Episode description

As we wind down for the holiday season, we’ll be taking a short break. But I didn’t want to leave you without something meaningful to explore. So for today’s Monday episode, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful deep-dive topics of 2025.
Thank you for being part of this community. We’ll be back in the new year with brand-new episodes and I truly can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

In today’s episode, we feature four segments about hitting the reset button on our diet and lifestyle choices and establishing new behaviors for our overall wellbeing.

We all get off track sometimes. Life gets busy, we indulge a little too much during the holidays, or we ignore the messages our body is sending us to sleep more and eat better. This can leave us feeling super sluggish, run-down, or unable to think clearly. This is what I call FLC syndrome? It’s when you feel like crap!

Avoid sugar alcohols to prevent gut issues

Sugar alcohols like mannitol and sorbitol are not absorbed well and can cause significant gut issues like bloating, gas, and diarrhea by feeding gut bacteria.

Achieve metabolic health for greater dietary flexibility

By becoming metabolically healthy, you gain more "metabolic degrees of freedom," which is the resilience to tolerate occasional treats without negative consequences.

Prioritize relationships for a long, healthy life

An 84-year Harvard study found that good relationships, more than diet or exercise, were the primary determinant of a long, healthy, and happy life.
