Welcome back to the Endo Belly Girl Podcast! The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of navigating foods and activities that may not fully support your endometriosis. But don’t worry—today, I’m sharing my secrets for 10 holiday swaps to help you better manage your endo while still enjoying the festivities. Together, we’ll explore ways to support your health without missing out on the holiday magic.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. Cocktails for Mocktails – Skip the alcohol and opt for delicious mocktails that won’t trigger inflammation.

2. Sugary Desserts for Homemade Treats – Satisfy your sweet tooth with DIY recipes using endo-friendly ingredients.

3. Regular Hot Cocoa for Healthier Hot Cocoa – Enjoy the comfort of hot chocolate made with clean, wholesome alternatives.

4. Holiday-Scented Candles for Non-Toxic Candles – Create a cozy vibe without harmful chemicals by choosing soy or beeswax options.

5. Sitting Around for Walking or Hiking Adventures – Keep moving with gentle activities that help reduce pain and inflammation.

6. Doing More for Doing Less – Embrace rest and avoid overcommitting to preserve your energy.

7. Time for Everybody Else for Making Time for Yourself – Prioritize self-care amidst the holiday hustle.

8. Doom Scrolling for Unplugging – Swap social media binges for screen-free relaxation.

9. Perfume for Essential Oils – Avoid synthetic fragrances by using calming, natural oils.

10. Sugary Snacks for High-Protein Snacks – Stay energized with nutrient-dense options to curb cravings.
