Well, welcome to Dissing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

I'm Melanie Beasley and I'm a registered and licensed dietitian for many, many years.

I've been helping clients learn how to cook and eat real food so they can feel better.

I really appreciate the power of nutrition, especially when a client tells me I didn't know that getting

sugar and processed foods out of my diet would help my pain. Other clients have told me,

when they cut out sugar and wine, they sleep better and don't wake up several times a night.

It's the best. I personally understand the benefits of eating real food

because I've had my own health challenges.

Because, to be perfectly honest,

I did not always eat the best.

Sadly, my past included drinking lots,

lots of diet Dr. Pepper and eating a lot of cake. You could ask my

kids, but not anymore because my health is just too precious to me. And joining us this morning

as our co-host is Teresa Wagner, who's also a registered and licensed dietitian. She's not only busy conducting nutrition appointments

with clients on the phone or through Zoom video meetings.

She is also busy at home with three young, beautiful children.

I think about your three adorable children

and wonder, how are you doing with the Zooming from home?

You know, it's going actually pretty well. I,

I think that because I have kids at home, it isn't affecting me in the same way that maybe

people who are in different situations are because we're just busy all the time. You know,

we're not busy running around as much, which has been very nice. But we're busy just conducting our day-to-day activities.
