Food Shopping Hacks

Check out this piece I did on grocery store hacks for Urban Wellness Magazine:

“I like to remind my patients that developing a health-forward way of eating starts with preparation,” Registered Dietitian, Maya Feller told UWM. “I also encourage my patients to get to know all areas of the grocery store so they can choose the shopping route that is right for them and learn how to read a nutrition facts label.”

“Be wary of buzz words and health trends that purport miracle cures,” she added. “[For patients] looking to reduce years of chronic inflammation, I suggested leaning into a diet that is based in foods that are recognizable as food. Foods that don’t have expiration dates or wild health claims. Food that is just that, food.”  Feller says shopping for nutrients and minerals is better than shopping for “food,” and each food item should have five ingredients or less.
