I recently had the incredible honor of speaking at the NABIP National Conference in Miami on a panel dedicated to Women’s Health in the Workplace. It was a powerful experience, and I’m still feeling the energy and inspiration from the conversations we had.
Sharing the stage with such passionate and knowledgeable panelists (Dr, Jessica Sheperd and Dr. Karinn Glover, each brought something unique and deeply valuable) reminded me of how urgently we need to shift how we support women in the workplace. It’s time we stop treating women’s health as a side conversation and instead recognize it for what it truly is: a business strategy.
Supporting women’s health isn’t just about providing benefits—it’s about building a workplace culture that sees, values, and responds to the whole person. That means acknowledging the impact of hormones, life stages, chronic conditions, caregiving roles, and more. And one of the most powerful and underutilized tools we can use? Nutrition.
Food has the ability to heal, restore energy, and prevent disease—and it should be a foundational part of how we care for and empower women at work.
A major highlight of the conference for me was hearing Vani Hari speak. Her story gave me goosebumps. She’s a true crusader—relentless, mission-driven, and full of grit. Her work to improve the transparency and quality of our food system is nothing short of inspiring.
And to top it all off, I had the bonus joy of seeing an old friend, Ross Bernstein, speak. If you’ve ever heard Ross, you know his energy is infectious and his insights always leave an impression.
Thank you to NABIP for elevating these critical conversations. I’m grateful to be part of the movement to bring women’s health—and food is medicine—into the heart of the workplace.
Until next year, Miami!
