5 Healthy Holiday Reminders:

Written By Nicole Hagen

  1. If you love stuffing/pie/mashed potatoes/Christmas cookies and want a second serving, go for it girlfriend! If you don’t love stuffing/pie/mashed potatoes/Christmas cookies, feel free to pass. No one knows what feels best for your body better than YOU do.

  2. A single day has absolutely NO impact on your health or body composition. Your outcomes are the result of what you do mosssst of the time, not on major holidays.

  3. Unsolicited food and body comments mean nothing about you and everything about the person making the comment. Feel free to ignore, change the topic, or clap back.

  4. Restriction always leads to overeating. Resist the notion to “save” calories for big meals/events. Eat normally and show up ready to eat, not ravenous.

  5. If you feel less than confident around food and in your body as we head into the holiday season and you want to change that moving forward, commit to prioritizing LONG-TERM health and body composition change with your holiday purchases, rather than buying things you’ll no longer be benefitted by two months from now.

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.
