Today on the podcast we have a wonderful conversation with Registered Dietician, Cookbook Author, and Blogger -- Maggie Michalczyk. Maggie is a lover of food, nutrition and all things pumpkin. Her blog and first cookbook, Once Upon A Pumpkin, which debuted in July is full of sweet, savory, and delicious recipes using all aspects of the superfood! Her seasonal approach to eating and love of pumpkin inspires delicious recipes year round.  

Maggie’s philosophy is rooted in science-based ways to eat more, stress less, and feel great about your body.  All of her recipes are nutrient dense, flavorful, easy to make, and fit a wide variety of diets. We have an incredible conversation today on her personal journey, nutrition, not letting fear hold you back, being food positive, and so much more!

Also, if you are listening to this episode on it’s release date, December 9th, tonight, we are hosting our first virtual coaching at 6pm PST. The theme is: How to Support Yourself with Food this Holiday Season. We will be sharing tips to improve your gut health, immunity, and enjoy food this holiday season!
