Thanks for keeping things real! Love the meal inspiration I get from seeing what you’re making

[@Phoenixcomplexx]

7 months postpartum starting my day with your what I eat in a days have given me the inspiration for meals everyday.

[@marybelaponte3068]

You look wonderful and strong. And know that we are also rooting you on.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Appreciate the support

[@RachelCaitlinMorenz]

Way to go, Mama! Thanks for sharing your experience and journey. Also, just a note for anyone watching who might be experiencing a longer recovery with their second, please know that you’re not alone! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

[@AutoBrush]

Loved seeing the home workouts! Thank you for sharing this with us 💜

Love Sage's big sister t-shirt & braids 🩷

[@angeliserna2857]

Loved your video, thanks for keeping it real. I am 9 months post-partum of my first baby… watching you gets me motivated to get my body back. ❤❤

[@SamanthaMahenthiran]

Loved your 5 Month Postpartum Update video Nikole ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yay! Thank you!

[@mikelynmckala]

Oakley watching you prep the food was too precious! He just had to see what was going on!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I know 🥹

[@alionaturcan4808]

always great videos!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Glad you like them!

[@krbarbara]

"I found you when Sage was 6 months old. I loved all your videos then. That's when my first son was born. Now my second son was born on the same day as Oakley. I swear it wasn't intentional :) Kisses from Hungary!"

[@ninarechin2531]

OMGGG Oakley is so long!!!! What is that cute burn orange outfit your wearing?? Link please. Can you please talk about what beauty products you use?

[@victoriapeterson4843]

I might have to try copilot once I feel ready to get back into it. That sounds like what I need. I'm only 3 weeks postpartum at the moment myself. However, I already can say I agree with you. This transition has been easier when it comes to feeling like myself. Even though I'm still in the newborn fog, the postpartum trimester can come so much more naturally. You have gotten me excited to get back into the gym, but I am listening to my body and I feel like I'll know when I'm ready. Thanks for always keeping things so real for us mommas out there. :)

[@petronegiovannoni1931]

Cannot wait to try out your salad dressing! Thanks for keeping it real, you are such an inspiration! Much love from South Africa 💖

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thank you for the love and support! Happy salad making 🥗

[@ridaqadri6292]

awesome videos! you are so inspiring :)

[@theamandizchannel]

I think the transition from not being a mom to becoming a mom is so shocking, beautiful but hard. That’s why the first time around it takes a whileeeee to feel like yourself again. Because you don’t really know who you are gonna be from now on! But the second time around….. you are freaking ready!!!! Hahaha Xoxo ❤❤❤

[@divyadewan9396]

Hi NIkole, try to avoid combing your hair while its wet or right after shower. Roots are open & very sensitive and are way more easier to come out with the pressure. Let it air dry a bit and then try it.

[@Fun_Sized_Gigi]

That’s my normal hair fallout from alopecia. I feel you on the frustration.

[@lourar.2800]

You look amazing 👏

[@day502222]

Us Moms are always comparing someone else’s PP journey. Thankyou for pointing out that no two will look the same

[@MysteryExodus]

I’m a first time mom with a 4 month old. I exercised my entire pregnancy and bounced right back. I’ve heard too that the second baby is harder to come back from, so that’s good to hear that you don’t feel that way.

[@christinaandrews5793]

Hello! Where did you get your yoga pants with the cross low-rise waist? I'm trying to find something like this for pregnancy and after. Also, I love your videos!

[@HolaYarii]

Im 2.5 months pp. thank you for posting these type of videos 😢 its been so difficult seen my new body

[@pallavisingh2912]

You are so cute!!! I love how you like to be so independent!!! Your financee is awesome but just seeing you go about your work while filming isn’t easy but you just inspire and calm me down about my own anxieties.. when I saw you with Oakley and cooking, I was like Go girl!!!!!! That’s how you need to be… HAPPPYYYY DOING YOUR THINGGG WIH YOUR LOVED ONES AROUND

[@goldysilberstein7411]

What camera do you use to video the vlog?

