This episode is your holiday survival guide — without restriction, guilt, or starting over on January 1st.

Carrie walks you through why we tend to overeat this time of year and gives you five grounded, doable strategies to enjoy the food, the fun, and the festivities without the sluggishness, cravings, or crash that so many people feel by mid-December.

You’ll learn:
• Why holiday routines trigger overeating and cravings
• Simple “pre-game plate” ideas to stabilize blood sugar
• The Half-Plate Rule that keeps you satisfied without deprivation
• How fiber, protein, and mindful bites make holiday meals easier
• How stress, sleep, and nervous system dysregulation affect appetite
• Two quick breathing techniques to shift into “rest-and-digest” before meals

Carrie also shares her go-to Plexus tools for gut balance, cravings, glucose control, and metabolic repair — along with exciting details about her January Nourished Reset Challenge, including the free 3-Day Reset only option and the expanded 30-Day coaching experience that helps women rebuild metabolic flexibility with simple, sustainable habits.

Whether you want more energy, less bloating, fewer cravings, or just want to feel more like yourself this season, this episode gives you everything you need to enjoy the holidays ~ and still feel amazing in January.
