Holiday Cravings
Hey friends, the holidays are coming, and so are the holiday cravings. Am I right?
So many clients and listeners find this time of year to be incredibly challenging for their human suits, their hearts, and even their spirits. Despite the joyful season, often we are overindulging in food and alcohol, overindulging in expectations and what others demand of us, overstressed and just plain worn out. This serves to significantly increase our inflammation and decrease our health and wellness. It’s the same for all but scales up when you are living with a chronic illness.
So in today’s episode, we are going to talk about the holidays and food and cravings. About indulging in those things you wait all year long for in the least health-damaging way. (Next week we will talk about the energetic and emotional stress too.)

Holiday Cravings Introduction
Hey friends, the holidays are coming, and so are the holiday cravings. Am I right?
So many clients and listeners find this time of year to be incredibly challenging for their human suits, their hearts, and even their spirits. Despite the joyful season, often we are overindulging in food and alcohol, overindulging in expectations and what others demand of us, overstressed and just plain worn out. This serves to significantly increase our inflammation and decrease our health and wellness. It’s the same for all but scales up when you are living with a chronic illness.
So in today’s episode, we are going to talk about the holidays and food and cravings. About indulging in those things you wait all year long for in the least health-damaging way. (Next week we will talk about the energetic and emotional stress too.)
Intro
Welcome if this is your first time listening - I’m Audrey Christie - I’m a functional and integrative nurse nutritionist and energy medicine practitioner. I help women start their very own Autoimmune Revolution so you can stop chasing symptoms and learn how to heal your body from autoimmune disease.

What there definitely is though, is a foundation that you can build to help make healing faster and easier, to help to create health, no matter where you are on your journey.

If you are inundated with food and drinks from Mid-November through New Years and maybe on into the Superbowl and you combine it with stress, anxiety, emotional ties to the food AND then the family stuffs and budget stuffs that happens - you have a big recipe for big inflammation and effects that last long after the holiday joys wear off.
As I mentioned, I hear from many more of my clients and listeners this time of year who find the holiday season to be extremely challenging, and I completely get it. I hear from my friends and connections a lot of “I wish my h...
