In my clinical nutrition practice, many of my clients have already tried special restriction diets, such as a low-FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) or keto diet, before coming to see me.

I first encountered positive psychology as an undergraduate, and it was eye-opening. I learned that in addition to psychopaths, psychotherapy, Freud, and OCD, psychologists also study the positive areas of our lives. Positive psychologists want to know what makes us happy, motivated, and resilient. In other words, they explore what’s going well and how people can create a good life. After college, positive psychology became an important part of my career. I researched stress management and ways to boost people’s motivation, and I helped companies unlock engagement and motivation for their employees. Now, as an ADAPT-Certified Functional Health Coach, I use positive psychology every day in the work that I do with my clients. Positive psychology and health coaching go hand in hand.

(1, 2) Birth control is a deeply personal and controversial subject. Contraceptives are considered one of the biggest achievements in women’s rights and modern history, but women often aren’t satisfied with their method of birth control.
