Most people think the holidays derail progress because of pie, cookies, or holiday parties.

But that’s not what actually causes people to feel bloated, off-track, and frustrated this season.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real health pitfalls that sabotage your energy, metabolism, and mindset this time of year — and how to avoid them without missing out on the foods you love.

You’ll learn:

* Why restricting foods (or trying to be “perfect”) can ruin your holiday

* How to limit your excess calories from alcohol

* Why trying to “burn off” your food to compensate for overeating is a waste of time

* How you can get support, guidance, and a plan to stay consistent during the holiday season and contribute to charity at the same time

If you want to enjoy the season and maintain your results, this episode is for you.

⚠️ PS: My Maintain Don’t Gain: Thrive Through the Holidays Challenge kicks off TONIGHT! It’s not about dieting or restriction. It’s about staying consistent, supported, and stress-free through the chaos.

💜 Half of all proceeds go to Dahlia’s Hope, supporting survivors of sex trafficking and sexual assault.
