  1. Why is no one talking about how the way we’re cooking is making us sicker? Maybe it just hasn’t been on anyone’s radar because it’s not what people want to hear. Maybe it’s because food companies don’t want us to hear it. Either way, we’re not talking about it enough. If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I’m always talking about why we should cook with water based cooking methods to lower our risks of chronic diseases and premature aging. I get a lot of messages from people who never knew water based cooking, like I am here with steam, could actually produce delicious, time-saving dishes. Wish I could say I invented all this but water based cooking is as old as it gets and many of my recipes are pulled from older cuisines and generational dishes from my own family. If you’ve never tried water eggs or steamed eggs before, you’re going to love this one. I said two ingredients in the video, but honestly water doesn’t even count! There are so many versions of water eggs. This is the Chinese version and I’ll actually be sharing the Japanese version (Chawanmushi) next! Ingredients: 2 Eggs Warm water (double the volume of eggs) Pinch of salt Optional toppings: sesame oil, soy sauce, sliced green onions Directions: 1. Measure the volume of the eggs you are using. Beat the eggs until smooth. 2. Add double the volume of warm water (2:1 water to eggs ratio). Add sprinkle of salt. Mix. 3. Pour mixture through a sieve into a heat-safe bowl that will fit into your steamer. Cover bowl with a heat safe plate. This recipe will make 2 bowls and you can cook them individually or together depending on the size of your steamer. 4. Steam for 10-12 minutes on low heat. 5. Remove and cut into squares, then add toppings. Enjoy! xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #glycation #steamedegg

  2. If you want to live a long and healthy life, here’s one recipe you’ll absolutely need to learn: A really good broth. A broth like this oxtail pho, my lazy girl version of our family recipe that has been passed down for generations. I’m embarrassed to say that I never realized how much nourishment and love my mom’s pho broth held until I started researching my dissertation for my PhD years ago. My research highlighted the importance of cooking with water to slow aging. Doing so lowers the amount of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the compounds that attach to our DNA and cells. All the evidence was there- cooking with water instead of dry heat slows the rate of total body aging- brain aging, skin aging, and even reverses some complications associated with diabetes. And it had been under my nose, literally, the whole time. This is my lazy girl’s version of my mother’s and my grandmother’s recipe for Oxtail Pho. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family has. Ingredients 2 lbs oxtail (if you have time soak for 1 hr before cooking to remove excess blood, makes a cleaner broth) Pho spices: 5-6 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 1-2 black cardamom 1-2Tbsp each: coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cloves 1 large onion, charred then washed 1 large ginger, charred then washed Fish sauce (or salt) Toppings: chopped cilantro and scallions, Thai basil or Italian basil, diced jalapeño (optional) 1 package of rice noodles, cooked according to directions Directions 1. Place oxtail, charred onion and ginger and spices (put into a steel tea strainer or small cheesecloth bag) into a large pot and cover with cold filtered water. 2. Bring to a boil and then lower to low/simmer for 3 hrs OR hit 45 min pressure cook in the instant pot 3. Before serving, skim the impurities and fat. 5. Season with fish sauce and salt. Some people like to balance it out with a pinch of sugar, but I skip this step. 6. Assemble your bowl with noodles and herbs. Noodle tip: If you have blood sugar sensitivity, feel free to omit the noodles altogether or swap for a low carb option like konjac noodles. 🍜 xo Dr. Michelle . . . . . . . . #longevitydiet #antiagingfood #pho #glycation

  1. This week, I got test results back for one of my patients, a young woman in her 20s who I met last summer. She hadn’t seen a doctor in years, but she felt fine and just wanted a regular checkup. I learned that she smoked cigarettes and had a family history of type 2 diabetes. . I went over our allotted appointment time (yup, a bad habit of mine 🙃) talking about lifestyle changes to help her get healthier & prevent diabetes, especially quitting smoking and moving towards a plant-based diet. . Her initial bloodwork showed a very elevated blood sugar (hemoglobin A1c near 9.0%) and I diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes. I explained that she would almost certainly be able to improve, and possibly even reverse, her type 2 diabetes by adopting a healthful plant-based diet and becoming more physically active. . I offered her the choice of lifestyle changes, medicines, or a combination of the two, depending on how much she thought she could change. She said she was motivated to eat differently and wanted to try that first. . Fast forward 8 months. She quit smoking. She started working out. And it took her some time, but she adopted a completely plant-based diet. This week her hemoglobin A1c came back below 7.0%, almost out of the type 2 diabetes range. (All this while eating sweet potatoes, fruits, oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, and beans…plus of course lots of veggies.) . Moments like this are why I went to med school. It isn’t the most dramatic transformation story in terms of the numbers. But it’s dramatic in terms of the fact that many doctors and patients don’t even know that something like this is possible. . I am a primary care doctor seeing patients from all walks of life. Very few of them know before they meet me how passionate I am about nutrition. They just think they’re seeing a “regular” doctor. I love giving people a chance to change. To me, it’s not diet vs medications -- it’s a dialog and a relationship, and seeing what’s right for each individual person. But few people escape my office without a conversation about food, because it’s so fundamental to health. . On this #nationaldoctorsday, here’s to more of us making that connection.

