Real Health

Announcing my special new gig……

RealHealthslider

A year-long blogging partnership writing for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’s new Real Health site! I am thrilled to have accepted this amazing opportunity to write for Anthem as a dietitian and mother. Once a week on Mondays you’ll find my posts and videos sharing stories about food, nutrition and motherhood on the Real Health website.

The program is an initiative of Anthem’s to share health stories and spark conversations around health within its larger community. The program is called Real Health because the implicit promises include making health information and inspiration more real by helping people connect with people who are like them when it comes to daily health habits.

I’m joined by a diverse team of bloggers and topics from different walks of life: Harold, Rosemary & Phyllis, RJ and Toni.

I had to miss a trip to NYC near my due date to kick off the program, but that’s why they sent a video crew to me : )

My first series of posts focus on pregnancy and becoming a mom, and later I’ll be writing more about nutrition and food.

Hope you’ll consider following me over to Real Health and hearing more!

  6. Congratulations! So inspiring. And I always love to hear your slightly southern accent, maybe because my boyfriend is from NC and the twang comes out sometimes. 🙂

  8. Looks like a great opportunity for you — congrats!

    I’ve been without internet for a few days now, so I’m catching up on Mazen’s birth story and first days at home. As the mother of a 14-month-old, it’s great that you’ll have this blog to look back on, because the first months are really such a blur.

  20. Congrats and how exciting! This is HUGE!!

    And your Mazen just may eat veggies right away! My one year old loves carrot juice straight from the juicer and calls spinach smoothies her “favorite smoothie juice!” My preteens eat their veggies too, so you never know. . .

  22. Glad to know my insurance company is doing something worthwhile with my premiums! So funny that the cover shot is already outdated as you’re no longer smuggling a basketball in your shirt!

  26. Congrats on the awesome oppertuntity! ….. I’m not a fan of “oh you just wait till your kid _______” (like your not eating vegetables example) I always want to scream “well, that doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t try or make excuses” I’m going to give it my all!

  29. Congratulations, Kath! We are BC/BS Anthem members!
    (By the way, I don’t think you have a twang at all, but I’m also a Southerner.)

  53. Kath,

    Let me say, on behalf of the entire Real Health Team at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, how excited we are for the year ahead. We are going to learn so much from you, Matt and Mazen.

    This is a shared experience for all involved, including our members and your readers. If anyone wants to hear more from the program contributors on certain topics, feel free to email [email protected].

    We recognize that not every story on how to approach a situation will work for everyone. But that’s exactly what hopefully will make Real Health special for KERF readers and everyone else – an aggregation of stories that help people make their own choices and get numerous perspectives on similar topics.

    Welcome to Real Health.

  54. Congrats, Kath–what an exciting opportunity!! I clicked over to look at your profile and it looks like they’ve changed your profile picture on their website? It’s different from the one on here? Anyways, congrats and I look forward to following along!!

  58. Ciao Kath,

  59. I’ve been a reader for many years and really enjoy your blog. I just wondered what your thoughts were about getting involved with a company that has campaigned against health care reform. This is not meant to be a criticism – I’m British so find the idea of health insurance and not having universal coverage really hard to get my head round!

  61. Thats awesome! What a great opportunity! Loved watching the vid, you come across really well! On a side note (As I’ve not commented for a few posts!) I hope everything is going great with baby Mazen Duke! He’s such a cutie and that little pout of his is to die for! 🙂
