Powered by Plants is run by me (Hi!), a registered dietitian trained in lifestyle medicine and board certified in sports nutrition, to make nutrition and healthy living simple so you can optimize your health. I've put together guides on my approach (what I refer to as Intentional Nutrition), shared my favorite recipes (seriously, only the ones I've cooked and eaten), and will be adding content weekly to help you refine what and how you eat to feel your best. If you have a topic you want to see here, send me a note!
