Food as Medicine

12/12/2011 11:23:08 AM by Judy Caplan MS RD

Heart burn? Constipated? Gas pains? Always running to the bathroom? People don’t usually talk about these things but as a registered dietitian in private practice, I hear these complaints all too often. Many of my clients come to see me as the last resort to solving their intestinal problems. They also come looking for ways to reduce their reliance on prescription medication, to lose weight, to lo... read more

Yoga and Your Relationship with Food, Mind, and Body

5/12/2011 3:15:07 PM by Ms. Lona F Sandon RD

I am a registered dietitian by day and a yogini by night. I have been practicing and teaching yoga for well over 10 years now.

What's on a Registered Dietitian's Workout Playlist?

7/1/2010 12:17:34 PM by Melinda R Johnson MS RD

I am not a naturally active person. I like to read. I like to sit. I like to tinker with genealogy websites for hours on my computer. However, being a dietitian, I cannot ignore the fact that my body (and mind!) needs exercise. And, I really do adore the feeling of being fit and in shape – it’s just that I don’t really adore the process of exercising. This is where music comes in – and it m... read more

5/17/2010 9:44:44 AM by Elisa S Zied MS RD CDN

For Shay Sorrells, May 10th, 2009 was the first day of the rest of her life; not only was it her 30th birthday, but it was the day this California-based social worker, wife, and stepmother to two boys moved into what would be her new home for the next nine weeks—the ranch that houses contestants of NBC’s hit show, The Biggest Loser. It also marked the day she became the heaviest contestant in... read more
