In this episode, sports dietician Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes addresses common concerns about food-related stress and holiday weight gain for female athletes, advocating for a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. Lindsey emphasizes the importance of integrating holiday foods into a balanced diet rather than restricting or overindulging.
