navigating a healthy holiday

the holiday season is meant to be joyful, but it often leaves us feeling sluggish, guilty, and ready to “start over” come january. in this interactive talk, clinical nutritionist and health coach danielle reid (BSc hons nutritional science) shares simple, practical strategies to help you enjoy the festivities without the crash, guilt, or post-holiday reset.

from balancing meals and supporting your liver to making smarter choices around alcohol and managing indulgences mindfully, danielle will show you how to stay energized, enjoy the food and drinks you love, and start the new year feeling good in your body.

this isn’t about restriction or rules—it’s about learning how to truly celebrate the season while keeping your health (and sanity) intact.
