What if the most powerful healing tool you have this holiday season is something you’re not giving yourself enough of?
Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s a biological requirement for repair, detoxification, and resilience. And for anyone navigating a chronic or life-altering illness, rest is one of the most potent forms of medicine you have.
During the holidays, even the best intentions around sleep can fall apart — late nights, travel, stress, sugar, alcohol, hosting, early mornings, and constant stimulation. But your healing body depends on rest. When sleep drops, inflammation rises. Cortisol spikes. Blood sugar destabilizes. Repair processes slow. Symptoms flare.
In today’s episode, we go deep into how sleep impacts healing and how to reclaim rest even in the busiest season of the year. You’ll learn why restorative sleep is non-negotiable for immune strength, inflammation control, emotional balance, and cellular repair — and how to protect it without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
By the end, you’ll know how to treat rest like the medicine it truly is.
Click play on this episode, and then choose one thing we talk about to protect your rest tonight. Make rest a non-negotiable part of your healing — not something you fit in when everything else is done.
Join us for Day 9, where we’ll talk about breaking the guilt cycle when you fall out of sync with your nutrition plan, and how to get back on track without shame.
