How To Have Your Healthiest, Happiest Holiday Season

Written By Nicole Hagen

Because adopting a “fuck it” mindset until January 1st will only ensure that any progress you make in the future will fall apart this time next year.

The 🔑 to creating a healthy relationship with food and fat loss that lastsss is to learn how to confidently navigate nutrition in ✨every✨ season.

Here are a few of my best tips + tricks:

RE: EVENTS 🥂

1️⃣ Plan ahead. Not every event needs to be a 15 Christmas cookies and cocoa kind of occasion. Identify what means the most to you and commit to making goal-supportive choices outside of those events.

2️⃣ Identify the priority. Is it food? Or the company?

3️⃣ Show up satisfied, not starving

4️⃣ Meet NEEDS and WANTS when filling your plate

RE: MINDSET 🧠

5️⃣ Set realistic expectations regarding progress and outcomes based on how you intend to show up.

6️⃣ Acknowledge that you can eat any food any day of the year, and that this will not be your last holiday

7️⃣ Prioritize flexibility, not perfection

8️⃣ Maintain your basic self-care action steps to minimize stress, overwhelm, and emotional eating

A Nutrition Coach, adoptive mom, dog mom, and mint chocolate chip ice cream lover.

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
