Michael Pollan on Food Rules

01/05/10

food rules book coverTonight I had the pleasure of hearing Michael Pollan discuss his new book, Food Rules, at the Tribeca Barnes & Noble — just one of the many perks of living in this glorious neighborhood! Other than being a columnist at the prestigious New York Times, Pollan is just a regular guy who was curious enough about food to explore what we as Americans are eating and brave enough to publish the truths he discovered. Which, anyone who is familiar with his work or knows anything about the food industry can attest, is rather shocking.

Having read three of Pollan’s five books, his down-to-earth and friendly demeanor permeates his writing. Seeing him speak was no different. One statement he made tonight stood out: If we as a society ate less meat, there would be no shortage of organic food to go around.

As a health counselor, I am grateful for the work Pollan has done over the past few years to bring awareness to the shortcomings of the food industry. And I told him so when he signed my book. Not only has Pollan’s work shown us where we are amiss, it has invoked change at a government level and inspired individuals to seek education for how to live healthier lives. As a health counselor, this supports my crusade to make my clients more enlightened eaters.

How I Turned My Passion Into a Business: Next Generation.TV

Things are going to be changing a little bit aroun Things are going to be changing a little bit around here ... 

Let me explain. Way back when I started this account, I posted about fitness and nutrition. Instagram was only still photos, people posted a few times a week and stories weren't even a thing. 

Then I began IVF and successfully got pregnant (but not without many complications). I found it hard to share authentically during this time so I took a brief break. 

Once I announced my pregnancy, I lost followers in droves so I figured (sadly) nobody wanted to hear what I had to say. When I had Valentina early and she was in the NICU with a lot of unknowns I couldn’t even think about social media during that time. 

Fast forward to being at home with a newborn, feeling very out of shape and nowhere near back to my usual eating and exercise habits, trying to navigate being a mom and a pandemic thrown in, Instagram started to change and I couldn't keep up. 

I felt like there was no possible way I could post about fitness and nutrition or even coach people on the matter so I took a hiatus from health coaching to focus on being a mom. 

So if you haven't been following me since the beginning or if you don't know me IRL, you've probably seen me post mostly about my family, some fashion, travel and mom stuff. 

I'll still be posting about those things because it's also what I love and it's the reason my IG handle is my name, because I am and always have been my brand. BUT, I'll also be going back to my roots and posting more about nutrition and fitness as I step back into health coaching. 

I hope you'll stick around here because I have SO MUCH to share and I can't wait to do it!! 💚💋🥰

From the early days of trying to conceive and my first trimester when I didn’t want to leave the house to helping me through contractions and those long days in the NICU which turned into long middle of the night feedings and more recently the terrible twos, you have always been the partner and teammate I knew you would be as a husband and a parent. Your optimism, humor and love of fun make our family what it is. Valentina adores you and I love you with my whole heart. 💚💋👨‍👩‍👧
