So our topic today is on nutrition, obviously, but really nutrition strategies to make you feel your best when you’re at the Disney parks.

And before we dive in, because I know, Ashley, you’ve got these 10 tips for us.

On how to keep ourselves energetic and happy at Disney.

But before we dive into those tips, can you just tell me real quick, how does nutrition affect you while you’re traveling?

Because it’s a big topic, but like what exactly goes on?

How does it affect you?

So when we’re not taking our body, taking care of our bodies fully, we’re not going to feel our best.

So we really want to make sure our digestion is on point, our blood sugar regulation is also on point.

And we’re just really feeling energetic and excited and happy because there’s nothing worse than being in Disney and having a stomach ache or feeling like you’re crashing out or not sleeping well.

And then having the energy to actually do the things that you want to do.

And I’ve experienced a lot of stuff firsthand in Disney that also made me want to be my most healthy self so that I didn’t have that go on while I was in Disney.

I love that.

Yeah, it’s such a topic that I feel is not talked about enough yet.

So many people fall into these, for lack of a better phrase, just like traps of, oh, I’m on vacation.

I’m going to just do whatever.

And then they end up crashing out.

They end up with stomach pain.

They end up just not being able to make it throughout the whole day.

And a big part of how they feel is related to their dietary choices, right?

And it’s wild because I have a lot of clients that will tell me, like, I’m going to go on vacation and I’m so worried about not keeping with my goals or eating things that I should or shouldn’t.

And I’m like, it’s fine to have those things.

It’s learning about how to balance them out so that you absolutely feel your best all the time rather than keeping yourself on things or overindulging in feeling like your worst, you know?

So yeah, you can absolutely have the most fun on vacation and feel your absolute best at the same time.

Yes, I love that.

I love that philosophy.

It’s such an important thing for people to embrace.

Otherwise, you know, you’re working too hard to try and achieve something that’s, you know, practically unachievable.

So to give yourself some grace, and I feel like this might come up later, but to give yourself some grace and just be like, okay, it’s okay sometimes, but, you know, try to stay on track, right?

Yeah.

And I mean, it’s not even just for vacation.

It’s for all the time.

Like if you want to hit like these nutrition goals, or if you want to feel your best and you want to have your digestion work well and have your blood sugar regulated, giving yourself grace and having balance is going to be the best thing for you to do.

Totally, totally, totally.

So, without further ado, why don’t we just dive into…

You’ve come up with, I understand, 10 tips, right?

10 tips, okay.

Let’s jump through it.

All right.

So, number one, which I know you’ve talked about as well, is staying hydrated.

So many people get so dehydrated in Disney.

We’re drinking an Epcot.

We are not drinking as much water as we should.

We are sweating it out profusely.

So staying hydrated is the number one tip.

Some tips for that.

Drinking half your body weight in water every day is the amount of water we should be getting in, especially in Disney, and then kind of adding in extra for sweating and then any alcohol you’re having.

I always recommend adding in some electrolytes.

So I love, you know, just regular sea salt.

You can get Redmond Sea Salt is my personal favorite.

Electrolyte packs, so Cured, Redmond, Relight, Body Bio are all great options as well.

Coconut water is one of my favorite things to do.

While I’m in Disney, I always have coconut water sent to our room.

And this sounds like a weird one, but don’t knock it till you try it.

But celery juice is so good for you.

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but there is something about being on a plane for me that I get off the plane and I’m like craving celery juice because of all the potassium in it.

We need that potassium.

So, you know, muscle cramping and everything like that.

Is that is that along the same lines as like pickle juice too?

Yeah, you can also do pickle juice.

That’s a great form of electrolytes as well.

Aloe juice is a great one, but for me, celery juice is like my go-to.

I know it sounds weird, but all my picky clients love it.

They get it and they’re like, why does this weirdly taste good?

I mean, celery juice, and I’m like, your cells needed it.

Your cells needed the electrolytes.

