writings on food & wellness

Welcome to Writings on Food & Wellness, a living collection of thoughts, questions and quiet convictions from my desk as a functional dietitian.

This space holds reflections on clinical care, human experience, the poetry of food and the science of healing. Some pieces are personal. Others are grounded in research. All are written with care with room to wonder, explore & evolve.
