The holidays are upon us, and if you’re anything like me you’ve got one major topic on your mind…hormone healthy holiday recipes!
There’s no denying food is a major part of this season, but unfortunately for many it can also be a source of stress, especially when it comes to indulging in recipes that taste amazing but leave you feeling not so great. And when we don’t feel great, it can be hard to show up as our best selves and truly enjoy life.
This is why I’m always on such a hot mission to create recipes that taste good and help you feel good too. Because both food and your body are meant to be enjoyed, loved on and celebrated, and there’s no reason you should be able to do one and not the other.
So for those of you that tend to struggle in the food arena around the holiday season, I got you covered with a newly updated 2023 Hormone Healthy Holiday Recipe Roundup.
I hope this list brings you a sense of calm, peace and joy around food this season, for you, your hormones and your loved ones.
