Happy Healthy Holidays!
Do you struggle with the highs and lows of your health and wellness that accompany the holiday season? You want to make healthy choices and stay “on track” but the festive months full of parties, gatherings, and temptations seem to always derail you…
We have all been there: feeling BLAH after the last two months of constant intake of treats, sweets, and sips that don’t exactly align with our goals of balanced and healthy nutrition.
While I never promote an “all or nothing” mindset (either being too strict and depriving yourself of anything you like vs. throwing all caution to the wind and indulging with abandon) - I do believe that we can navigate the overwhelm of the holidays with a mindset of balance and enjoyment.
