You are not alone if you have ever felt like your body was wrong, too much, not enough, or simply "not right".

Unless, however, an outside force acts upon the inertia to get it moving. Similarly, an outside force can also cause the object to slow down or perhaps change course.

The trees are blooming, it’s getting darker later in the evening, and nature is coming back to life! How exciting?!

As a registered dietitian and therapist, I see every day how food connects to mental health. Food isn’t just about what we eat, it’s also about how we prepare it, share it, and experience it with others. The meals we choose can tell stories about our families, cultures, and even ourselves.