So, yeah, so we can also add in hydrating foods.

So like fruit and veggies are always going to be helpful.

I know that you and I have talked about this in our DMs a little bit, but getting in the hydrating fruits is so wonderful to do while you’re in Disney.

Totally.

Oh my gosh.

And there’s so many options too, right?

That’s something that personally, when I’m in the parks, I’m like, oh, let’s get a burger.

Let’s go get this.

Let’s go get that.

And then I realize, oh wait, they have fruit stands.

They have watermelon.

They have grapes.

And then they have celery and carrots and stuff.

So it’s out there.

It’s totally there.

Yeah.

You just got to see it and find it and know where it’s at.

And then you always know where to go.

So like we always stop in America in Epcot and get watermelon every single time.

Because by the time I walked to America, I’m like, I’m so thirsty, but I want to eat water.

So that’s like the best way to do it.

That half mile, halfway around the World Showcase Lagoon does you in.

It really does.

It literally gets you.

Really quick, really quick.

You mentioned sea salt.

How much sea salt would you put in into-

Just a little pinch.

Okay.

Just a little pinch.

Yeah.

And I would say at most Disney restaurants, they have sea salt these days rather than table salt, because table salt is not going to hydrate you.

The way sea salt is going to hydrate you, sea salt can be magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

And iodized salt does not.

So we want to make sure that we’re getting in a full sea salt there.

So you can bring your own, but the stuff at the Disney table is probably not the best quality, but it’s going to do something.

So just adding a little pinch of sea salt can be really helpful for that.

Good to know, because I did not know that difference.

Yeah, we want to make sure it’s sea salt rather than iodized salt.

Got it.

Got it.

Noted.

Okay.

Lots of stuff in that one.

That was good.

That was good.

All my tips are loaded.

I love this.

What is your second tip?

Okay.

Start your day with a savory breakfast.

Everybody calm down.

Take a deep breath.

I’m not saying you can’t make you waffles, but you can also pair your sweet breakfast with some protein.

I promise you, make you waffles go great with some breakfast sausage, some bacon.

We want to be getting in protein to start our day and then consuming more carbs throughout the day.

So to get into a little more science-based for nutrition, I specialize in blood sugar regulation and metabolic health.

And our body is more insulin-sensitive in the morning, so we can have more carbs in the morning, but we still always want to add it in with some protein, some fat, some fiber if possible, so you don’t have a couple pieces of fruit with it.

But we just want to make sure that we are getting in protein first thing, because that’s going to set you up for success throughout the day.

So people go to Disney, right?

And they start their day with Mickey waffles and churros and get all the sweet stuff first thing in the morning.

I know, it’s the best.

So good.

Then we crash halfway through the day, because our blood sugar spiked, our body released a bunch of insulin, and then brought our blood sugar down, and then we’re crashing a couple hours after being in the parks.

So, if you want good energy throughout the day, you want to start off with a savory breakfast or pair your sweet breakfast with a little bit of protein.

Okay, so number three here, we are going to set ourselves up for some optimal sleep.

So if we want optimal blood sugar, if we want optimal digestion, we need to be getting six to seven hours of sleep at least.

I know when we’re home, we want to be getting more or less seven to eight.

When we’re on vacation, you know, we’re rope dropping.

We’re staying up late for Fantasmic.

We’re not always getting the full eight hours of sleep we normally need, but we at least want to set ourselves up for six to seven hours.

Specifically, again, I specialize in blood sugar regulation.

So for great blood sugar regulation, we really want to be getting a lot of sleep because we will not be as insulin sensitive the day after a night of five hours or less sleep.

So my tips and tricks here, magnesium can be really helpful.

I don’t always recommend an ingestible magnesium.

I wouldn’t recommend trying one right before you go on vacation because you don’t know how your digestive system will react.

So you can always go with a topical magnesium.

You can find most magnesium sprays at any health food store around you.

Amazon has them.

The Symbiotica one is my personal favorite.

