Nutrition: Practical Strategies to eat better
“Finding Your Fit: A Balanced Approach to Nutrition”
Nutrition isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. True wellness comes from finding a sustainable balance between quality of nutrition, price, taste, emotional connection, and ease of use — all tailored to your real-life needs. Here’s what a balanced approach to each of these categories can look like:
⸻
🧪 Quality of Nutrition:
Choose products that offer high-quality protein, fiber, vitamins, or whole ingredients — but don’t stress if every item isn’t perfectly “clean.” Balance comes from nutrient density over time, not from obsessing over a single label. A 7/10 quality product you use consistently often serves you better than a 10/10 option you can’t stick with.
⸻
💰 Price:
Wellness doesn’t need to break the bank. Look for items that give good value per serving, and don’t be afraid to mix premium products with more affordable ones. Shopping sales, buying in bulk, or rotating products helps keep nutrition sustainable and accessible — because the best choice is one you can keep making.
⸻
😋 Taste:
If it doesn’t taste good, it won’t last. Flavor matters — especially in staples like protein shakes or snacks you consume daily. Choose options you look forward to, and feel free to add spices, cocoa, fruit, or coffee to make them your own. Enjoyment is part of nourishment.
⸻
💛 Emotional Connection:
Sometimes a food soothes your nervous system, reminds you of safety, or simply helps you feel cared for. That matters too. A single slice of comfort sourdough or a bedtime yogurt bowl may serve you emotionally in ways that support long-term consistency and healing. Food isn’t just fuel — it’s connection, memory, and grounding.
⸻
🧩 Ease of Use:
The best food is the one you’ll actually prepare and eat. Prioritize convenience when needed — pre-washed greens, frozen berries, ready-to-drink protein, or simple recipes that don’t overwhelm. Especially during stressful periods, simplicity can make or break consistency.
⸻
In the end, it’s not about perfection. It’s about creating a system that supports your goals while honoring your life, body, and capacity. Flexibility is the foundation of sustainable nutrition.
My new book does not directly tackle any one specific lifestyle goal but instead provides strategies and approaches you can apply to any area you are seeking to create positive change . My work around nutrition, fitness, and weight loss lend themselves into my beliefs, personal practices, and coaching. I continue to experience personal change in ways that are sustainable, progressive, and both rewarding and enjoyable. The Light Switch Myth lays the foundation for creating this type of relationship towards growth and change .
