Health doesn’t require catching up. It responds best to calm consistency.

If this week felt full emotionally, socially, or food-wise, you don’t need a reset. You need steadiness.

Try this instead:
🌱 One nourishing meal at a time
💧 Re-establish hydration
🥣 Return to warm, fiber-rich foods
😴 Prioritize sleep before “discipline”
🧘 Let your nervous system settle

Food Spotlight: Citrus → Winter’s Bright Digestive Ally

Citrus isn’t just refreshing its powerful winter nutrition.

Why citrus shines this time of year:
🍊 High in vitamin C for immune support
🦠 Feeds beneficial gut bacteria with soluble fiber
🩸 Helps improve iron absorption from plant foods
💧 Naturally hydrating when indoor air is dry

Easy ways to use it:
– Add segments to grain bowls or salads
– Squeeze lemon over roasted veggies
– Blend orange or grapefruit into vinaigrettes

A little brightness goes a long way during darker months.

Holiday weeks tend to trigger extremes: “I’m being perfect” or “I’ve already blown it.”

Neither supports your health.

Instead, aim for neutral consistency:
🥗 Anchor meals with plants and fiber
🍠 Include comforting carbs, your body needs them
🕰 Eat regularly to prevent blood sugar crashes
🍽 Enjoy cultural and family foods without guilt
💬 Drop the moral language around food

Health isn’t created (or lost) in one week. What matters is staying connected to your body even during busy seasons.

QUESTION: I switched to more whole-food meals, and now I feel colder during the day. Is that normal and what does nutrition have to do with it?

ANSWER:
When people shift from heavier, processed foods to lighter, higher-fiber, plant-forward meals, digestion becomes more efficient. Since your body isn’t working as hard to break down meals, your internal heat production can dip a little at first.

What helps:
🔥 Add warming foods: ginger, cinnamon, chili flakes, garlic
🥣 Include more warm meals over chilled ones
🧦 Don’t underestimate hydration — warm teas count!
🍲 Boost plant-rich protein + hearty starches (beans, oats, potatoes, squash)

As your metabolism adapts, most people notice temperature steadies again. Your body is recalibrating and thriving.

Holiday foods aren’t the enemy but balance makes them even better.

Here are festive ways to keep your plate energized and celebratory:
🎄 Add something fresh: a citrus salad, roasted veggies, or a bright slaw
✨ Use color as your guide: the more reds, greens, purples, and oranges, the more nutrients
🥗 Start with plants first: they help stabilize blood sugar and prevent overeating later
🥂 Hydrate between celebrations: even sparkling water counts
🕯️ Give yourself grace: one meal doesn’t define your month, your habits do

Enjoy the season with joy, color, and nourishment.

Before Cleveland Nutrition, I felt like I was constantly starting over every Monday. I’d do great for a few days, then crash. Now? I don’t feel trapped in that cycle anymore.
Once I learned how to build meals around whole, plant-forward foods, my energy became steady, my cravings calmed, and I’ve naturally lost 11 pounds without feeling deprived. For the first time, healthy eating feels simple and actually enjoyable.”

Food Spotlight: Leeks → Winter’s Sweet, Silky Superfood

Meet leeks — the mild, slightly sweet cousin of onions and garlic that deserves a winter spotlight.

Why leeks matter:
🧠 Rich in prebiotics that feed beneficial gut bacteria
💚 Contain kaempferol, a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant
🩺 Support heart health with natural compounds that help blood vessels relax
🥬 Offer gentle, easy-to-digest fiber for winter comfort

How to use them:
– Sauté into soups and stews for depth and warmth
– Roast with carrots or potatoes until caramelized
– Fold into frittatas or tofu scrambles
– Add to risottos, pastas, or grain bowls

Leeks turn cozy winter meals into gut-loving comfort.

Eating with the seasons isn’t just trendy it’s one of the simplest ways to support better health and a better budget.

Here’s why seasonal produce wins every time:
🌱 More nutrients: Picked at peak ripeness = higher vitamins + antioxidants.
💸 Lower cost: When farmers harvest in abundance, prices drop.
🌎 Eco-friendly: Less storage, fewer food miles, and lighter environmental impact.
😋 Better flavor: Seasonal food simply tastes the way it’s meant to.

December seasonal stars: citrus, winter squash, kale, cabbage, leeks, pears, cranberries.

Eat with the calendar and your body (and wallet) will thank you.

QUESTION: I’ve been eating more plant foods, but I wake up feeling puffy some mornings. Is this normal and what can I do about it? (Eating more plants but waking up puffy — is that normal?)

ANSWER: Totally understandable and yes, occasional morning puffiness can happen when you add more fiber-rich foods. As your gut adjusts, your microbiome is working overtime fermenting all that new fiber (a good thing!), which can cause temporary water retention.

To help your body adapt:
🌿 Add new foods gradually
💧 Stay hydrated — water helps fiber move comfortably
🥣 Include cooked veggies over raw in the early weeks
🥕 Try gentle digestive helpers like ginger or warm lemon water

Most people notice the puffiness disappears as their gut flora strengthens. Your body is simply recalibrating and it’s a sign of positive change.

Mid-December reminder: Don’t rush your way to January. Nourish your way there.
This season isn’t about perfection, it’s about consistency. Every plant-filled meal, every mindful moment, every small supportive habit carries you forward.
Progress doesn’t pause for the holidays. It simply shifts into a gentler rhythm.
