I had to share this super flavorful and beautiful

I had to share this super flavorful and beautiful recipe from @thefirstmess I made recently because it’s super easy and looks fancy if that’s what you’re into 💅🏼

It's on her site under "Herby Whipped White Beans with Smoky Mushrooms." 😛

It taught me a new way to season mushrooms for the grill and reminded me how much I love grilled sourdough bread! And inspires me to use all the herbs. Will be making this on repeat this summer!!!

What are your warm-weather go-to’s? ☀️

What would it be like to move your body without me

What would it be like to move your body without measuring, counting or tracking anything?

What would it be like to move your body with the purpose of being in your body and using your senses to enjoy the movement?

In this ~biohacking~ age of watches and rings and body monitors of all sorts, it can feel radical not to collect and analyze data about your body.

I’ll share something personal: This is the first season of running that I can remember since smart devices that I haven’t tracked my pace or heart rate or at least eyeballed distance on a map. I’ve had several seasons of running in my life and if I’m being honest, many of them were disordered.

It feels incredibly liberating, peaceful and joyful to just get out there and *actually* listen to my body with no pressure to push or perform. When I want to go faster I do. When I want to walk I do. When I want to stop and help a worm off the path I do. When I want to take off my shirt I do (actually the first time I’ve done that - I’m still working on my body stuff too! It’s a forever journey).

Our bodies are such incredible sources of valuable information that I wish we prioritized over what the rings and watches and apps tell us.

Also I just got a hand-me-down jogging stroller and tried it out for the first time… woof! That is harder than it looks. But super fun to bring my babe with me, stop off for some fun at the park, and not have to worry about childcare in order to get some outside movement in! Let me know if you have stroller jogging tips.

P.S. I’m not a competitive athlete and I’m not training for anything. Those who are may find data helpful AND can still listen to their bodies.

And, there is privilege in having access to safe outdoor spaces, to have a body that fits into clothing that isn’t difficult to find, to be able to run without a shirt and not receive hateful comments. This doesn’t mean it’s easy but let’s understand that individual body image struggles are not the same as systemic body oppression.

I recently saw someone saying that it’s “food

I recently saw someone saying that it’s “food freedom” to save vegan meats + packaged foods for convenience or when no other options are available.

Here’s the thing: ANY amount of judgment or fear or rules or restriction around food is still restriction.

That’s why the phrase “unconditional permission” is so critical in intuitive eating.

Literally any amount of restriction can keep you in the diet/binge cycle. It can keep you feeling like you need to “control” your food or else you’ll be “out of control.”

Messages like these bother me so much because they co-opt anti-diet language but are still perpetuating fear and restriction.

If rejecting diet culture feels more confusing than ever, you’re not alone. Lots of folks still push diet mentality, whether they realize it or not.

This is why we teach people to tune out all the influencers and gurus and instead focus on consistent, nonrestrictive nourishment + building connection & trust with their bodies. Your body is an incredible source of wisdom that is more important than what anyone on social media is telling you - including me and other dietitians!

On a scale of 0 to 10, how confident are you in spotting diet culture?

ID: A tweet from Taylor that says “It’s OK to eat vegan meats, cheeses, ice creams, etc. just because you want to. They aren’t “transition foods” or “junk food.” I’m so tired of these messages and the harm they cause in my clients. The more we can expel diet culture from the animal rights movement, the better.”

What is your favorite vegan brunch order? 😛

I'm a sucker for a breakfast sandwich on an English muffin or a bagel! I still miss the Mickey Muffin from @chicagodiner. 💔 Will they ever bring it back!?

My days of restaurant brunches are few and far between in this season of life but I still love to go out to eat when I can! 💁‍♀

Would you choose the:
-Tofu scramble
-Tofu tacos
-Loaded avocado toast

I couldn't choose so shared all of these and had some tasty leftovers to enjoy later too!

And if you're a sweets-for-brunch person, be sure to represent in the comments!

Jessica is an amazing human and dietitian and will surely do great things wherever she is! Join me in wishing her a fulfilling and joyful next chapter of her career!! 🥰

She has some words she'd like to share with you:

Hello all!

I am sad to announce that I will be transitioning away from Taylor’s practice at the end of April. Working with Taylor has been an incredible experience and the decision to move onward has been a challenging one. I have grown tremendously has a provider in this practice and have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing clients.

Though I am sad to leave, I am looking forward to joining a group practice in San Diego where I will be focusing primarily on sports nutrition. Working with athletes has been a passion of mine since entering the field of dietetics and I am very excited to have the opportunity to explore this path. Thank you to all who have crossed my path during my time with Taylor, I appreciate learning from every one of you. Thank you SO much to Taylor for being an amazing mentor, provider, and human, I will truly miss being a part of your team.

With love,
Jessica
