My personal experience as a refugee and a humanitarian aid worker gave me a deep sense of gratitude for my own health. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I find purpose and passion in helping others reset their relationship with food so they can enjoy a happy, healthy life.

Everyday Inspiration for Your Wellness Journey

@nomadista_nutrition

One of my favorite childhood Ukrainian dishes, 'ikra iz kabachkov', is made from eggplant. The translation of the name is 'caviar from eggplant'. What's your favorite ethnic dish?? . . . . My mom makes the best ikra. I tried making it and it didn't come out nearly as delicious as hers 🙄. Mom's cooking is somehow always best, isn't it? . . . #ukrainian #russianfood #ethnicfood #easterneuropean #eggplant #momscooking
It's officially autumn 🍂 🍁 but it still feels like summer in LA 🤷🏻‍♀️! What are you guys doing to relax 😎 this weekend? Last Saturday @laurencornellnutrition and I had these delicious bowls at my new fave spot in Venice, Great White. The space is gorgeous and the bowls are delicious. . . . I've been working so far all weekend but the most amazing part is that my work doesn't feel like work - it's exactly what I want to be doing 🙏🏼. I feel so energized and inspired 😍 by it. I guess I don’t really have work / life separation... that statement never resonated with me. Why do you need separation if you are doing something that you love 😍🤔? . . . #saturdaythoughts #bowlsfordays #matchalatte #salmonsalad #spirulina #icedlatte #beautifulfood #whattoeat #whatadietitianeats #venicebeach
Happy Friday! What are you guys looking forward to eating this weekend?! I’m still dreaming about this yummy brunch from @superbafoodandbread last Sunday 😍. This was an AMAZING week and I'm so excited about my biz and so grateful!! I've realized that it takes time and a huge amount of work to build a life that you love and that is ok. It will happen and you will see the fruits of all that labor. If you're not exactly where you want to be - stay motivated 💥and keep moving forward. Dream bigger than you think is possible and work harder than you ever have (but get a lot of rest, too!). . . . Also...make sure you find a way to give back; whether it’s your career or something you do as volunteer. I truly believe this is essential to happiness. The big fundraiser I have been organizing to feed students at a school in South Sudan is happening this Sunday in Beverly Hills. We sold out of tickets and it's going to be a magical night!! So pumped 😬 🌱✨✨✨ . . . #fridaythoughts #happyfridays #whatsonmyplate #eggsandtoast #deliciouseats #eatsandtreats
Happy Mondayyyyy! ☕️😊How are you feeling today? Motivated or overwhelmed? My list seems endless and I can feel the stress starting to build but there's something my yoga teacher says during class that I love and remind myself of when I get overwhelmed: "imagine that everything is perfect and exactly as it should be, even if it's just while you are in this room" 🙏🏼 and it's crazy what a mental shift that thought can create. . . . I do believe that we are capable of manifesting anything we dream of, but it's not just manifestation and visualization that is key. It's also the hard work. 👊🏼So here's to an amazing 😍 week of hustle and success.💪🏼 . . . #motivationmondays #mondaysbelike #hustlequotes #girlbosses #entrepreneurquotes #manifesting #inspiringquotes
It's hump day! 🐫 Where is the time flying to?! I am so busy preparing for the fundraiser I am co-hosting for the @vadfoundation in less than two weeks. I'm so excited 😍. The fundraiser is for food security and nutrition in South Sudan. . . . Did you now that a famine (the worst possible food security classification) has been declared by the UN in South Sudan? That means that millions of people don't know where there next meal is coming from. I decided to organize this fundraiser because I want to ensure that the children attending the VAD school are able to learn properly, which requires nutritious meals ✅🍎🥑🍅🥒🍠. I have heard that some of the students there actually sneak their food over the school fence to less fortunate kids. It makes me cry 😭 to think about this. . . . We are SO lucky to simply have a nutritious meal to eat each day!! I truly believe that each of us has a responsibility to give back, which is why I have been pouring my heart into this upcoming event! I hope you all have an awesome Wednesday 💓and remember to GIVE BACK, however big or small. And see below for what's in my DELICIOUS bowl today 👌🏼😋😍 . . . This bowl has: an avocado rose, wild sardines sprinkled with black lava salt, quinoa, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell peppers and a bed of arugula. All the macros, perfectly combined! easy and healthy. . . . #southsudan #humanitarian #fundraising
