Still, there are a plethora of swaps and switches that can be made that aid your body to restore balance and be fully available to create new life!

Healthy Eating and the Holidays
November 5, 2023 • Rianna Sanchez, MScN
Healthy eating during the holidays is tough; we frequently have conversations such as, “I shouldn’t be eating this,” “I guess this is my cheat day,” and “I’ll start eating better in January.” These are all common phrases heard during the holiday season. For many, the holiday season is synonymous with making nostalgic meals that feel like gut bombs later, leading to feelings of regret or adverse health reactions. But, the biggest issue is that the holidays are hedged in with sugar, sugar, and more sugar! How can you enter and exit the holiday season feeling empowered to eat mindfully, without missing out on all the fun that food brings to the holidays? Sign up for this Vitality Conversation, and learn the secrets to a happy (and healthy) holiday season!