And then, of course, keeping your room dark.

So we know if you’re staying in a Disney hotel room, there’s those lights in there.

We always try and cover them up if possible to get that really dark feel.

But if not, you can bring a sleep mask as well.

That’s another option.

Bringing earplugs or having white noise play can be helpful.

Just to make sure that you’re getting a really good atmosphere for sleep.

And then something that can be a little hard for people is avoiding caffeine in the afternoon.

So, you know, when we’ve gone to like after hours events, my husband will be like, I’m going to get a coffee.

And I’m like, all right, sir, you may not be sleeping.

If it is past 3 p.m., I would really recommend not having a lot of caffeine to get your best optimal sleep while on vacation.

And then some things to do before bed is like stretching is really beneficial for the body before bed.

Taking three to six deep belly breaths before bed, putting on a little meditation, getting your body in that, you know, prepared state to sleep.

And then also, sleep prep actually starts first thing in the morning.

So when you first wake up, before getting on your phone, we like to hop outside of our hotel room and get it sunlight in our eyes first thing.

And then we’ll go back in the room, get ready to get ready to rope drop.

Get your whole circadian rhythm started correctly, get some good sunlight on the body.

Yes, I love that.

Yeah, we’re really optimizing our cortisol production because as we’ll get into in the tips, Disney’s overstimulating, it’s a little stressful sometimes.

We want to make sure our cortisol is a little bit more balanced during the day.

Getting sunlight in your eyes first thing in the morning is going to help with that cortisol production.

I love that.

So many micro tips inside that one.

I know, they’re already loaded.

No, that’s great.

You mentioned trying to cover any lights that are inside the room.

So I was just staying at the Riviera last weekend with my family.

I remember waking up at like two or three in the morning and seeing there was like a small flashing light on the top of my TV.

And I was like, why is that on the top of my like, why?

Yeah, right.

So it’s the small things that you don’t know.

Yeah.

Disney, there’s a reason.

I’m sure there is.

So like even covering the alarm clock, making sure all the black out turns are closed, like those are all huge.

And, you know, it sounds like they’re micro tips, but everything just stacks up and stacks up.

So it almost sounds like you could do one thing and be OK, but you can do two things and be even better.

And you can do like three or four things.

And your sleep quality just exponentially gets better.

Yeah, absolutely.

OK, so this tip may be a little weird for some people, but I want you to enjoy your meals.

I feel like when we’re in Disney, we’ll see like families rushing off to do the next thing after sitting down and eating like the ronto wraps.

And I’m like, man, just like take a take a couple deep breaths.

Get your digestion all set up so you’re not bloated, you’re not constipated, you can go to the bathroom well later and not have a hard time.

You know, your food, be present with your family, be grateful for your food.

Our body wants to actually smell our food and see our food because digestion starts in the brain.

So if we see our food before we eat it, and we smell it when we take the time, I don’t want you to reach out and smell your food.

But telling your body you’re ready to enjoy this meal is actually going to stimulate digestion in the mouth because we actually break down a lot of carbs and fat in our mouth with our saliva.

And it’s also going to tell your gut to create gastric juices so you can actually break down your food well.

So slow down, take three to six deep breaths before a meal, chew your food to an applesauce-like consistency before swallowing.

So 15 to 30 chews.

And just take your time because you’re going to feel your absolute best if you take your time eating rather than rushing through it.

Totally.

And you mentioned, I mean, it sounds like you’ve got this ritual to make sure you’re eating well.

So you’re digesting well.

It’s not any different from any ritual that you had just talked about with sleep, right?

Like you practice these small habits.

Exactly.

You practice these small micro habits, but you need to practice these long and advance so that they become automatic.

And you also train your body to do it, right?

Yes, absolutely.

Literally every tip that I give you is going to be great for day to day life too.

So start it now.

We’re like 80 days from our vacation.

Start now.

And then by the way, Disney, it’s like second nature.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That’s the whole like that’s the magic.

