce anxiety, and boost creativity. It’s one of the easiest ways to reset your mind and feel grounded. 5. Anyone Can Do It, Anytime: No gym membership or fancy equipment required. Whether you’re just starting a fitness routine or adding more activity to your day, walking is accessible for everyone and can be done anywhere. So next time you need a little reset or are looking to stay active, don’t overlook the power of a simple walk 🌞 — #WalkingForHealth #UnderratedExercise #DailyWalks #StrollerWalk #FreshAirAndSunshine #MentalWellness #HeartHealthy #MovementForLife #HolisticHealth #WeightLossJourney #WalkMoreLiveMore #MindBodyConnection #WalkingBenefits #GetOutside

A few things that have made me smile lately 🌞🌊 Lots of new faces around here today, so excited to have you! Here are 5 things you might not know about me. 🤍 1. I’m a new mom to my almost 7 month old son. 🩵 2. I’m passionate about wellness, fitness, and gluten-free living (I have celiac disease!), but love a good ice cream - pumpkin right now, obviously. 3. I’m working toward becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), to help other people feel their best. Food is medicine and I want to help fill the gap in our healthcare model. 🫶🏼 4. I’m a former FAANG recruiter turned stay at home mom — the biggest blessing! 5. I love the ocean, and my husband and I eloped on the beach😜 but more on that soon! #MomLife #NewMom #WellnessJourney #GlutenFreeLiving #HealthyLiving #FDNP #HolisticHealth #OneBiteToWellness #MomEntrepreneur #Elopement #FunctionalNutrition #HealthyLifestyle #PostpartumJourney #CeliacLife #NaptimeDinner #WellnessTips #BreastfeedingMom #WellnessCommunity #HolisticWellness #NutritionCoach

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the nontoxic swaps you could be making for your health and home. But here’s the truth: small, gradual changes are just as important as big ones! ✨ Start small—as you run out of items like deodorant, hand soap, or laundry detergent, swap them with cleaner alternatives instead of tossing everything and starting from scratch. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also makes the process more affordable and less overwhelming. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. Every small step is a win for your health and your family’s well-being. 💪 So whether it’s switching to glass storage containers, investing in safer cookware, or opting for organic groceries when possible, all these changes make a difference. Start where you are, use what you have, and take one step at a time. #NontoxicLiving #HealthySwaps #ProgressOverPerfection #ReduceToxins #CleanerLiving #HealthyHome #SustainableLifestyle #NontoxicHome #EcoFriendly #WellnessJourney #SlowLiving #MindfulLiving #GreenLiving #HealthyLifestyle #CleanerChoices

Cassava flour is a must-have in the kitchen! 🌱 Not only is it naturally gluten-free and grain-free, but it’s also nut-free, making it perfect for those with food allergies. With its neutral flavor, versatility, and lower glycemic index, it’s an ideal replacement for wheat flour in breads, tortillas, and even pancakes. Whether you’re avoiding gluten, grains, or just looking for a different flour to experiment with, cassava flour is an excellent source of energy and works wonders in a variety of recipes. 💪 Quick Cassava Tortilla Recipe: 1. Ingredients: - 1 cup cassava flour - ¼ tsp salt - 1 tbsp olive oil - ½ cup warm water 2. Instructions: - Mix cassava flour and salt. - Stir in olive oil and warm water until a dough forms. - Divide into small balls and roll out into tortillas. - Cook on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Enjoy these grain-free tortillas with your favorite fillings! 🌮 #CassavaFlour #GlutenFreeLiving #OneBiteToWellness #HealthySwaps #GrainFree

Reducing toxins in the kitchen can have a major impact on your family’s health and the environment! 🌱 Over time, I’ve swapped out conventional products for cleaner, safer alternatives—starting with everyday essentials like cookware, food storage, dish soaps, and more. I use a Caraway frying pan & tea kettle! Much better for you compared to traditional nonstick cookware. From avoiding nonstick cookware to switching out plastic baggies for silicone or glass, every small change adds up! And a reminder: just because a brand seems ‘clean,’ doesn’t mean it is (looking at you, Method 👀). Greenwashing is real, so always check the labels or refer to a trusted source like EWG. Swipe through for some of my favorite nontoxic kitchen swaps that have helped create a healthier home for my family. 💚 Remember, it’s not about perfection, but about progress. Every small step you take towards reducing toxins makes a difference! . . . #NontoxicLiving #CleanKitchen #ToxinFreeHome #HealthyHome #KitchenSwaps #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyKitchen #ReduceToxins #HealthyLivingTips #GreenHome #HolisticHealth #EcoConscious #MindfulLiving #SaferChoices #WellnessJourney

Exercise goes beyond appearance—it’s about nurturing your body, mind, and overall well-being. Here’s why movement is essential for everyone: 🧠 Boosts Mental Health: Regular movement reduces stress, anxiety, and depression by releasing feel-good endorphins, which help you stay mentally resilient. Movement also strengthens your connection to your body, fostering empowerment and confidence, regardless of appearance. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Enhances Energy: Exercise improves circulation and oxygen flow, giving you more energy to tackle your day and keep up with life’s demands. 🫀 Supports Longevity: Moving your body keeps joints, muscles, and your heart healthy, reducing the risk of chronic illnesses and promoting long-term well-being. 💤 Improves Sleep Quality: Physical activity helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, allowing you to sleep deeper and wake up refreshed. A bonus? Getting outside for a walk in the morning improves your circadian rhythm and helps lower cortisol levels, setting you up for a better day and night. #MoveForHealth #BeyondAppearance #MentalWellness #DailyMovement #EnergyBoost #LongevityLifestyle #BetterSleep #MorningWalks #HolisticHealth #MindBodyConnection #WellnessJourney #HealthyHabits #GetOutside #ExerciseForLife #StressRelief