[@aminathifa4462]

Does anyone knows what collgen powder she use

[@gabbyborgerink5208]

I am almost 4 months postpartum (with my first!) and could not relate more! I’ve gone down in weight but my body shape is all different so nothing is fitting. Getting dressed was so frustrating so I am slowly buying new clothes that are my new style and that fit me! But for now leggings, loose tees and sweats are a go-to haha. Loved the video 😊

[@stephjose9401]

5 weeks PP with baby number two, and I feel SO weak. Recovery has been good as I didn't need stitches and had an all natural birth this time. I started walking 2 weeks PP, but I am still 22 lbs overweight. I'm hoping to gradually add weights after 6 weeks, and I definitely need to eat better, too! I am also trying to keep up my milk supply without pumping.

I actually developed a hernia in my bellybutton after baby so exercise was delayed-😢 I do like to see stuff you prep in the kitchen-was curious, did you started the KZbin on your own ? Or did your followers from your books asked you to create one?

[@goldysilberstein7411]

Hi Nikole what playmat is Oakley using? Can you please link it?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

It’s linked in my recent newborn must haves video!

[@mariamartins554]

Hi Nicole, How important is drinking water in regards to weight loss. Would love your opinion. Love your videos. Thanks 😊

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I think drinking water for just overall health is so important. Your body is made up of mostly water and it helps with so many functions. Anytime I have a headache it’s usually always because I didn’t drink enough water

[@mariamartins554]

True. Thank you for your reply.

[@araviajohnson1546]

Could you drop your dressing recipe pleeeeeeeze😁

[@HealthNutNutrition]

It’s in the description box 😉

[@patinazir8673]

If u losing alot of hair, do u have enough iron in your diet

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I’ve heard a few people saying that. I should get my levels checked

[@rachie8346]

What kind that bacon do you cook up? Thanks!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I look for ones without added sugars and nitrates

[@livingpositivelytoday]

Your body looks prettier. 👏

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Oh thank you!

[@maseeharassack7525]

Love your videos and how you always share as much as possible with us. I was sorely tempted to go at the one negative comment i saw but had to stop myself cos i dnt like negative people and dnt wanna interact with them but i had the strongest urge to defend you😂. ❤ you and your family and thanx for the motivation. Dnt get why if people feel triggered then they shud just stop watching the content and go watch something else. Why they feel the need to comment anout it honestly!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thanks for the support 🤎

[@tonii2019]

Question- Do you track your workouts through co-pilot only? Or do you also track through Apple fitness? P.S. Oakley is growing so much 👏

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Both! It connects automatically to the copilot app which is really cool. So it lets my coach know what movement I did on my watch

[@tonii2019]

@@HealthNutNutrition 🙌 thanks for sharing

I feel like a drowned rat 😂😂😂😂 what’s your go to heat protector? I’m looking for a new one.

Air dryer your hair is actually worse than blow drying! Optomal is using microfiber towel the drying on cool

[@vanessacostello4012]

Just had our second baby less than 2 weeks ago. I definitely agree so far that the experience/transition for me has been easier this time. But the phase of not feeling yourself is still tough. The first baby you can be in sort of a whirlwind and the time flies, the second one because you already have another child you can’t really afford to be that way. You have to be so much more present, can’t be on your phone because you have a toddler watching you, you need to limit tv & navigate toddlerhood emotions. So in some ways it’s easier and in other ways it’s not.

[@Nicole-zv7ee]

Nikole......I feel like you are brushing your hair way too rough.....maybe be much much softer when you brush, and maybe that would help you lose less hair......there is also a supplement called "Viviscal" that is good to prevent hair loss.

[@TaylorParnell]

SO INSPIRED BY YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤ JUST FOUND OUT IM PREGNANT ❤❤❤❤❤❤ HOPE TO DOCUMENT MY JOURNEY JUST LIKE YOU ON MY CHANNEL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lorelwebber6435]

Sleep regressions don’t exist it’s literally just growth spurts who also weirdly correlate with injections if you choose to do that. That’s what causes the drama and health fails that lead to irritability and no sleep.

[@surlespasdondine]

ok😂

[@MysteryExodus]

Interesting. My 4 month isn’t vaccinated and we’ve had no sleep regression.

[@autismenlightenment]

Your hair might be curly

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yea it definitely has some wave to it. I should try the curly girl method and see if I can get some good curls haha

[@autismenlightenment]

@@HealthNutNutrition i think the stuff i use is called love your curls. I put it on wet and then scrunch and let it air dry. Would look super cute and effortles on you! You are a natural beauty
