Does anyone have recommendations for good dieticians in Dallas or anywhere in Texas that do virtual appointments?

Bonus if they’re South Asian or at least familiar with South Asian food/culture. I’m starting to realize that a lot of generic nutrition advice doesn’t fully translate to how I actually eat or grew up eating, and I think it might help to work with someone who understands that context.

I wanted to ask people what “movement hacks” or systems they use on days where their energy is completely gone.

Some days I’m productive and active, but other days I feel like I got hit by a truck. Not just “I don’t feel like it,” but more like mentally and physically heavy. On those days I end up barely moving around, and then I spiral into feeling guilty and wondering if I’m just lazy or weak.

People always say “be kind to yourself,” but honestly I struggle with that because part of me feels like I’m just making excuses. It also doesn’t help that I feel like I’ve become way too sedentary lately (joint pains) and have started gaining weight.

So I’m curious what practical things people actually do to reduce friction and get themselves moving when motivation and energy are low. Tiny habits? Rules? Environmental tricks? Apps? Walking while doing something else? Accountability? Anything that helps stop the “do nothing all day” spiral.

Especially interested in hacks that work when your brain feels like it’s fighting you and everything feels harder than it should.