That’s where the magic happens.

It really happens in the preparation.

It does.

That’s awesome.

I want to bring this up just a little bit more because I’m a little selfish, but I’ve always been I wouldn’t call myself a slow eater, but I’m usually the last one to finish.

And it can get stressful sometimes depending on who I’m with.

Right?

Because a lot of the people in my friend group, depending on who I’m with, want to just go, go, go, go, and go.

And I’m like, I just want to enjoy my food, but I also want to feel good afterwards.

Any tips to navigate that conversation, you know?

Yeah, actually.

So, you know, I like to go on girls nights with my girlfriends and they all eat pretty quick, I feel like.

And so I’ll be literally the last one eating and I’ll just be like, oh, you guys, I just like to eat slow.

Like, I don’t know.

Or even sometimes I educate.

I mean, they all know what I do for a living.

So, you know, also, I’m going to be like, did you chew that to an applesauce-like consistency?

Because I don’t know if you did.

I’m chewing mine to an applesauce-like consistency.

Kind of just joking around with it and letting them know, like, I want to not be bloated later, so I’m just going to like take my time.

And I definitely recommend that, you know, like, I don’t know about you, but the Hollywood Brown Derby salad is like, it calls me.

You’re talking about the Cobb salad, right?

Oh my gosh, the Cobb salad, yes.

Yeah, that Cobb salad.

I’ve had it once, but it’s so, I remember it’s, there was a lot, but it’s also really, really good, yeah.

Yes, so I have seen, you know, like, if we’re sitting at the lounge, like somebody sitting next to us orders it and eats it within five minutes, and I’m like, I don’t even want to feel what they’re about to feel the rest of the day, because especially for, you know, vegetables like that, it’s harder for our body to break them down.

You’re getting in a lot of leaves, and then, you know, your body’s having a hard time breaking that down.

You’re going to be bloated later, you’re going to be constipated, and you’re not going to feel very good.

And it’s going to come out the other end, and you’re going to be like, why are there leaves here?

There’s nothing.

Because it wasn’t properly digested, right?

Is that what you’re getting at?

Yeah, they’re just passing right on through your bodies.

Like, I don’t have teeth in my stomach, so.

Yeah.

So I, yeah, going back to what you asked, like, I just, I tell people, like, I just take my time, I’m a slow eater.

I love that.

No, that’s good.

That’s good, just own it.

Just own it.

And really, you’re just owning your own body, too, because you want to make sure you feel good for the rest of the day and the rest of the trip.

Exactly.

Yeah.

That’s awesome.

That’s awesome.

Yeah.

What’s, what’s your next tip?

I feel like we’re going, we’re going to the next one now.

Okay.

So of course, blood sugar regulation is always top of my mind.

So always pair your sweet treats or carbs.

So I’m talking bars, I’m talking Dolwhits, I’m talking ice cream, croissants, popcorn, churros, all the amazing good Disney snacks.

I just want you to have with protein, fat, and carb or after a meal.

So you know, have them right after your meal, which I know can be a little bit difficult because people like fill up, like let’s say you’re going out to dinner, you fill up and then you’re like, oh, but I don’t want my Mickey bar now.

But it’s going to be best for your blood sugar if you have it right after a meal or like within 15 to 30 minutes, but waiting like an hour, two hours, your blood sugar is not going to be as stable.

So I do recommend having them after a meal.

And then if after a meal is not an option, like let’s say it is like in the middle afternoon and you like, I need this Dole Whip.

You know, having a little protein before, so I’ll get there in a second with one of my tips, but I always have like a beef stick on me or a protein bar on me.

I’ll have like a little bit of that or like get some corn dog nuggets from Casey’s and have that and then go get your Dole Whip.

You know, pairing it with a little protein, fat, and carb is going to be so much better than just having the Dole Whip on an empty stomach.

Having all that sugar right into the system, the body releasing insulin and you’re going to spike and then you’re going to dip and you’re not going to feel as great.

