November 27, 2025

In this episode, Mel and Kara break down the simple, real-food strategies that help you enjoy the season without the blood sugar crashes, cravings, or cardiometabolic backslide. Learn how holiday habits impact triglycerides, HDL, and insulin sensitivity--and how small changes (like eating before an event, building balanced meals, and the 50% movement rule) can keep you energized, steady, and feeling your best. If you want to stay healthy without missing out on the fun, this episode gives you a practical plan you can actually follow.
