It’s the holiday season again. As a physician, you’re balancing patients, deadlines, and long hours—but now you’re also dodging breakroom cookies, holiday potlucks, and family food pushers.
Does this sound familiar?
- You’ve been running behind on notes all day, exhausted, and then there’s that platter of cookies in the breakroom. You don’t even want them, but suddenly you’re eating three before you’ve even sat down.
- At family dinners, someone says, “Oh, come on, you HAVE to try this! I made it just for you.” And even though you’re full, you take another helping because it feels too awkward to say no.
- By the time your kids’ holiday concerts and work parties are over, you’re so drained you grab whatever’s easiest to eat—even if it doesn’t leave you feeling good.
The good news? This year can be different.
🎉 I’m thrilled to introduce the Holiday Survival Guide for Physicians! It’s a series of resources designed to help you navigate holiday eating with confidence, calm, and control.
Here’s how they work together:
1️⃣ The Podcast Series: Holiday Survival Guide for Physicians
The first episode, Recognizing Your Triggers, is available this week! We’ll dig into why cookies in the breakroom feel irresistible and how to handle family food pushers without guilt. Three more episodes will follow, covering tools and strategies for the trickiest holiday challenges.
2️⃣ The PDF Guide: Holiday Food Freedom for Physicians
This isn’t just a list of tips—it’s a step-by-step plan you can use right now. You’ll learn how to decide which foods are worth it, handle those tempting moments (like politely refusing the plate being passed around at work), and savor holiday meals guilt-free.
3️⃣ The 14-Day Holiday Challenge: Less Stress Eating, More Joy
Starting December 2 inside the Thriving as a Physician Facebook Group, this challenge is your daily dose of accountability and support. You’ll get encouragement, practical tools, and real-life strategies to stay on track even when life gets hectic.
Imagine this: You’re sitting at your favorite holiday dinner, and instead of stressing about what’s on your plate, you’re relaxed. You’re enjoying your favorite dish—the one that reminds you of family memories—and savoring every bite guilt-free. When your Aunt Susan insists you have another helping, you smile and say, “No, thank you, I’m good,” feeling calm and confident.
Or picture this: it’s mid-January, and instead of trying to “undo” the holiday season, you’re still feeling in control. No guilt, no all-or-nothing mindset—just steady progress toward your goals.
These resources will help you not only during the holidays but well into the new year.
