Ever feel like the holidays turn your eating habits upside down, leaving you tired, hangry, and craving all the things, no matter how hard you try to “be good”? What if the answer to feeling way more in control around food has nothing to do with cutting out your favorites, and everything to do with adding one simple combo into every meal? This episode is your personal roadmap for the real-life messiness of festive eating, where I break the myth that you have to start over in January to make progress and show you how a tiny shift can create massive results.

In episode 4 of our Holiday Eating Series, I’m diving into the number one tool that helps my clients ditch the holiday food guilt for good—and it’s not what you think. We’re talking about how these two ingredients act like brakes for your blood sugar, stopping the chaotic cycle of endless snacking and sugar crashes before it even starts. You’ll get doable, stress-free hacks for sneaking these powerhouse nutrients into breakfast, holiday dinners, and even on-the-go snacks. Plus, I’ll share my favorite mindset tweak to keep your holiday eating intentional, relaxed, and satisfaction-filled. It’s about crowding in nourishment, not cutting out joy.

Imagine moving through the holiday season with steady energy, real satisfaction after every meal, and zero panic about “ruining” your progress. By the end of this episode, you’ll have an easy action step that can transform how you approach food all year long—no more holiday brain fog, no more starting over, just simple strategies that fit your full, real life.
