I get asked a lot of questions in my DMs and comments, so I figured why not open the floor and let you ask me literally anything!
Nutrition questions you’ve been wondering about, how I plan my meals for the week, how I got into this field, the stuff nobody else will answer honestly... it’s all fair game.
Drop your questions below in the comments or send me a DM. I’ll be picking some to answer in a video soon.
No question is too random or too basic. Ask away ⬇️ or email questions to questions@thrivenutritionrdn.com

Hey Thrivers 💛
No new video this week — lots happening behind the scenes over here lately that has shifted ALL THE THINGS 😂 It’s all good, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.
I’ve got more nutrition myth-busting videos, new recipes, research-backed info on peptides, a nutrition app comparison video, and so much more coming soon!
Thanks for being here and supporting this little corner of the internet. Seriously means so much to me.
While I’m planning upcoming videos… what topics would you love to see next?

🚀 I’m working on a new video comparing the top nutrition apps, and I want to hear from you!
Which apps do you use to track your food, macros, or nutrients? What do you love about them — or wish they did differently?
Right now, Cronometer and MyFitnessPal are in queue for review, but I’d love to know if there are others you'd like to see tested.
Drop your favorites in the comments 👇 and tell me what you want me to cover — I’ll include your suggestions in the video!
BTS photo just for fun!

BTS from this week’s video filming! 🎬 (Notice the mess on the right, perfectly out of video frame, dishes, coffee cup, real life things!)
We dove deep into insulin resistance, and I’ve got so much info I can’t wait to share with you all. Stay tuned—it’s coming soon!

We took a little break last week to catch up on life—let’s be real, sometimes it just gets crazy! This week I’ve got a video with straight talk on what it really takes to be healthy and live healthy—no shortcuts! Plus, a life update video is in the works—let’s just say things haven’t gone quite as planned. 😅
In the meantime, here’s a little BTS from filming the seed oils video!

Hi Thrivers! We’re taking a little break this week to soak up some family time, hiking, and fresh mountain air—but I couldn’t leave you hanging without sharing something delicious!
This recipe was inspired by our lovely viewer Jim, who told me I had to try the viral date Snickers bar. Well…I tried it, and then I made it even better 😉
My version has layers of chewy dates + crunchy peanuts, a generous swirl of natural peanut butter, and it’s all topped with a layer chocolate. No added sugar, just naturally sweet and so satisfying. All of my boys gave it a solid 5/5!
I hope you make it and love it as much as we do!
