261. How Nurses and Caregivers Can Have a HEALTHY Thanksgiving

<p>In this episode, we are chatting about how to handle Thanksgiving and other food-filled holidays without going overboard. I really want to challenge the idea that we NEED to stuff ourselves until we feel sick and feel like garbage the rest of the day. Why is that a requirement? Instead I want us to find a more balanced approach that still allows us to enjoy ourselves while taking care of our bodies. We will break down how you can build a blood-sugar balancing plate, and deal with the triggers that get in the way. Plus, we are talking about the unique challenges that healthcare workers face during the holidays. <br/><br/><br/><a href='https://wonderful-voice-72929.myflodesk.com/5d5b0844-6869-41c7-ad71-86463b536485'>Join the email list to hear about ALL of the Black Friday Deals (and get your high protein FREEBIE!)
