Listen "E96: From Steelers To Seniors: A Dietitian’s Playbook to Fuel Your Most Nutritious Life"
Episode Synopsis
What makes Leslie Bonci with Active Eating Advice by Leslie Bonci a good neighbor? Think eating well has to feel like punishment? Registered dietitian Leslie Bonci joins us to flip that script with an approach built on addition, not fear. From her Pittsburgh roots to decades with elite teams like the Steelers and the Chiefs, Leslie shares how Active Eating Advice helps real people create plates they can enjoy and sustain- without the fads, "dreadlines", or food policing.We dig into the biggest myths that keep folks stuck: the idea of “bad” foods, the obsession with superfoods, and the misplaced hope that supplements can replace meals. Leslie’s take is refreshingly direct: food is the cake and supplements are the icing. She maps out how to build a better plate with simple, repeatable moves- spread protein across the day, time carbs to match activity, prioritize hydration and fiber for digestion, and make room for what you actually like to eat so it sticks.Leslie also explains how collaboration with physicians and physical therapists can change outcomes for patients working on rehab, body composition, or chronic conditions. Her sports nutrition mindset translates to everyday life: fuel before you go, recover after, and choose habits you can maintain when travel, family, or work gets hectic. We get to know the person behind the plan too- daily movement, a love of jazz, and the joy of spoiling grandkids- because sustainable nutrition has to fit a full life, not the other way around.If you want to trade restriction for results you can keep, this conversation is your playbook. Hit follow, share with a friend who’s tired of food fear, and leave a review with your top nutrition question- we’ll bring more answers your way.To learn more about Active Eating Advice by Leslie Bonci go to: http://www.activeeatingadvice.com/Active Eating Advice by Leslie Bonci (412)559-5974
