~ a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 20 years of experience helping people move away from dieting and toward a more realistic, sustainable way of eating. My work centers on intuitive eating, and over time, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again—people feel confident with food at home, but everything starts to feel…
Traveling with diabetes can feel like a lot to think through, especially when routines, meals, and timing all shift. Having a simple traveling with diabetes checklist and the right supplies on hand can make the entire experience feel more manageable and a lot less stressful. The goal isn’t to control every variable, but to set…
Wellness has become a central part of the resort experience. Guests expect more than a gym and a spa menu. They are looking for something that feels relevant to their real lives—something they can actually take home with them. Food naturally sits at the center of that, which means conversations around nutrition show up whether…
Travel days have a way of throwing everything off. Your schedule shifts, your hunger cues get weird, and suddenly your food options are limited to whatever is available at the airline gate or the gas station. According to the Transportation Security Administration, millions of travelers pass through U.S. airports every day, and many rely on…
When it comes to travel food, nuts are one of the easiest, most reliable options you can throw in your bag. Not because they’re trendy or labeled as “healthy,” but because they actually do what you need them to do. They keep you satisfied, they travel well, and they don’t require you to overthink your…
If you’re a foodie, you probably already plan at least part of your travel around food: the restaurants you’ve saved, the local dishes you’ve heard about, and the things you have to try while you’re there. But here’s what most people don’t realize: Even foodies often don’t fully experience food when they travel. Not because…
If you’ve ever thrown together crackers, cheese, and whatever else you had on hand and called it a meal, you’ve already made a charcuterie board. Traditionally, charcuterie refers to prepared meats like salami, pâté, and other cured products. That’s the official definition. But today, the meaning has expanded far beyond that. Now, when people talk…
Guacamole is one of those foods people genuinely love – something they order, crave, and keep coming back to. And for good reason. It’s one of the easiest (and healthiest) ways to make food taste better and feel more satisfying – especially when you’re traveling or pulling together a quick meal or snack on the…
Travel days can feel chaotic when it comes to food. You’re out of your routine, relying on airport options, and trying to figure out what will actually keep you full – not just hold you over for 20 minutes. This is where having a simple plan for airplane snacks (and knowing what you can bring)…
Travel is supposed to feel freeing – but for a lot of people, food ends up being one of the most stressful parts of the experience. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “Am I going to over do it?” or “How do I stay on track with intuitive eating while I’m away?”, you’re not alone….
Wellness travel trends have shifted significantly over the past decade. What once centered around spa treatments and fitness classes has expanded into a broader focus on how travelers feel—physically, mentally, and emotionally—throughout the entire guest experience. As these trends continue to evolve, travelers are looking for more than relaxation. They’re seeking experiences that feel meaningful,…
Wellness travel has moved far beyond spa days and yoga classes. Travelers today are increasingly looking for experiences that help them feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally while they’re away from home. As a result, wellness at all-inclusive resorts has become an increasingly important part of this shift. The global wellness tourism market is projected…
Wellness travel has grown dramatically over the past decade. What once meant little more than a hotel gym or an occasional yoga class has evolved into a much broader category of experiences—including wellness at all-inclusive resorts—designed to support how travelers feel during their time away from home. Today, many resorts offer a wide range of…
The idea for The Nutrition Travel Exchange—a dietitian travel program connecting RDs with all-inclusive resorts—didn’t start with a business plan. It started with a casual conversation nearly twenty years ago. At the time, I was taking a yoga class when the instructor mentioned she would be gone for a while because she was traveling abroad…
