Holiday Eating That Supports Your Hormones and Energy

Holiday Eating That Supports Your Hormones and Energy

The holiday season is full of delicious food, family gatherings, and festive chaos. But all that extra food, late nights, and skipped routines can leave your body feeling unsettled. Energy dips, bloating, or brain fog often show up just when you want to be fully present and enjoying the day.

It’s rarely one dish or one choice that causes this. It’s the combination - irregular meal timing, more sugar than usual, and foods that hit your system all at once. Your hormones notice, your blood sugar notices, and when either starts to swing, the effects often show up sooner than you expect.

The good news? You don’t have to overhaul the menu or set rigid rules around celebration. Even small tweaks and a bit of awareness can help you feel steady and nourished, both at the table and in the hours that follow.
