Supplements You Desperately DON'T Need
Ever opened Instagram and felt attacked by ads for "miracle" supplements that promise to solve all your problems? Yeah, me too - dietitians aren’t immune from the pressure (I’m a human being too!). The supplement industry is very much like that one auntie who won't stop recommending things you didn't ask for.

Diabetics, Don't Fear the Foreign
Being a diabetic in the US is becoming more and more common. It's not surprising that the once rare disease is now as American as apple pie, the US is a carb-a-licious country. With our love of breakfast cereals, snack cakes, chips, and soda, it should have surprised no one that we are in the world's top nations for diabetes rates. Rates that are growing every year. Strolling through any national chain grocery store in the US and you will enter a world of carbs, carbs, carbs. In fact, finding something to eat that isn't carb, sugar, or salt laden, can be quite a feat in some stores.

A Fresh Look at Brand Modeling: What You Need to Know
With the advent of technology and the mass dissemination of information, consumers are becoming increasingly aware and demanding the rights they deem to receive from every brand. A selective modern consumer demands a different approach. Emerging from the valleys of e-cradles and frequent access to an endless assortment of products and services propels consumers to alter their purchasing decisions. Instead of anchoring the process with a brand name, people start asking questions in search of solutions to personal problems or needs. Their resources to find their one-stop solution encompass in-depth social media research, and checking search engines or online reviews.

Welcome To Diabetes! 1
Welcome! This is the very first post in a series dedicated to understanding the difficult and often confusing world of diabetes. I hope I can help others in their journey to living a healthier life with diabetes. By sharing my experiences, my successes, my pitfalls, and some really tasty recipes, maybe diabetes will become something less scary and more approachable for others. Much like the surprisingly common condition diabetes, not every post will be sunshine and rainbows in this series, but I do hope I can keep this a positive place. I hope this can be a place where others can find inspiration to make small and easy changes in their everyday actions that can grow into lasting change for the better in their lives. Diabetes can be very scary and difficult to learn to live with, but with a little extra info and a positive approach, almost anyone can find a new balance in their lives that is both healthier and less scary.

Mindful Mental Health: Finding Freedom from Anxiety
Almost everyone 10 years back or now suffers from anxiety in their fast-paced and over-connected life. For many, it is an unwanted visitor, a silent companion that befriends their still moments with apprehensions of tomorrow, insecurities and scepticism.

Present in Peace: Cultivating Mindful Mental Health
Mindfulness and balance in our lives seems so crucial nowadays with the constant hustle, flow and rhythms of this world not allowing any space for reflecting on ourselves. In an era where every conceivable distraction is competing for our time—like the pinging of notifications, work projects eating away at our evenings, or that extra bit of socialization we are all eagerly running away from.
