This episode dives into the science-backed strategies for balancing mental and physical health during the holidays and beyond. Rebecca joins me to discuss the power of nutrition in regulating blood sugar and improving mental health, sharing insights from her personal and professional experience.

We explore practical tips for enjoying holiday meals without the dreaded sugar crashes, mood swings, or energy dips, including:

• How a carnivore diet can be a nutritional reset for your body.
• Why eating carbs with fats and proteins is essential for blood sugar balance.
• How the timing of dessert can prevent blood sugar spikes.
• The surprising benefits of a post-meal walk for energy and mood stability.
• A simple rule to follow: never eat carbs on an empty stomach.

Rebecca also shares her journey with chelation therapy, natural detox methods using spirulina, chlorella, and mineral-rich salts, and the importance of replenishing minerals for overall health.

We discuss the crucial role of sleep in memory, trauma processing, and emotional resilience. Learn how poor sleep contributes to unresolved trauma and mental health struggles, and why prioritizing rest can be a game-changer for sustainable wellness.

Whether you’re navigating holiday stress or looking for actionable tips to optimize your mental health year-round, this episode provides practical guidance grounded in holistic principles.
