What I eat in a day... As a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner (Part 1)

Featuring olive oil.

Their delicious olive oil comes in two forms: 'for the pan' and 'for the plate', so I can have the health benefits of olive oil all day long!

Used the yellow bottle 'for the pan' to cook up some eggs & enjoyed with an everything bagel + garden veggie cream cheese.

For a snack, drizzled some 'for the plate' olive oil over hummus and paired with crunchy cucumbers and pita chips.

Check out for their amazing products!

Saturday morning reset mode ☀️🍳

We always hear “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” but it’s really about how you break your fast. Starting your day with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense foods sets the tone for steady energy, fewer cravings, and a body that feels fueled instead of frazzled.

Think less sugar spike, more slow burn. A balanced, high-protein breakfast isn’t just food — it’s your morning strategy for better focus, metabolism support, and feeling full for hours.

Simple plate, big impact.
