Christmas season is well and truely in full swing. This can be a stressful time for people, especially regarding food.

Today I welcome Sarah Hawkins of F.I.G. Nutrition back to the podcast to speak about the effects this can have and how to manage this

We discuss how this time of year food and drink are abundant and how this can be difficult to navigate if you struggle with digestive issues or disordered eating patterns

That when you give yourself permission to eat certain foods you will eventually get sick of them

Looking a food that you have rules about and where they come from

How prevalent undereating still is and the effect this has on our overall health

The importance of adding foods into our diets instead of cutting out everything

The problem of different holistic professionals giving out advice without having any actual training in nutrition and the damage that it can do

We also discuss how if you want to start a certain type of diet you have to be ready to do it forever and if you can't see that as part of your life long-term, it's not for you

That success is in the middle ground

Sarah also gives some really good advice at the end of the episode for those who are a bit worried about the upcoming madness that everyone can do with
