    NMLP Season 2 Episode 3: Removing food groups can backfire on your health

    There was a TickTok trend going around that I participated in and it got me thinking I need to do a podcast episode on this.    The trend was, " What do you think the next silent killer of our generation will be?"    My answer as a Registered Dietitian and health advocate- DIET TRENDS that remove food groups.    Here at Nutrition's My Life you've heard me say all foods fit into a healthy lifestyle and today I'm sharing with you the foods that you DO want to add in more and why. I'm sharing with you what I think about the KETO and Carnivore diet... specifically what pushing out key foods can do to the body.  Today we're talking about the benefits of eating carbohydrates and how to balance them with enough protein and fiber rich foods. We're talking about the benefits of the colors in our foods, specifically vegetables and I even share with you a blog post I did years ago that will help you understand, plus there are tons of recipes in that blog- you can read more here https://www.nutritionsmylife.com/blog/antioxidants Today we even talk about the benefits of eating legumes and beans- as they're the most common food consumed across all Blue Zones. (Blue zones are where the most people who live past 100 years of age and are the healthiest).    Today's a really interesting podcast and I am so happy to share it with you.    To work with Nicole or to hire her for media, a talk at a conference, brands, and even to be a guest on your podcast, email her at nicole.eichinger@nutritionsmylife.com or visist www.nutritionsmylife.com    xoxo,  Nicole

    NMLP Season 2 Episode 4 : Top 6 tools to help insulin resistance

    Are your blood sugars high or increasing? Have you been told you are pre-diabetic or insulin resistant? On today's episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you:  1. Understand what insulin resistance is 2. Why you should be mindful of your blood sugars 3. Provide you with 4 nutrition tools and 2 habit building tools that can positively impact your blood sugars (and even reverse prediabetes).   These 4 nutrition tools that help improve blood sugars are:  *Choosing complex carbohydrates  * Pairing all carbs with a protein and/or fat source * Having enough protein at your meal times (I even go over how much protein someone should have per meal based on their height) * Avoiding skipping meals / eating consistent throughout the day The 2 habit building tools are:  * Moving throughout the day * Build muscle mass     These tools personally helped me improved my hemogloban A1C from a 5.7% down to a 4.9% and I often see improvements with my patients as well.  To work with Nicole visit www.nutritionsmylife.com    To collaborate with Nicole email at nicole.eichinger@nutritionsmylife.com or fax inquiries to 726-465-5623

    NMLP Season 2 Episode 5 : How to add in foods to balance your meals

In today's episode on the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you with breakfast, lunch, dinner ideas AND how to make sure those meals are complete.  As a registered dietitian, I hear a lot good meal ideas on session with my patients but it's my job to help them understand the missing parts of their meals and that is exactly what I'm doing today.  You'll start understand how to execute my favorite way of eating; with the plate method!  Color, carbs, protein, and sometimes a healthy fat are the main components to this method.   You'll start to look at meal preparation a bit differently and it be a lot easier than you think!

    NMLP Season 2 Episode 6 : FIVE nutrition facts you need to know!

    These are five nutrition facts you need to know! When you gain weight reintroducing carbohydrates into your diet, the weight you're gaining is: glycogen storage (glycogen is stored blood sugar that we store in our muscles and liver) Water weight. When carbohydrates are broken down / metabolized a byproduct is water! Simply by eating carbohydrates our body makes water and this is also why people gain more weight overnight when they eat more carbs... the weight gain is not actual weight but simply water weight.   The order in which you eat your foods can impact your blood sugars.  Carbs leave the stomach fast, so if you're aware of how foods leave the stomach then we can slow down the release of carbohydrates into the intestines which in turn slow down the conversion of those carbs into blood sugar.  The order you want to eat your macros/ meal to help lower blood sugars is.  eat protein first followed by your vegetables lastly eat your carbs Adding salad dressings are a great idea!!  The fat in salad dressings can help you aborb your fat soluble vitamins. Without fat present at a meal, you won't absorb your fat soluble vitamins (Vitamin A, D, E, K are your fat soluble vitamins) Organic does not mean pesticide free Taking a calcium supplement does not mean you're going to reduce your risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis, especially if your calcium intake is above the RDA (recommended daily allowance). This includes calcium from dairy products, soy products, fortified cereals, and supplements.  Women 19–50: 1,000 mg per day Women 51 and older: 1,200 mg per day Pregnant and lactating women: 1,000 mg per day Men 19–70: 1,000 mg per day Men 71 and older: 1,200 mg per day       To work with Nicole, visit www.nutritionsmylife.com and if you're a Texas resident you can use your health insurance now!
