Let’s get real. Holiday stress isn’t just overwhelming; it’s one of the biggest reasons so many of us end up gaining weight this time of year. It’s not just the extra treats or indulgences; it’s the constant pressure, the expectations, the juggling—and all of it sets off a cascade of stress hormones that affects everything from your cravings to your sleep.
In today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question: why does holiday stress lead to weight gain, and what can you do to stress less and weigh less? You’ll understand the science behind what I call the Cortisol Chaos Effect and how stress impacts your hunger, energy, and food choices. More importantly, you’ll learn how to manage the chaos so you can fully enjoy the season without guilt, regret, or extra pounds.
If you’re ready to enjoy the most relaxing and meaningful holiday season that focuses on what’s most important, without spiraling into the regret of eating too much, you’re going to want to listen extra closely to this episode. This is Holiday Survival Part 4 of a 4 part series.
Together, we will unpack:
- Why does holiday stress lead to weight gain, and what can you do to stress less and weigh less?
- What is the Cortisol Chaos Effect and how can you properly manage it to enjoy the holidays?
