The holidays are supposed to feel joyful, but for many women they bring more stress, anxiety, and physical symptoms than any other time of year.

In this episode, Kylie explains what holiday stress is actually doing inside your body, especially to your hormones, gut, and energy levels, and how to support yourself without trying to do everything perfectly.

This conversation is about working with your body during high-stress seasons, not pushing harder or adding more rules.

You’ll learn:

• Why stress hits the body harder during the holidays
• The hormone most responsible for anxiety, fatigue, and digestive issues
• One morning habit that can set the tone for your entire day
• How caffeine and sugar can quietly worsen stress (and what to do instead)
• Foods and nutrients that support calm and steady energy
• Why boundaries and letting go of perfection matter more than willpower

If the holidays usually leave you drained, bloated, or emotionally overwhelmed, this episode will help you move through the season feeling calmer and more grounded.
