About Meredith

Meredith has been an athlete her whole life, but always struggled to feel comfortable with her body and often felt like she was chasing body acceptance. She got into nutrition in college when she signed up for an elective beer brewing course. She assumed it would be an easy class to check off a general science requirement. Plot twist: It was hard. Fortunately, the challenging course, which was heavy on topics like biochemistry and food science, piqued her interest in the science behind how food (and, er, drink) affects the body. Who knew a beer brewing course would lead Meredith to land on pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition? Before joining the team at Culina Health, Meredith worked in graphic design and food media.

What’s one small thing someone can do today to work toward a balanced eating pattern/lifestyle? Add your favorite fruit or vegetable to one main meal today and try to do that daily until it’s habit.

A mindful eating moment you had recently: Thanksgiving of course. Do I want more pie? Yes, I do.

A habit you swear by: Start every morning with water, stretching and at least 20 grams of protein.

What’s your nutrition superpower? Myth busting misinformation on social media so that you know you never have to ditch your favorite food. Also, weight loss without having to count calories.

Nutrition philosophy in a nutshell: Food is fuel for your health and your soul. Nutrition shouldn’t feel like a battle between what you want and what you need — have what you want and add what you need. Understanding this balance and realizing what you want and what you need are the same thing is the key being at peace with your diet. Diets don’t work for everyone, but YOUR diet needs to work for YOU.

Nutrition myth or trend you find particularly annoying and would like to set the record straight: TikTok “health coaches” who walk around the grocery store and fear monger about very specific ingredients in healthy foods and tell you oats are bad for you. OATS!! eye roll. Trend: “What I Eat in a Day” on social media — ugh. Also, cleanses like juice cleanses or any “five-day” fix.
