In the last Q&A of 2025, we’re diving into the biggest mindset and nutrition challenges that come up in December and how to handle them without swinging into all-or-nothing mode. We chat about setting polite but firm boundaries with that well-meaning colleague who keeps offering sweet treats, reducing food noise when there are chocolates everywhere, and simple ways to approach the Christmas period without derailing progress.
We also dig into the science behind cutting and bulking phases - including how to use this time of year as a muscle-building phase without it turning into yo-yo dieting - plus how to use intention-setting and the traffic light system to feel good heading into January.
