Rianna has her Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Psychology and her Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition. She enjoys educating and empowering others to know how to nourish and protect the body God has gifted them with.

"It's no secret a lot of things need to go right to get pregnant, but how come it's harder now than ever before? There are many factors present in our everyday lives that work against our body's natural ability to create life. Still, there are a plethora of swaps and switches that can be made that aid your body to restore balance and be fully available to create new life! It is also important to note that male fertility is equal in physiological importance to female fertility for a couple's ability to get pregnant. Males and females are both welcome as you embark on the wonderful journey to parenthood."

Join Rianna Sanchez as she educates on the basics of fertility, factors of infertility, and lifestyle tips that can help the body get pregnant and stay pregnant!

Healthy Eating and the Holidays

November 5, 2023 • Rianna Sanchez, MScN

Healthy eating during the holidays is tough; we frequently have conversations such as, “I shouldn’t be eating this,” “I guess this is my cheat day,” and “I’ll start eating better in January.” These are all common phrases heard during the holiday season. For many, the holiday season is synonymous with making nostalgic meals that feel like gut bombs later, leading to feelings of regret or adverse health reactions. But, the biggest issue is that the holidays are hedged in with sugar, sugar, and more sugar! How can you enter and exit the holiday season feeling empowered to eat mindfully, without missing out on all the fun that food brings to the holidays? Sign up for this Vitality Conversation, and learn the secrets to a happy (and healthy) holiday season!
