The 2016 Olympics in Rio are in full swing and it’s got the entire nation tuning in. I’m putting sports nutrition on the podium and sharing how the U.S. Olympic dietitians fuel our athletes (source: www.teamusa.org).

Like most holidays, the 4th of July is spent with friends or family and usually that means everyone wakes up with empty bellies and by noon they are already full! Enlist to bring an appetizer because I have three ideas that are sure to sit well with the enemy (and by enemy, I mean the […]

After days of rain and clouds, six University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students walked away from being working interns and turned into high-energetic crazy tourists. Okay, I was the only one that turned into an extreme tourist with my DSL camera hanging from my neck, selfie stick stuck nearby in my purse and my iPhone at […]
