About The Author

Nicole O'Neal, MS, RDN, is a disordered eating recovery advocate. After spending decades trapped in the cycle of dieting and restriction, Nicole dedicated herself to breaking free and ensuring her own children would never inherit the same struggle. A two-time Emmy Award-winning television producer for shows including The Dr. Oz Show, The Today Show, The Mel Robbins Show, and WPix11 Morning News, she’s spent years crafting messages that connect with audiences on a deeply personal level.

Through her Instagram account @mondaydieter, Nicole shares her journey as a mother navigating diet culture, food freedom, and raising kids who will never have to fight the same battle. Her viral Girl Scout cookie post sparked a national conversation about how we talk to children about food. Nicole lives in San Diego with her husband and two children, where dessert is sometimes served before dinner.