  3. I had the chance to lead two sessions on plant-based diets at the recent American Diabetes Association clinical meeting! To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but wow, the rooms were packed & there were tons of great questions. I was also thrilled to see quite a few fellow plant-based practitioners in the audience! . My 1st session was on plant-based diets for preventing & treating type 2 diabetes. It was a challenge to squeeze this into 45 mins because there is so much supporting evidence! My 2nd session was a workshop for clinicians to help their patients adopt a plant-based diet. For a recap of the science, read on 👇 . PREVENTION: Large observational studies in health-conscious populations show that vegetarians & vegans have approximately half the rate of diabetes as omnivores, even with statistical adjustments for differences in excess weight & other risk factors. And when followed over time, plant eaters experience up to a 62% lower risk of developing diabetes. . TREATMENT: Plant-based diets are remarkably effective. Randomized controlled trials have shown that a plant-based diet is superior to conventional diabetes diets - not just in terms of lowering blood sugar, but also cholesterol & excess weight. Moreover, plant-based diets significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, the #1 cause of death for people with diabetes. They’ve also been shown to decrease rates of premature death in people with kidney disease, and to ameliorate painful diabetic neuropathy! . HOW DOES IT WORK? Plant-based diets address the root causes of type 2 diabetes: insulin resistance & dysfunction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Both are related to the buildup of certain types of fats in our muscle, liver, & pancreas cells; this can happen when we carry excess weight, eat too many calories, eat a high-fat diet, and/or have chronic inflammation. Plant-based diets are rich in fiber, antioxidants, & micronutrients, and low or absent in saturated fat, animal protein, heme iron, advanced glycation endproducts, nitrosamines, & TMAO precursors - a potent combination that reduces fat buildup & helps restore insulin & beta-cell function. .

  1. This will ruffle some feathers 👇 But a few glasses of wine did not “ruin your life,” @steven. You had a normal physiological response to drinking alcohol. I’m a dietitian, & I honestly think having a few drinks with friends more often might be good for you. Hear me out. True, alcohol can affect sleep, appetite, focus, etc. The data also show that the more you drink, the greater your long-term risk of chronic disease. PMID: 28546524 But somewhere between the Yuka app and the Oura ring, we started interpreting everything we eat, drink, & do as inflammatory, damaging or toxic. That mindset has health consequences too. We now live in a world where:
• Your lunch has a letter grade
• Your metabolic response to food is a “glucose spike”
• Not hitting your protein goals means your muscle mass is deteriorating • Walking less than 10K steps is lazy Wellness culture IS the new diet culture. It normalizes hypervigilance. Catastrophizes moderation. Equates fun with danger. Turns life into one giant purity contest. The difference is that with wellness & biohacking, there’s no finish line or moment where you’re finally optimized enough. Meanwhile, the Mediterranean diet — one of the most well-studied lifestyle patterns associated with longevity & reduced chronic disease risk — has historically included not *just* wine, but conviviality, shared meals & connection. PMID: 38424420, 39940436 By contrast, social isolation is associated with significantly higher risk of disease & mortality in large meta-analyses. (PMIDs: 37337095, 25910392) So, bottom line: Go out. Have dinner and drinks with your friends. Be hungover sometimes. Part of being an adult is learning that not every uncomfortable experience is harmful — especially when the tradeoff was a great night spent with people you love. An imperfect workout, sleep score, or lower-productivity day will not ruin your health. What exactly are we trying to optimize ourselves FOR if we’re too afraid to actually enjoy our lives while we’re living them? Thoughts?

