In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest wellness myths of the season: holiday weight gain.

But here’s the truth: the research tells a very different story — and it’s one that will help you enjoy this season with more confidence and a lot less worry.

We’ll walk through what actually happens to your body during the holidays, why you might feel heavier even when you haven’t gained actual fat, and simple habits that help you feel good, satisfied, and present with the people you love.
