Keep up Healthy Habits During the Holidays, Ep #005

In this episode, we are going to talk about surviving the holidays and how to keep your health on track while going through the season. I’ll walk you through a few steps that you can take to prepare and get through this time of year without derailing your progress. We are also going to talk about some of the holiday challenges that my patients bring to me and what to do about those.Before we get started, I just want to say, I recognize not everyone celebrates holidays at the same time of year. Not everyone celebrates Christmas. That is what my family celebrates and that is what a lot of my patients celebrate so that is some of what we're gonna be talking about today. You may also come across this at a different time of year so you might save it and go back to it around Thanksgiving, or you might hang in and go for the ride because I think you are gonna learn a lot in this episode that you can use for lots of circumstances in your life.Points of interest...Why are the holidays so hard?
