NINA CUCINA - CREATOR OF NINA CUCINA LIFESTYLE JUMPSTART

Nina Cucina is the founder of the Nina Cucina Lifestyle Jumpstart – a unique nutritional and lifestyle

program that transforms adversity into long-term wellness success. Her method, Nina Cucina

Lifestyle Eating™, was originally born from a personal mission: helping her husband lose weight and

overcome major health issues through clean, delicious eating. The result? A 60-pound weight loss and

a revitalized lifestyle – and a new purpose for Nina.

Raised in a family restaurant where her father was a chef-owner, Nina’s foundation in the value of

nutritious, flavorful food started early. Already a talented gourmet cook, she adapted her culinary

expertise to develop gluten-free, grain-free, nutrient-dense meals that deliver vibrant health without

sacrificing taste.

Realizing that her approach was not just effective but life-changing, Nina went on to author two

health-focused cookbooks and landed her own local NBC cooking show,“Healthy Cooking with Nina

Cucina.” She later starred in a Food Network series,“Wild and Spicy with Nina Cucina,” blending

adventurous travel with the joy of cooking healthy, flavorful dishes.

Today, Nina combines her method with personalized health coaching to help women over 50 look and

feel their best. Her equation for optimal wellness – Healthy Eating + Fit Living = Being Well –

empowers her clients to take control of their health, eat more (and more deliciously), and lose fat

No one is immune to struggle! It is an awful feeling when you think everything is going wrong and your cortisol level is through the roof!

My advice? Give it to God. Stop trying to manage everyone and everything.

I know it is a hard especially with family but protect your sanity!

Here is the reminder I shared in this episode from Bejamin Lundquist

Your mind is a battlefield and the enemy wants you to lose it.

Over thinking will drain your energy worry or freezer potential.

Fear will rob you of peace.

God already secured for you.

Not every battle is yours to fight.

Not every burden is yours to carry.

Lay down what you cannot fix.

Release what you cannot control. Trust the One who holds it all together.

of peace God already secured for you. Not every battle is yours to fight. Not every burden is yours to carry. Lay down what you can't fix.

Release what you can control.

And trust the one who holds it all together.

Stop obsessing over the future start trusting God today.

Your peace is a gift – don't trade it for anxiety.

Protect your mind. Anchor your faith. Keep moving forward. what you can control. is a gift – don't trade it for anxiety. God is already working behind the scenes. The miracle is coming!

I hope that speaks to you as it did to me ! Sometimes I get so into my own head I forgot to give it to God! When I do everything changes.

I am not a therapist just a believer who knows how much struggle can really hurt our lives. I wish nothing but the best for each of you!
