As part of my ongoing discussion about how to get through the holidays without doing undue damage to your health, let’s talk about wine!

Because drinking wine can be a festive and enjoyable part of the holiday season (if you have a healthy relationship with alcohol), and it can also have many health benefits (especially red wine), when consumed in moderation.

"What do YOU eat?"

I get this question a lot. And it makes sense that people would want to know those details (beyond our natural human curiosity about what other humans are really up to in their lives! 😜)

As a holistic doctor with a primary focus on guiding people through changing their diets - often drastically - when I provide concrete examples of specific foods and meals (like what I eat), this is like giving you street signs for your road map. This is especially useful when you're struggling, asking how in the world am I going to get from here (the way you are eating now) to there (the way I'm recommending you eat)?

So today I’m going to share with you the answer to that question, what do you eat, to provide you with some more of those street signs as you make your way along my Roadmap to Optimal Health.