  2. If the new food pyramid made you feel something…👇 That’s the point. A big distinction getting lost in the conversation about the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans: The pyramid is the brand. The Guidelines are the product. Brand is about how something makes you feel. Product is about what it actually does. Our take: A lot of people needed to see the pyramid flipped to feel like we’re finally taking diet-related chronic disease seriously — even though we haven’t used a pyramid since 2011. Now, zoom out. When you read the actual Dietary Guidelines, the fundamentals are strong. •Fruits and vegetables throughout the day •Whole grains emphasized more clearly •Adequate protein at meals •Drink unsweetened beverages •Avoid ultra-processed packaged foods The saturated fat cap remains <10% of calories. Protein guidance is meaningfully higher (~1.2–1.6 g/kg). Whole grains are more clearly prioritized. Added sugar targets are tighter (<5-7%) and supported by the science. Here’s the part that often gets missed: The DGA are ultimately written for industry. Yes, they guide federal programs. Yes, they inform public health messaging. But industry is who uses them most — which is why certain recommendations matter so much. Capping added sugar at <10g per meal isn’t advice for individuals; it’s a signal for product formulation, reformulation, and innovation. The Guidelines have always tried to balance what’s ideal with what’s realistic. That tension creates inconsistencies — and that’s where nutrition professionals come in. What deserves real critique: •Fiber is under-emphasized (≈95% of Americans fall short) •Non-nutritive sweeteners are grouped with added sugars despite a very different evidence base •It’s unclear how to reconcile inclusion of higher saturated fat foods with “limit sat fat intake to <10% of calories.” •Science and value-based language sometimes blur, fueling confusion. Bottom line: The science is largely solid — the real impact will come from how industry responds, federal programs implement it, and consumers experience it in real life.

  3. HARD NO 👇 Cyclospora is NOT a weight-loss strategy, people. Clearly this is satire, but just in case you’re wondering: Foodborne illness-induced “weight” loss is mostly low appetite + fluid loss—not some metabolic kickstart.  A parasitic infection may require antibiotics, diapers, strong plumbing, & weeks of symptoms that seemingly disappear, then return with a vengeance… or become severe enough to land you in the hospital. So if you’re considering eating bags of lettuce to get shredded: Don’t. On my feed, CyclosporaTok is a tale of two extremes: “Get sick to lose weight” on one side and “Stop eating produce to stay safe” on the other—including from doctors. Both are wrong. About 90% of Americans already fall short on vegetables, yet higher fruit & vegetable intake is consistently associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer & premature death (PMID: 28338764). So as an RD & mom of littles, here’s what I’m doing: Eating cooked veggies: Cyclospora dies at 158°F/70°C. Roasting, sautéing, steaming or microwaving until veggies are hot & tender throughout gets you there—no thermometer required. Serving snacks: I’m rinsing berries, grapes & cherry tomatoes under cool running water while rubbing/moving them around. Skip soap & produce wash: They’re not Cyclospora-killers & can leave residues we just don’t need. Washing peels & rinds: Bananas, citrus, & avocado have built-in protection, but rinse the outside so your hands or knife don’t transfer contaminants to the part you eat. Pausing bagged lettuce & salad kits: Leafy greens are eaten raw, have hard-to-clean layers, & washing can’t reliably remove Cyclospora. If I want salad, I’ll buy a whole head, discard the outer leaves, then rinse & rub the inner ones. Bottom Line: Be a person. Don’t chase food poisoning, but don’t let fear-mongering chase ALL produce out of your kitchen. Eat vegetables. Practice food safety. And skip raw bagged salads until we know more. Questions?

  1. for the last 6-9 months — we got reeeal honest about what supports our bodies. here’s some of what we’ve prioritized for healthy 🥚 + 🐟, and an easeful pregnancy: 1. choosing real, nutrient-dense meals prioritizing protein, minerals, and slow-digesting carbs to steady blood sugar, support hormones, and keep inflammation low. nothing restrictive — just giving our bodies the raw materials they need. 2. being conscious of caffeine limiting caffeine to support adrenal health, steady energy, and better sleep — all of which influence hormone balance and fertility. 3. no alcohol alcohol increases estrogen dominance, oxidative stress, impacts sleep quality, torches your gut microbiome, and slows recovery. removing it has been wonderful 4. targeted supplements & blood work magnesium for stress + sleep, omega-3s for hormone production, vitamin d, methylated folate and b vitamins — and a few key minerals based on our lab results, not guesswork. 5. clean environment + low-toxin living purging the home of synthetic fragrances, harsh cleaning products, and unnecessary chemicals to reduce endocrine disruption as best we can 6. getting outside upon waking (as often as we can) sunrise light anchors our circadian rhythm, improves cortisol timing, and helps with both sleep and progesterone production. it’s the simplest, most underrated fertility support. 7. strength training + nervous-system-friendly movement lifting stabilizes blood sugar and boosts metabolic health. pairing that with walks/outdoor steps keeps stress low and recovery high. higher intensity occasionally 8. evening light + cycle awareness & low-stress environment watching the sunset or dimming lights at home signals melatonin, supports deeper sleep, and helps regulate the next day’s hormones. tracking ovulation patterns and energy shifts helps me understand what my body needs in each phase. combined with slower evenings, boundaries, and calm routines, stress hormones don’t compete with reproductive hormones. also — been nerding out over EMF’s. phone on airplane mode often. screen usage boundaries. wifi off at night. etc! #fertility #ttc #engaged #hormonehealth
