On track during the holidays

Kyle Hotz, ACE; Owner and Founder of Higher Heights Fitness • November 10, 2025

Christmas cookies, that second piece of pie, and maybe an extra cocktail or two are consumed with an “It’s the holidays, time to celebrate” excuse.


Joining sleigh bells and tinsel, fruitcake and ugly sweaters, one thing we see over the holidays is people going off the rails when it comes to their nutrition.


Christmas cookies, that second piece of pie, and maybe an extra cocktail or two are consumed with an “It’s the holidays, time to celebrate” excuse.


All of this comes with a toll. Overindulging can detract from how much you enjoy the holidays. Eating too much sugar, refined carbs, alcohol and processed fats (looking at you, egg nog) will leave you feeling bloated, tired and moody. Conversely, making small and positive nutritional improvements can boost your holiday cheer.


The trainers and nutritional coaches at Higher Heights Fitness love the holidays and want you to love them, too.


One of the unique things about the philosophy of our Nutrition Program is the art of making healthy swaps. For someone with a sweet tooth, we show them ways to substitute stevia or honey for sugar. 


Through convenient virtual coaching via our new app—Everfit—Nutrition Coach Brendan Faloon will review your current eating and create a healthy and balanced diet, complete with recipes, to improve your overall well-being. 


How are you going to show up this holiday season?
