Tips to navigate holiday desserts

So again, my best tip is if you truly want some sweet things, try to minimize as much of the sugar as possible so it doesn't compromise your gut health. So things with dark chocolate or the cocoa powder is a great way. Things with fruit, you're cooking with fresh fruit that will help lower that blood sugar spike, will help prevent it impairing your gut lining and really kind of prevent those appetite regulation hormones and those cravings to take over being mindful about your sugar intake and carbohydrates for your blood sugar balance.

How to optimize hunger cues

So antioxidants and polyphenols really do influence those hormones like leptin and ghrelin, and it really can help dictate your fullness and hunger cues. So including those foods that are rich in polyphenols like the colorful foods that I mentioned with berries, cocoa, but then also green tea, olive oil, and any of the fruits and vegetables are always going to be key. They especially love cranberries, they especially love cherries and just those deep dark colored vegetables like beets, all of those are crucial to keeping your appetite hormones in check.
