March Newsletter
March is National Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endo affects an estimated 5-10% of women. However, the prevalence may be even higher due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Endometriosis can cause significant pain and discomfort and may also lead to fertility issues in some cases. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial in helping women manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Living with endometriosis is challenging. Personalized nutrition can make a substantial difference in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being, from reducing inflammation to balancing hormones.
If you are struggling and could use some help, I am here for you! You do not have to suffer in silence. If you know a friend or loved one with Endo, make sure to check in on them frequently.

How to nail your protein goals
As a dietitian specializing in women’s health and performance nutrition, I want to emphasize the importance of dietary protein in optimizing overall well-being and supporting peak physical performance for women.
🌟Protein is a fundamental macronutrient crucial for muscle repair and synthesis, a particularly significant aspect for women engaging in physical activities. Adequate protein intake not only aids in developing lean muscle mass but also plays a pivotal role in hormonal balance, supporting reproductive health.
🌟For women striving to achieve optimal performance, whether in daily activities or fitness pursuits, a well-balanced diet rich in high-quality protein sources such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and plant-based options is indispensable. This nutritional foundation enhances physical strength and assists in managing weight, promoting satiety, and sustaining energy levels.
🌟Tailoring protein intake to individual needs is key, considering factors such as activity level, hormonal fluctuations, and life stages. A starting point is we want meals to have 20-40 grams of protein and snacks to have 10-20 grams of protein. Please do not listen to the blanket recommendation by the fitness industry that you need to eat 1gm of protein per pound of your weight. More is not better! 🌟Do you struggle to meet your protein needs, or do you have questions about how many grams of protein you need per day?Let’s talk!
