How to Rewire Holiday Stress in Your Body

In this episode, Nikki T breaks down why holiday stress. The to-do lists, family expectations, pressure to look and eat “perfect,” and the nonstop busyness all activate fight-or-flight… and that’s exactly what triggers cravings, emotional eating and the “I’ll start over in January” spiral.

You’ll learn:

Why your body confuses stress with hunger

How cortisol, energy dips, and cravings are actually protective responses

Why diet-based holiday “control strategies” backfire

Simple nervous-system tools to calm your body so you can make aligned choices

How to shift from reacting to food to responding with clarity

This episode gives you practical, calming steps you can use immediately through the holidays ... so you feel grounded  and more connected to your body.
