Ever wondered why holiday eating leaves you feeling out of control, snacky all day, or totally wiped out? What if I told you that feeling "off" around food this time of year has nothing to do with willpower or discipline but everything to do with two simple nutrients missing from your meals?

In episode 4 of our Holiday Eating Series, I spill my absolutely game-changing secret for navigating the season so you never have to start over in January. I’m unpacking the real culprit behind holiday overeating, and showing you exactly how to make your next meal keep you satisfied for hours (not minutes), using nutrition tools you can actually put to work today.

You’ll get practical swaps for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks and discover why carbs and sugar are your body’s gas pedal (and how to hit the brakes with ease). Plus a mindset shift that breaks the punishing cycle of restriction for good.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have the confidence and a game plan to walk into every holiday event steady, energized, and in control, no matter what’s on the table. If you’re ready to transform your plate, your mood, and your holidays, hit play and let’s dive in.
