22-28 Dec 2025: Navigating Any Holidays
This week in Thrive Again, I’ve done something a little different. Instead of a full meal plan, I’ve put together healthy, realistic alternatives to support you through the Christmas and holiday periods in general. This is the time when most people naturally consume more sugar, more processed foods, more alcohol, and much larger portions — often without realising how quickly it adds up. So rather than adding pressure, I wanted to give you simple ideas that bring balance back to the table. I’ve put together: 1) A video where I share practical tips on how to navigate the holiday period — not just Christmas, but any holiday.We’ll cover: - Helpful mindset shifts for enjoying food without guilt - The most common mistakes people make during holidays - How to balance enjoyment with supportive food choices - Alcohol tips, including why it’s worth exploring non-alcoholic options first, then layering in smarter alcohol choices (make sure you watch the video for this part) 2) Instead of a full meal plan, let's be realistic, we need some healthy food and drink alternatives that you can enjoy instead of processed, inflammatory foods and drinks. I have created the following simple an delicious recipes for you: - Dips and snack ideas you can bring to the Christmas table - Nourishing sweet treats - Fresh, delicious non-alcoholic drinks that still feel special These are all designed so you can contribute something supportive, enjoy what’s on offer, and not feel like you’ve completely stepped away from your health. This week is about support, not restriction — choosing a few better options, enjoying yourself, and moving through the holidays feeling more balanced and in control. As always, let me know in the comments if you have any questions 💛 We are here to be curious, to inspire other and get all the support needed, I check the portal daily :) PS.
