Hawaii recap

The beginning of June, I had the opportunity to travel to Hawaii for 6 days with my boyfriend. I wanted to share with you some of the highlights of our trip. While I absolutely hate flying, I wasn’t going to let that get in my way of seeing Oahu. Be ready for lots of photos in this post!

Nutrition and Spinal Cord Injury: The Basics

September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month! 

Recent statistics show that approximately 285,000 people are living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States. When the spinal cord is damaged, communication between brain and spinal cord is disrupted. Many people falsely assume that muscle function is the only thing affected. This is far from the truth. I’d like to give a brief overview of some of the functions affected by spinal cord injuries and how they relate to nutrition.

CSA Shares: 3 Things to Consider

If you love fresh local produce straight from the farm and want to learn more, this post is for you! CSA is short for Community Supported Agriculture. As the name indicates, the goal is all about supporting your local agricultural community. By signing up for a CSA share you form a direct relationship with the farm. This is important for farms as it allows them to receive all revenue from their products, rather than losing a portion to a middleman. In return for supporting the farm, you get incredibly fresh and local produce week after week. I have been a member of Edible Earth Farm’s CSA program for 5 years now and absolutely love it! (I’m not getting anything for mentioning them, I just genuinely love their program.)

Is a CSA share right for you? Here are three things to consider:

Welcome to Adapting Nutrition!

Hello everyone! I am so excited to welcome you to Adapting Nutrition. It means a lot to me that you are taking the time to read this. For this first short post, I just want to introduce you to my site and let you know what you can expect.

The idea for the site came to me a few years ago while I was still in school completing my Master’s degree and internship. As you can imagine I was incredibly busy and just didn’t have the time to start a website. One reason I am so excited now is that I have been thinking about this day for years!

I plan to start out with blog posts a few times a month on a variety of topics including nutrition tips, recipes, travel updates, adaptive sports and more. I am passionate about nutrition and want to take what I have learned and share it with you.

This is a scary step for me, putting myself out there like this. But I am doing it for all of you! I hope you will sign up to follow my updates on here, as well as social media so we can get to know each other. Expect to see small changes in and around the website as I grow and figure things out.

Thank you for stopping by!

Feel free to contact me, I’d love to hear from you!
