The holidays are meant for joy, connection, and celebration — but for many women managing bone health issues with osteoporosis or osteopenia, this season can feel stressful and full of temptation. In this solo episode, Debi shares her Holiday Survival Guide for Osteoporosis, offering empowering tips to help you enjoy the festivities without compromising your bone health.

You’ll learn how to make smart food swaps, manage stress, and keep inflammation down while still indulging in the flavors and fun of the holidays.


💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The most common holiday bone health pitfalls and how to avoid them
  • How to enjoy festive foods without triggering inflammation or bone loss
  • Simple ways to reduce stress hormones that weaken bones
  • Tips for staying hydrated and energized when celebrations get busy
  • How to honor your body’s limits and listen to your inner wisdom during the season

🧘‍♀️ Action Steps

  1. Plan ahead: Bring a bone-healthy dish to gatherings or swap out sugary treats for nutrient-dense options.

  2. Stay mindful: Enjoy your favorite foods slowly, savoring every bite — awareness reduces overindulgence.

  3. Hydrate and move: Drink water throughout the day and take short walks to keep your circulation and energy flowing.

  4. Prioritize rest: Sleep is when your body regenerates bone tissue — don’t let late nights steal your recovery time.

  5. Reset your mindset: One indulgent meal won’t break your progress; get back to your healthy habits the next day.
