Welcome to my Substack. I’m so glad you’re here.

I write about nutrition, science, and public health — and the policies, politics, and misinformation shaping them all.

Each week, I break down what’s happening in the world of health, from proposed legislation and industry influence, to viral wellness claims and the narratives driving our collective choices. I cover everything from food dye bans to SNAP cuts, from infant formula rhetoric to the politicization of nutrition and science. Always through the lens of evidence, equity, and impact.

I’m a registered dietitian with a PhD in nutrition science, and a mom of two. I’ve spent my career working at the intersection of science, clinical care, and public communication, translating complex issues into conversations that help people see the bigger picture and push for better systems.

This is a place for people who care about health — real health, not the kind sold to us by influencers, politicians, or billion-dollar industries. If you’re looking for nuance, integrity, and an unflinching look at what’s shaping the health of Americans (and who benefits from the confusion), you’re in the right place.

Some posts are free. Others are for paid subscribers who make this work possible.

Thanks so much for reading and for being part of it.
