Nutrition Study
Hi, I'm Dr. Cris
I'm a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, holistic nutrition specialist, and functional medicine practitioner — and I've been living the connection between food and health since my MS diagnosis in 1997.
This site was born from one simple belief: that nourishing food should fit into your real life, not the other way around. Every recipe here is designed to be quick, wholesome, and genuinely delicious.
Nutrition Tips & Wisdom
Eat the Rainbow
Aim for at least 5 different colors of vegetables and fruits each day. Each color represents unique phytonutrients that support different body systems — from immune function to brain health.
Functional Nutrition PrinciplePrep Once, Eat All Week
Batch-cooking grains, roasting a sheet pan of vegetables, and pre-washing greens on Sunday can cut your weeknight meal time in half — making healthy choices the easy choice.
Practical Nutrition StrategyProtein at Every Meal
Including a quality protein source at every meal helps stabilize blood sugar, support muscle maintenance, and keep you feeling satisfied — all critical for long-term metabolic health.
