Food freedom over the holidays

I love fruit cake, and I wait all year for it to come back on the shelves. But wait a second, isn't it filled with sugar, fat, carbs, and a million calories per slice? You bet it is, and I enjoy every bite of it.  As Naturopathic doctors, @drviinberg and I believe in the power of healthy eating AND the importance of pleasure, connection, and joy that food can bring.  This episode discusses the delicate balance we take on when advocating healthy food choices AND avoiding diet flare-ups for the patients we treat. It was during this conversation the light bulb genuinely went on for me:  -Diets are dysfunctional and harmful, and food habits create harmony and health.   During this show, we identified and discussed ways to implement a few healthy habits so that you get the best of everything, eating your favorite seasonal foods without having to feel terrible, obsess or miss out on anything!  Spoiler alert: Dr. R's favorite festive treat is egg nog and not soy, oat, almond, or other alternatives!
