A big part of the Nutrition Stripped lifestyle is not only taking care of your physical body, but also taking care of your mental and emotional wellbeing too. I’ve shared how I practice self care and self love, both of which are super important to me for staying balanced with a busy lifestyle. A big part of self care is spending time to nurture things that keep you feeling self love and that also impacts your body image. I’m often asked by clients and especially young women about how to have a healthy body image and not get bogged down with all of these “bikini diets”, “5 day beach body detox”, “beach babe workouts”, etc. that praise the notion of correcting or fixing something with your physical body before you can go to the beach. In actuality, so much of achieving this ideal body image all starts with our mental and emotional perspective! I wanted to chat a bit today with my good friend Nitika Chopra, who is a self love guru and healthy body image rockstar, chime in with her amazing tips. Her and I chat about these things on FaceTime often and it’s about time we share some of our conversation with you guys in hopes it’ll make you feel better and more confident.
When you are working towards living a healthy lifestyle and eating whole, you can spend a lot of mental energy on what you put in your body. Some of us may put a little too much energy towards our bodies that can lead to negative feelings about yourself and your body. Practicing mindful eating and self care is an important way to find balance in our mental states as well as physical. I’ll let Nitika take it from here!

One of the things I love the most here on Nutrition Stripped is that my girl McKel focuses on holistic health and not fast fixes and hard core results.
Using websites like Nutrition Stripped as a resource for nourishing and loving your body is a great way to support yourself on your own body acceptance journey.

Love is vital to our wellbeing– self love, loving others, and finding compassion in all. I hope that these words from Nitika help you to find love for yourself and your body. After all, our bodies are incredible machines that manage complex bodily processes every single minute of every day from digestion to muscle recovery.
How do you practice self care? Do you struggle with a healthy body image, and if so is the advice in this post helpful? Let me know in the comments so I’ll know what to write more of on the blog!
