#47 – Christmas Survival Guide

Are you stressed about over-eating or over-indulging during the holidays? Do you travel to visit relatives, and you are anxious about eating a nourishing ancestral diet while away from home? What about the children – are people stuffing them full of sugar plums when you wish they were eating something else? Alison and Andrea tackle all these questions and more in this episode centered around surviving the holidays, and walking into the New Year feeling nourished and healthy!
