About

Hi and welcome to Nutrition Nut on the Run!

I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m Hillary Parker — the health nut behind this blog. Originally from the foggy, coastal Redwood tree haven that is Humboldt County, California, I attended college amongst the almond orchards and dry valley heat in Chico, California where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Food & Nutrition Communication. Immediately after college, I worked in employee wellness for a family-owned craft brewing company (clue: iconic Pale Ale) for over five years. At the start of 2018, I said goodbye to my full-time job as a Wellness Coordinator, packed up my belongings, and said hello to the adventure of moving across the country! I currently live in the lush and hellishly-humid Tampa Bay, Florida area with my boyfriend, Nick, and our sweet fur-child, Koba.

Nutrition Nut on the Run began in 2009 (at the young age 20) when I was a student at Chico State University. A near-death experience as a young adolescent guided me from a restrictive teen and curious culinarian to pursuing a life-long passion for holistic health and wellbeing. Given that I have always enjoyed writing, I was intrigued by the art of blogging to share my healthier lifestyle with others. Almost nine years later, I am grateful for this platform that allows me to be creative while documenting memorable meals to milestones of my twenties (i.e. graduating college and becoming a certified health coach to training for half-marathons, international travel and saying goodbye to my full-time job in corporate wellness/moving across the country).

While I am undeniably a foodie and fitness enthusiast, I believe that wellbeing is so much more than the food we eat and how much we exercise. Here you will find posts about my personal health journey, exercise endeavors & workouts, eating intuitively as I continually experiment with food that makes me feel my best, travel adventures, dialogue about self-compassion & self-love, plus everyday tips to enjoy the perfectly imperfect moments and beautiful mess of this thing we call life! My hope is that by reading Nutrition Nut on the Run, you will be encouraged to explore your healthiest, happiest life.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
