“Holiday eating doesn't have to be an “all or nothing” or “either or” situation. It can be a “both and” experience. Enjoy different foods in balance, and celebrate the opportunity to gather data about what makes your body feel good and what doesn’t.”

“Going into the holidays, prepare some healthy meals and freeze them. Have some leafy greens, fruits and veggies, nuts, seeds, olive oil, lemon juice, avocados, cucumber, and protein on hand so you eat quality foods around the parties.”

“To balance the effects of acid-forming foods and support better gut health, consume a variety of fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kvass, kefir, and unsweetened yogurt.”  

“At holiday parties, embrace the 80/20 approach: Fill up on vegetables and protein, then the sugar and processed foods.”

“To avoid the gas, bloating, and food coma, eat until you’re satisfied, not stuffed.”

“Many holiday foods are dehydrating. Drink more water and water-based beverages, go raw for one meal each day, and eat some salad with every cooked meal.”

“During the holidays, keep moving to burn calories and support better digestion and detox. Grab a family member and go for a walk after meals.”

“Strugging to find something healthy on the menu? Order clean grilled protein, a couple of vegetable sides, and a salad.”

“A week before a long-haul flight, hydrate with a lot of water and raw foods. Have a colonic to bathe your colon, and eat a variety of fermented foods.” 

“To prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes, eat some protein and healthy fats with the carbs.”

“To restore balance after holiday eating, do a whole-form liquid nutrition day with smoothies, soups, and green juices, and hop into the fermented foods.”
