In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down a refreshingly sane approach to Christmas eating — one that ditches guilt, detoxes, and “earning your food,” and instead works with your physiology. Using a simple three-phase framework — Prime, Process, Restore — Mikki explains how small, practical behaviours before, during, and after Christmas Day can dramatically improve blood sugar control, digestion, energy, and overall metabolic resilience. From protein-anchored meals and strategic movement to post-meal walks and nervous system regulation, this episode is about supporting the machinery that handles abundance — not punishing yourself for it. No calorie counting, no biohacker gadgets, no January regret. Just evidence-based habits that help you enjoy Christmas as a celebration, not a metabolic crisis.

Highlights

• Why Christmas food isn’t “good” or “bad” — and why behaviour ≠ character
• How movement primes insulin sensitivity and glycogen storage
• The power of protein anchoring to prevent dysregulated eating
• Why post-meal walks are non-negotiable metabolic gold
• How stress and guilt impair digestion more than food ever could
