Episode 11: Holiday Blood Sugar Hacks: Simple Ways to Stay Well Through the Season

Jennifer Quartano

The holidays are here and so are the sweets, stress, and busy schedules that come with them! In this episode, Adrienne and I talk about how sugar and stress feed off each other, what that means for your hormones and immune system, and how to stay grounded without feeling like you’re missing out on the fun.

We share practical ways to stay balanced through “sugar season” from supporting your body (and your kids’) to enjoying the holidays without losing the progress you’ve made. 

If you’re tired of feeling run-down by the end of the year, this one’s for you!
