10 tips to support your gut + relationship to food during Christmas ⬇

1. When it comes to sweets/sugar, remember that pairing them with protein/fat/fibre will help you feel better (as it “dulls” the insulin spike/response).

As well, the order in which you eat things can help you feel a bit better - starting with the fibre/protein/fat (e.g., veggies, charcueterie board!), then opting for the desserts, again will blunt that glucose response.

2. Make sure you eat a balanced meal before going out! This will prevent overeating, and lead to much better food choices that actually feel GOOD rather than because you're starving!

3. If you're going out to dinner, pick something on the menu that has protein and fibre (think diversity of colour!), this will help support the gut + your energy.

4. Pause before eating: 3–5 slow belly breaths (long exhales) → signals rest & digest, and also tells your brain that you are safe around food.

5. REST as much as possible (even when everyone around is NOT). Digestion happens in rest and digest, not fight or flight. This will support your gut health more than anything!

6. Keep working on your foundations no matter how busy you are - eating every 3-4 hours, balanced meals, hydrating, movement sticking to a regular sleep schedule as much as you can. Your gut will thank you!

7. Drop “good” and “bad” food labels. Food neutrality is key. Agency (choice) is key. Try: “This feels good for me right now” or “This doesn’t feel great today.”

8. Use enzyme support for larger meals (if you use them): Digestive enzymes, lactase, bitters, or HCl (if part of your protocol) can help support the digestive system after larger or unfamiliar meals.

9. Remember that a few meals or sweets are not going to "undo" or "ruin" your health. It doesn't work that way...lol!

10. Ultimately, don't forget that we eat for SO many different reasons, and at Christmas, the intention behind eating shifts more to honouring culture, traditions, and connection.

Support > control
Flexibility > rigidity
Grace > guilt

Hope this helps 🫶

I’ve been wanting to create and share something like this for so long….

A space to show you how to take care of your health long-term. Starting with the gut.

No diets. No extreme restrictions. No weight loss or fad BS.

Learn to listen to your body.

Know what foods support your gut, and also gain intuition around food rather than fear or getting your info from TikTok lol.

Learn how to develop health habits that last you way beyond Feb 1.

Feel energized. Get rid of the blah and bloat. Finally feel confident and not guilty around food.

Do it differently in January and join me ⬇️

Join me in January for my 21-Day Gut Reset group program (!), and start taking care of your health - differently.

Not to shrink.

Not to restrict.

Not to go from zero to one hundred during the dead of winter...

Instead.....tune out the January noise and:
- Learn how to actually improve your gut health (and thus, your whole health!)
- Feel energized, ditch the bloat and BLAH
- Build health habits that last longer than 1 month (lol)
- And feel safe, supported, educated and confident around food + your health

The waitlist is OPEN (link in bio) where you'll get early access to everything. Doors open NEXT WEEK!

You can be trying your absolute best with your health and still feel stuck — and it’s usually because of these patterns I see over and over again:

1. Going all or nothing.
This usually prevents people from either starting in general, or prevents them from being able to maintain ANYTHING. And then it becomes this ugly viscous cycle.

2. Trying a random supplement thinking it’ll fix everything.
Firstly, there’s no supplement that works for every single person, it really is an individual and intentional process. Secondly, your bloat probiotic is likely gimmicky marketing. Thirdly, if you don’t have the foundations (if you’re not absorbing anything), then you’re wasting your $$ entirely. Lastly, supplements don’t “heal you”, but with the right ones, they can help give the body the supports it needs.

3. Cutting out more and more foods to reduce symptoms.
This only works for so long, and for some, it doesn’t work at all. Because it’s rarely a food issue. You need to figure out WHY you’re responding to that food. The gut needs dietary diversity to thrive, so cutting out more foods long-term can make the issue worse.

4. Running on coffee and cortisol all day
Undereating and overcaffienated….a recipe for your gut to be extremely unhappy 🤣 not to mention the energy / anxiety roller coaster. The gut is a nervous system-regulated process. Proper digestion does not take place in fight or flight (sympathetic state). It takes place is rest and digest (parasympathetic state).

➡️ We work through all this (and more!) step by step in my 21 Day Gut Reset Method. 🙌🙌🙌

💬 Thinking about supporting your health in January? You might be picturing new workouts, strict rules, big plans…

Spoiler (but not spoiler LOL): we all know it doesn’t stick, right?? So why are we still at it?? In the dead of winter when nature is asleep.... 😆

What if instead, you slowed down and started supporting your gut to change your health? Started truly nourishing yourself. Started building health habits that actually support you—through winter, into the rest of the year, and beyond.

That’s why I created the 21-Day Gut Reset 🫶 — a simple, practical reset to help you finally support your gut, nourish yourself, and build health habits that actually stick. So you can feel energized, less bloated, and in tune with the rhythm of winter —without buying into all the hype, new things you need to buy, do, etc. (all that BS 😅).

🎬 Doors open soon — get on the list to be first to know and grab one of the limited spots.

Want in on a secret?? ✨
I double down on my health in December. ♥️

Why?

It’s quiet. It’s peaceful in this space.

No one else is really doing it.

Everyone else is “waiting until January”.

The gym is empty.

Life feels slower and intentional.

People are buzzing around doing a million things, and me (and my clients!!!!) are here working on the gut, nourishment, movement, hydration, PEACE (!!!!) and more.

Furthermore, I feel so much better embracing and enjoying Christmas food and activities when my gut and nervous system are feeling good.

I have so much more energy and capacity to show up when it IS busy in December.

And honestly… it’s kind of fun. And 🤷‍♀️ I love to do things differently lol.

It’s literally in my (Hewson) genetics — my dad loved to go against the grain, and I always admired that.

➡️I am taking new clients in December! So if you want to start working on your health and start doing things differently — come on over 👏♥️♥️♥️. Book a free call (link in bio) to get started!

And if you’re more of a “just watching for now” person…January has something very fun coming your way. 😏✨
