Overcoming Obstacles to Healthy Eating
By Andrea Young on November 9, 2022
Thank you to Nina Frusztajer, MD, MS., for kicking off our 2023 Empower Women series with her talk, Overcoming Obstacles to Healthy Eating.
Even if we know what to eat, how do we put the principles into practice and address what gets in the way? Nutrition information can be confusing and contradictory. Dr. Frusztajer discussed what healthy eating looks like and she addressed common obstacles like no time for meal prep, lack of recipes for simple and nutritious meals, over-reliance on takeout, a lifestyle that revolves around food-centric events, lack of self-care, and eating-driven by emotions and stress.

She has worked in the field of nutrition for 30 years, helping people lose weight and use food as medicine to feel and look their best, including clients with medical issues.
