Ep 212: Allison and Ceara continue their 'How to Thrive in 2025' series. We discuss common nutrition mistakes, sharing personal experiences and insights on dietary trends, the importance of protein, and the challenges of maintaining a balanced diet.We emphasize the individuality of nutrition and the impact of lifestyle choices on health, while also addressing the complexities and misconceptions surrounding various diets. 

The conversation focuses on the relationship between eating habits, meal preparation, the importance of understanding individual satiation styles and the goal of consistency instead of perfection in dietary choices. We discuss the significance of whole foods, protein, fiber, and hydration. The conversation also highlights the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing mindset and the benefits of simplifying meal preparation techniques to support healthy eating habits.
