Christmas Without the Health Crash: Your 4-Pillar Holiday Guide

Stop fighting with yourself over Christmas cookies. There's a better way.

In this episode, Dr. Orlena shares a powerful client story that changes everything about how we think about holiday eating. Imagine walking into a European patisserie—vanilla and sugar filling the air, pastries glistening behind glass—and genuinely, easily choosing just coffee. No internal battle. No guilt. Just... peace.

Here's what you'll discover:

✨ The difference between deprivation and true food freedom – Why the oscillation between desire and guilt keeps you stuck, and how to reach a place where saying no feels effortless (hint: it's not about willpower)

✨ Why it's not about what you eat between Christmas and New Year – The surprising truth about routines, the 80% rule across four health pillars, and why your other 50 weeks are what really matter

✨ The identity shift that makes healthy choices automatic – How adopting "I am someone who prioritizes my health and wellness" transforms decision-making from exhausting to effortless (just like being a non-smoker)

Plus, Dr. Orlena reveals her personal strategies for navigating holidays, the cocoa versus hot chocolate experiment that proves less sugar means less craving, and why her 17-year-old son's observation about "not entirely delicious" food is actually the highest compliment.

Whether you're hosting family dinners or traveling for the holidays, this episode gives you practical tools to enjoy the season without derailing your health—or feeling like you're missing out.

Ready to make this your healthiest, most enjoyable holiday season yet?
