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.

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