Starting Solids: Our Journey as Clueless First-Time Parents 🥄 When it came time to start solids, I was overwhelmed by all the advice out there. As a first-time mom (and future FDN-P), I wanted to make the healthiest choices for my son, and here’s what worked for us (but I’m no expert and every family is different!). 😊 There’s a lot of conflicting info about when to start—some say 4 months, others say 6. We chose to wait until close to 6 months, following our pediatrician’s advice (AAP and WHO agree!). Starting solids too early can impact gut health and obesity risk, and babies get iron from mom in the last months of pregnancy which lasts until about 6 months, so there’s no rush. ✨ Our approach: We started with veggies and quickly introduced allergens like peanuts, eggs, and dairy. No 3-day wait here (except for allergens, spaced 3-4 days apart). We introduce allergens early in the day so we can watch for reactions. Once introduced, we try to keep those foods in his diet 2-3x a week. For iron, we skipped baby oatmeal (which is fortified) and opted for an iron supplement, OK’d by our pediatrician. We want him to explore whole foods first—fruits, veggies, and protein. We do a mix of baby-led weaning and purees. He feeds himself with a pre-loaded spoon, which reduces choking risk and helps him learn hunger cues. It’s messy, but that’s part of the fun! 😄 I make the purees at home and freeze them into cubes for easy meals. We started small, ~2 tsp. A final tip: watch videos to learn the difference between gagging and choking. Be prepared & know how to help just in case, plus we keep a LifeVac nearby for peace of mind. Such a fun journey with my little family! 🤍 #FirstTimeMom #StartingSolids #BabyLedWeaning #PureesAndBLW #IntroducingSolids #FeedingJourney #HealthyBaby #BabyNutrition #SolidStarts #BabyFoodIdeas #MomLife #BreastfeedingMom #PostpartumJourney #BLW #MomTips #IronRichFoods #FeedingBaby #WeaningJourney #AllergenIntroduction #HolisticHealth #WellnessJourney #FDNPMom

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 Hey, everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that One Bite Gluten-Free is now One Bite to Wellness! 🥝 I've experienced the powerful impact that food can have on our health, from dealing with mono that never (really) went away to undiagnosable autoimmune symptoms, and living with celiac disease. Now, I'm excited to share that I'm becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P)! 🌿✨ While being gluten-free is a permanent part of my life because of celiac disease, it’s not my identity, and I don’t want it to define One Bite anymore, either. For years, I've been passionate about functional nutrition. I even considered becoming a Registered Dietitian in college, but that path didn't align with my health and wellness beliefs. What is FDN? Functional Diagnostic Nutrition focuses on building health by identifying and addressing the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. As an FDN Practitioner, I'll use a variety of tools and techniques, including: 🔬 Functional lab testing (over 60 different tests!) 💡 Personalized health protocols 📊 In-depth health assessments Starting in 2025, I'll be offering: 1️⃣ 1:1 sessions & consultations 2️⃣ Group programs 3️⃣ Comprehensive functional lab testing I will continue sharing about life with celiac disease on One Bite, including gluten-free guides, GF travel tips, restaurant recommendations, and more on my website, social media, and monthly newsletter. However, you’ll also start to see more all-encompassing wellness content, such as an upcoming series highlighting various nutrients and foods! My goal as a future FDN-P is to share the power of food and help you achieve optimal health and wellness through a personalized, holistic approach. Whether you have celiac disease or not, if you're struggling with chronic symptoms or just want to enhance your well-being, I'm excited to support you on your journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and send me a DM with your email to be added to my waitlist and be the first to know when I’m accepting new clients! 💖

📍 Magog, Quebec #ohmagog this was such a fun trip 🤪 Last summer, we went to Magog, Quebec, and enjoyed a few days of exploring, golfing, a spa day, and even visited a lavender field. I absolutely loved the spa we went to - Spa Nordic Station. The focus is on the power of thermotherapy, water, and nature. We started with a massage and then explored the extensive outdoor facilities: Californian baths, Finnish saunas, steam crypt, Russian banya, Cold plunges, relaxation areas, and access to the river. Thermotherapy, a Nordic tradition, is the alternation of hot, cold and relaxation. Our Airbnb was beautiful, and we loved the sauna & hot tub 🌞The #glutenfree options were surprisingly plentiful and tasted great too. 1. Les Enfants Terribles 2. Kóz Bistro (because it’s not vacation without calamari) 3 & 4. Liquor Store We also enjoyed really good sushi, Mexican food at Guacamole y Tequila, and ice cream. We had breakfast in the Airbnb with Greek yogurt and granola (duh). Clearly, I failed at taking good food pictures on this trip 🫣.
