There’s a reason community is one of the 6 pillars of my Wellness Intelligence™ program. 💛⁠ ⁠ Surrounding yourself with supportive, caring people doesn’t just feel good—it’s actually good for you. Studies show that strong social relationships can increase your chances of living longer by 50%*, no matter your age or health. That’s HUGE.⁠ ⁠ While we often stress about overeating at Thanksgiving, the truth is, the people you’re sharing your meal with are the ones who truly impact your long-term health.⁠ ⁠ Tag or share this post with someone who nourishes your life. 😊⁠ ⁠ *Research from a meta-analysis of 148 studies on mortality risk by Julianne Holt-Lunstad, PhD, of Brigham Young University, and colleagues (PLOS Medicine, Vol. 7, No. 7, 2010).⁠ ⁠ #wellnessintelligence #gratitude #wellnessjourney #womenswellness⁠

✨ As a Registered Dietitian, I'm often asked if cheese can be part of a healthy eating plan—and as someone who enjoys it daily, I'm excited to share that it absolutely can be! 🧀⁠ ⁠ I recently spoke with @TODAYshow about this (link in bio!) to break down the science and share practical ways to include cheese in a balanced diet.⁠ ⁠ Let's talk top picks:⁠ ⁠ — Cottage cheese leads the pack with 12 grams protein per half cup and lower saturated fat... perfect for that post-workout boost⁠ — Swiss brings 8 grams protein per slice and is naturally lower in lactose⁠ — Ricotta offers a lower sodium option that's incredibly versatile⁠ ⁠ Pro tip: The key is pairing cheese with fiber-rich foods to optimize satiety and nutrition. Think: ricotta + whole grain toast or cottage cheese + berries.⁠ ⁠ Want the full breakdown on portions, pairings, and how to make cheese work for your lifestyle? Check out the complete article!⁠ ⁠ Do you have any questions about cheese? Drop them below!⁠ ⁠ Xx Patricia 💛⁠ ⁠ #wellnessintelligence #eatingcheese #todayshow #dietitiansofinstagram #womenshealth⁠

Rest isn’t lazy - it’s a superpower 💫 Career-driven women, science shows a 10-min break can boost productivity by 40%. Yet 75% of us power through, or worse—feel guilty about resting. That guilt? It literally cancels out the restoration our minds and bodies need. Cats get it. No shame in a power nap. Maybe it’s time we learn from our feline friends and embrace guilt-free rest as the ultimate hack for what matters most—whether that’s career success, creativity, or being present for the moments that count. ✨ This is your reminder to give yourself some time to rest and restore this weekend. #wellnessintelligence #selfcarecheck #productivityhacks #womensupportingwomen

Feeling low but don’t have a lot of time? Sometimes, self-care is as simple as taking a moment to enjoy something nourishing and warm. 🍲✨ In the rush of daily life, we often forget how much these small moments can restore us. Taking time to slow down—even if it’s just a few quiet minutes with a cozy bowl of soup—helps us reconnect with ourselves and feel grounded. 🌱 Remember, self-care doesn’t have to be a grand act. It can be as small as giving yourself permission to pause and enjoy. Here’s to finding little pockets of peace in your day. 💫 What’s one small way you’re taking care of yourself today? Let me know in the comments! xo, Patricia 💛 #wellnessintelligence #selfcare #smallmomentsbigimpact #nourishyourself #womenswellness”
