Let’s talk maintaining wellness on the road:

First of all-it ain’t easy. So if you travel for work and struggle with this I feel you. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re doing your best. Here are a few things I’ve started doing over the years that make it easier and help me. (And this is specific to me! I’ve worked with a dietitian to help me make some specific dietary choices, I recommend you do the same)

-order groceries and have them delivered ahead of time to your hotel. I need things like a protein rich breakfast and healthy snacks to bring to work as sometimes that can be hard to come by on-site. I have a little toaster I travel with. 

-find local gyms/exercise classes that you like. Makes you feel like you’re doing your usual home routine. I’ve been rotating between Orange Theory, Pilates, and hot yoga

-drink as much water as possible- don’t skip on electrolytes after a flight especially. I like the drinklmnt brand 

-prioritize sleep. I always have a peppermint tea before bed and for the first few days in a new time zone, take a little melatonin. Just use the coffee maker in your hotel room for hot water. 

-have your caffeine but not TOO much. I don’t have more than my first morning coffee or cappuccino. No afternoon caffeine 

-get outside for some sunlight 

-stick to your skincare routine and creature comforts that make you feel like you’ve got your normal routine 

-a personal preference- I try to limit alcohol on the road and I also don’t eat a lot of meat. I find great restaurants on the road where I can get healthy, protein rich, mostly plant based meals. But every once in a while, a burger and red wine call to me. I eat a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, and green smoothies
(Green smoothie I get is- spinach, banana, almond milk, cucumber, chia, flax, protein…or Greek yogurt if they have it for a natural source of protein)

-if you want a damn piece of pizza or a little treat or whatever-you do you boo. And don’t even think about feeling guilty about it. Eat what you want to eat. Do what you wanna do. Whatever it takes to keep vibes up on the road!
