213. Navigating the Holidays — Can You Really Gain 10 Pounds?


Listen Later

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

Every year the headlines warn us about “10 extra pounds,” and every year… it sparks stress, guilt, and fear around food.
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.

3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  1. The real amount of weight people gain during the holidays
  2. Why you may “feel heavier” even when you haven’t gained fat
  3. Simple habits that help you enjoy holiday food without guilt

And because I want you to head into this season feeling supported, I’m also sharing a free Holiday Eating Guide packed with simple strategies to reduce stress, stay energized, and enjoy your favorite foods.

You’ll also get 5 easy holiday recipes

  • High-Protein Cranberry Feta Dip
  • Whipped Ricotta Bruschetta

  • Gingerbread Oat Milk Latte
  • Cranberry Orange Mocktail.

This is your permission slip to slow down, savor, and enjoy the holidays without the fear-based mindset.
