Holiday Eating: Start With the End in Mind (Not a Holi-Week!)
Send us a text
In this episode, Russ breaks down a fresh, realistic way to approach holiday eating without guilt, restriction, or the infamous “I’ll restart in January” spiral. You’ll learn why the holidays themselves aren’t the problem, how to avoid turning them into a full holi-week, and how to anchor your choices using a simple principle: start with the end in mind.
Russ also shares an eye-opening insight about January A1c labs and why they actually reflect your holiday months(October, November, and December), not what happens in January.
If you want a calm, joyful approach to holiday meals that still supports steady blood sugars and strong momentum going into the new year, this episode is for you.

- How holiday meals impact blood sugar and what actually helps
