EPISODE #157: INDULGE WISELY—STAYING HEALTHY DURING HOLIDAY MAYHEM WITH JULES PELAEZ
Holiday Season 2025 is upon us!
It's a crazy whirlwind of feasts, sweets, and gatherings that spark joy and excitement! Yet without awareness, they can derail our wellness game with sugar crashes and unneeded stress!
Today, mind-body nutrition coach Jules Peláez from JustJulesNutrition.com joins the Live Like Eden podcast to kick off a two-part series. In part one, she inspires us to savor the holiday season without guilt or regret, blending practical tips with soulful mindset shifts. Next week, we'll dive into part two, deepening the discussion by breaking down the so-called midlife crisis—or is it an opportunity in disguise?
In this lively chat, Lindsay and Jules debunk the "all or nothing" trap:
From Food Comas to Wise Indulgence: Jules shares her childhood Thanksgiving "blackout" epiphany as a wake up call to eating with intention and awareness instead of mindless gluttony. Setting up a broader holiday health plan can help you transform a two month sugar spiral into a vibrant season with family and friends.
Mindful Strategies for the Mayhem: Prioritize what's most important to you: daily greens, hydration, and cozy walks (heated vests for snow hikes!). Ditch overeating for gratitude-fueled digestion, and swap cortisol-spiking fanatical exercise for yin yoga or a walk in nature to tame type-A stress without feeling the burnout.
Whether you're prepping for Friendsgiving or navigating in-law feasts, this episode arms you with intention over obsession, turning holiday madness into mindful magic.
Tune in for laughs, ah-ha's, and zero-guilt party hacks—perfect for anyone craving holiday freedom. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week as we dive into, Midlife Crisis or Spiritual Transformation?
