Maintaining healthy habits can feel nearly impossible for first responders during the holidays. It's easy to let progress slip between demanding schedules, seasonal stress, and limited meal options.
In this episode, I sit down with Megan Lautz, a dietitian specializing in wellness for first responders, to discuss how small, consistent choices—what Megan calls "Better Bad Decisions"—can keep you on track even in challenging circumstances.
Megan shares practical strategies for navigating limited meal options, staying energized, and managing cravings during busy shifts and holiday gatherings. Her advice is realistic and actionable, designed to fit the unique demands of a first responder lifestyle.
Whether you’re choosing the best fast-food option on the go or preparing for a holiday meal, this episode will inspire you to maintain momentum rather than start over in January.
