Reintroducing Healthline Nutrition

I was a vegetarian from childhood through my mid-twenties, mostly existing on fruit, yogurt, cheese, bread, and pasta. My partner still likes to tease me about being a “milk-tarian.”

What I didn’t understand then is that any diet, especially one that removes certain foods, requires planning and balance. I started planning more balanced meals that included a variety of food groups when I moved to Iceland in 2015. I also started eating fish, which is fresh and plentiful here. A mostly pescatarian diet is what works for me.

However, that doesn’t make it the right diet or eating pattern for you. Healthy eating is a journey — one that changes over time — and you have the power to determine which foods and eating pattern make you feel your best.

That’s why our Nutrition coverage is all about healthy eating in the context of your real life. We know that for healthy eating to be doable and sustainable, it has to be realistic. You are at the center of your healthy eating journey, and we are here to support you in finding a long-term, healthy eating pattern that works for your needs, preferences, and culture.

We aim to help bridge the gap between intentions and actions by providing realistic nutrition information paired with actionable takeaways you can implement in your life today, like our Just One Thing challenge, which debuts in our Nutrition newsletter on Monday. All subscribers will receive these exclusive tips — one a day for 20 days — to help them build positive and sustainable habits when it comes to nutrition.

To us, healthy eating is not about every dietary decision you make, but rather the overall trends of your choices — what your habits are like most of the time. Our articles are written and medically reviewed by registered dietitians — who are experts in their fields but real people, too. They have their own healthy eating journeys, and they’re happy to share those perspectives with you.

Our aim is to meet you where you are in your healthy eating journey, whether you want to learn about supplements, dive into meal prep, focus on weight management, discover diets, shop, or learn about eating for specific health conditions. We want to help you implement doable, lasting change that you can put into action today with our “just one thing” takeaways — which you’ll see in our upcoming newsletter challenge, and on our article pages, too.

I’m beyond excited about our new direction, and I hope you are, too. We know healthy eating is hard, and you’re not alone in this. We’re in it together.

Before meals in Iceland, we say “gjörðu svo vel.” It means “here you go,” and invites everyone to dive in and begin eating. With that, I welcome you to Healthline Nutrition.
