Hissy-fits

When I was little I used to throw hissy-fits. I don’t know where the word came from but I do know the definition. A hissy-fit is a little tantrum that your throw when you don’t get your way. I am sure I was a master hissy-fit thrower since I was a little sister to two big brothers. I wanted my way ALL of the time. It was not a pretty sight. Sometimes as a dietitian I still get to observe hissy-fits. We all want to eat anything we want anytime that we want. When someone tells us that we shouldn’t eat something that isn’t good for us we can become a bit upset. Women do not like to have chocolate limited in their diet. Men do not like to have meat limited in their diet. It’s a fact. Unfortunately, too much meat or too much chocolate can make us gain a few extra pounds. Extra poundage can result in many unpleasant diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, etc. Trust me, I know you do not want to give up your food. Have you ever tried to take a food dish from a dog? That growl is a warning that if you don’t stop he is going to turn and bite you. As a dietitian I have experienced many growls and a few bites. So today, I implore you, go ahead throw your hissy-fit and when you are finished, pick yourself up and start making good choices with regards to your diet. Now where did I put that chocolate, gotta run, I have a hissy-fit to throw.

Registered Dietitian

Hi, I’m Mary Kate. I love to try new foods and explore new restaurants and coffee shops, and even went on a homemade bagel-making kick this summer! My interest in nutrition started in middle school with my mom adding more veggies to our meals and making them taste interesting and fun, which sparked my interest to help her cook and learn more about how the food we eat impacts us every day. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that proper nutrition and daily fueling can have on overall health. Like many of my clients, I have faced challenges with my own gut health and hormonal changes, so I can relate to the frustrations and fatigue that come with seeking relief. Through personalized care and tailored nutrition, I discovered the keys to my health, and my goal is to help others bring their sense of vitality back!
