What we eat matters. It is my philosophy that food not only serves as fuel and nourishment, but as a

Curious what really happens in your body when you take a break from alcohol?
Read the full article on the Here & Human Wellness Substack, where I explore the physiological shifts that occur when alcohol is removed—and gentle, realistic ways to make the change feel supportive rather than restrictive.

Happy holidays, friends. 🤍

This week’s Substack shares a few meaningful updates — including the new name, Here & Human Wellness, and why it feels like the most honest reflection of how I want to show up in this space. It’s about being here (in this moment, even when it’s imperfect) and honoring our very real, very human lives as they are.

I’m also opening up more posts right now because the holidays can feel full in every way — emotionally, mentally, financially — and I want this writing to be a place of steadiness, not pressure.

Inside the post: reflections on presence, transition, body wisdom, healing, gentle movement, and the small ways we care for ourselves during busy seasons. Plus a cozy weekly menu, podcast updates, and what’s been unfolding in my own life lately.

Whether you read quietly, listen along, or simply pause for a breath — I’m grateful you’re here. However you show up is enough.

XO,
Jen 🤍

Episode 73 is a continuation of Episode 72, and Jen shares a personal update on her recovery from pelvic floor sling surgery, and what this season has taught her about aging, body changes, and self-compassion.

From laughing at the decision to tackle forehead wrinkles to finding joy in slow morning walks, she opens up about the unfiltered moments shaping her healing.

She also reflects on stepping away from running, rebuilding strength, and the freedom of her first dry runs back. This episode is an encouraging listen for anyone navigating recovery, midlife changes, or learning to move through life with more patience and grace.

Holiday treats don’t need to be perfect to be nourishing. 🤍

These recipes were created with real life in mind — busy days, sweet cravings, kids in the kitchen, broken candy canes, and the very human desire for comfort this time of year. Each one includes simple, whole-food ingredients that offer fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based nutrients to help steady energy, support mood, and keep blood sugar from riding the holiday rollercoaster — without taking the joy out of eating.

If you’re practicing being more present this season (instead of “better”), consider this your permission slip to choose foods that feel good physically and emotionally. No guilt. No perfection. Just nourishment, curiosity, and a little sweetness.

You can find each recipe on the McDaniel Nutrition blog by searching the recipe name — or by googling “McDaniel Nutrition + recipe name.” Choose one, choose all, or bookmark for later. There’s no rush.

Here’s to honoring your body, your mental health, and your humanness — one bite at a time. ✨

The holidays can hold so much joy… and also a LOT of to-dos, emotions, expectations, and “Did we move the elf?!” moments. 🎁😅

In this week’s Substack post, Jen shares five practices that have helped her stay present (not just productive) during the busy holiday season.

Check out the preview, then read the full post on Substack to dive deeper.
✨ “Here & Human” means we get to be BOTH — real humans, showing up with compassion.

Happy Holiday Season, friends. 💛

Understanding our brains can change the way we nourish ourselves. 💛

Today’s episode is all about supporting the body, especially when injuries or long-standing issues start getting in the way of activity.

From running setbacks to pelvic floor challenges, Jen talks about how easy it is for us to push through pain or feel stuck in old patterns we can’t quite explain. That’s why she also talks about one of the most powerful tools she’s added to her routine: Feldenkrais, and how it’s helps her move with more ease!

AND if you’re in St. Louis, you can experience it yourself at our upcoming Sober Sisters in STL event:

Black Friday can feel like a full-contact sport for our inboxes. 😅
And while I love a good deal as much as anyone, I also try to shop the same way I approach nutrition: mindfully, intentionally, and without pressure to “keep up.”

This week on the blog, I shared a few of my favorite “splurges I love (and secretly wish were cheaper)” — not because we need them, but because they genuinely make life a little easier and a little brighter. No guilt, no urgency, no “run, don’t walk”… just honest favorites.

If Black Friday shopping brings you joy, I hope you find something that supports your life well.
If you’re skipping it entirely, that’s equally wise and wonderful.

Wishing you a slow, cozy, joyful weekend — however you choose to spend it.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends.
