Feeling anxious about what people will say about your plate this holiday season, especially if you have some new health and nutrition goals? Nutritionist and host Chris Newport breaks down why holiday food comments and food pressure are so common—and why they’re usually not actually about you.

You’ll learn:

• The real reasons people comment on what you are (or aren’t) eating
• How family traditions, insecurity, and “food as love” show up at the table
• Simple, kind, and clear scripts to respond to:
  • “That’s all you’re eating?”
  • “Come on, it’s the holidays!”
  • “You’re no fun tonight.”
  • “Look at you being all healthy.”
• How to set boundaries without creating drama
• A mindset reset you can use before you walk into any holiday meal

You deserve holidays filled with connection—not commentary on your plate.
