The holidays are something I look forward to every year. It’s a beautiful time spent coming together with friends and family in celebration. But there will always be certain challenges that come with the changes in environment, routine, etc. And It can be really hard to figure out how to navigate these get-togethers and support yourself and your health at the same time.

I offer my three biggest tips in this episode to help you navigate the holiday season and still come out on top with your health. These are things that I have learned over the years and found to be personally helpful, and I hope you can take something away from these as well. I want you to be able to have a fulfilling holiday season full of everything you enjoy, while still finding ways to incorporate habits and options for yourself that support your health.
