December - Looking back & Moving forward

Reflecting on 2025, I'm thrilled about the challenges that await next year! Overcoming the ups and downs of the past year has fueled my inspiration and energy to face what's ahead. I will focus on assisting those with chronic diseases in making informed decisions about their diet and self-care, referred to me by their primary doctors. I'll also share some highlights from my travels and favorite dining spots, so keep an eye on my blog!

There are numerous hot trends and topics for 2026 related to nutrition and wellness, but I'll focus on just a couple this year. The first is the Food as Medicine movement, which includes incorporating produce boxes into treatment plans for managing blood sugar and weight. Healthcare teams may prescribe medically tailored meals, medical food boxes, or medical nutrition prescriptions as part of the approach. Whether it's a consumer-supported agriculture (CSA) box or a medically tailored produce box, there's a box for you to try! 

The second trend is toward functional nutrition enhancements. Many chefs are collaborating with the medical field to help consumers choose conventional foods that are considered functional nutrition enhancements. 

Look for gardening tips and recipes for produce boxes, along with updates on functional nutrition enhancements throughout 2026, and stay healthy as you eat well!
