062: Why the Holidays are the BEST Time to Set Health Goals

Lizzie Ens Show

Have you ever wondered why so many people wait until January 1st to start their health resolutions, only to give up a few weeks later? Why not break the mold and start a new health journey as the holiday season approaches instead?

This episode of The Lizzie Ens Show is my exclusive take, where we explore how embracing lifestyle changes now can offer you substantial benefits and lasting success. With a focus on practical tips and mindset shifts, I encourage you to make health a priority now—not just wait until the new year to start. Through client success stories and my personal insights, I share strategies for staying on track, even during the busy holiday months.

I challenge the common belief that the holidays are a “bad” time to begin health goals. Today is always the right time to start. I also share actionable tips on setting boundaries, balancing enjoyment with health, and creating sustainable habits that last beyond the season.
