Welcome to Rhythm, Routine, and Reverence!

In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Van Ark. Hannah is a dietitian, mom of two little ones, and former clinical nutrition researcher on a mission to help other moms feel energized, well-fed, and confident in feeding themselves and their families with a plant-forward lifestyle. She holds degrees in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a Master’s in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Colorado State University. She’s also a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over six years of experience in clinical nutrition research, where she focused on how food can impact heart health and longevity. These days, Hannah specializes in helping families create realistic, flexible mealtime routines, but with a particular focus on helping mom prioritize THEIR needs and health goals with a plant-forward lifestyle. She lives in Colorado, USA with her husband and two kids.

Together we talk about building a plant-forward family culture (not a vegan one) — one rooted in nourishment, connection, and ease. From picky eaters to meal planning, Hannah shares her research-based insights on helping families eat more plants without pressure.