Just that big rush.

Yes, yeah.

That big rush, I gotcha.

And you had mentioned, you had already answered the question that I was going to ask, like, is it okay to do it beforehand?

But it sounds like yes.

Like to have that protein, fat, and carb.

Absolutely, yeah.

Okay.

So that’s my biggest one because you know, we want to feel good when we’re in Disney and before I became a nutritional therapist and before I like went on my health journey, like I would crash in Disney.

My husband literally jokes all the time.

Every time we walk through Morocco, it’s so funny to him because I literally crashed so hard the very first time I was ever in Morocco.

I literally was like, I need to sit down and take a nap.

Because I crashed so hard.

We literally cannot be in Morocco without him being like, be good.

I’m like, I have a year and a half time.

That one time nine years ago, like crashed in Morocco.

He’s just a caring husband.

He just wants to make sure.

Or he’s making fun of you because I feel like I do that to my wife.

We’re all good once.

We’re being honest.

It’s fine.

Speaking of which, what are the most common foods that would cause that discomfort?

It sounds like a lot of it is the sugary foods, right?

Yeah.

And even we have to think about some savory ones.

So I’m thinking of cost specific.

If you’re in France and I always see everybody walking around with a baguette and butter, and I’m like, that’s awesome.

I love that you’ve got a fresh baked baguette, but please have some protein with it or even some cheese with it.

If you have some fat with it, that will also slow down the digestion, allowing the blood sugar to enter the bloodstream a little, or the sugar to enter the bloodstream a little bit softer, so you’re not having such a big spike.

So yeah, pairing it with some protein or fat is going to be life-changing.

Got it.

What’s next on your list?

Next, avoid grazing consistently throughout the day.

This can be really hard for some people, especially even me.

If I’m walking through the parks and I want popcorn, I’m going to grab popcorn.

But then we’re eating popcorn in between meals, and our blood sugar is going to stay high throughout the day.

The body is constantly releasing insulin throughout the day.

You’re not going to sleep as well.

You’re not going to feel as good.

You’re not going to have as much energy.

So I do try to recommend three to four hours in between meals.

So having a breakfast, waiting that three to four hours, then having lunch or a light snack, and then maybe having a sweet treat, and then waiting a couple more hours having dinner.

That’s really going to help stabilize your blood sugar the best.

Got it.

It was yesterday.

I was meeting up with more family members, and we had reservations at, where was it?

It was at Raglan Road.

The reservation was at 1245.

We got seated at one.

We didn’t get our food until two, but we also had reservations at Trattoria Alfonso at the boardwalk at 650.

And I was like, one, we’re going to be eating a lot of food, but two, like, is that enough time between meals to feel like I’m ready to have another meal?

It ended up being fine, and I ended up eating less for dinner, which is fine, but that three to four-hour window, that’s really good to know.

Yeah.

That three to four-hour window is optimal for blood sugar and digestion for both of them.

Yeah.

And I also feel like that’s just a challenge that a lot of Disney guests are going to run into anyways, just trying to time meals with what’s available in terms of restaurant reservations.

That’s a really good point.

Yeah.

And again, like we said at the beginning, we’re not shooting for perfection.

Yeah.

We’re not shooting for perfection, but if you’re going to be there for seven days, maybe try and shoot for doing that three to four-hour window most of the days, then you have a day where you got a 345 reservation, but you’re going to eat again at six, it’s going to be okay.

Right.

One little, I wouldn’t call it a slip-up, but one little thing like that is not going to hurt you a ton.

It’s not going to ruin your whole digestion, your blood sugar, your whole trip, it’s not going to.

And if you’ve developed these micro habits long before the trip, shoot, you’re going to be just fine.

My blood sugar clients, the biggest thing I see is grazing in between meals.

So we want to make sure we’re getting balanced meals, we’re not grazing throughout the day, you feel your best every single day.

It’s huge.

That’s huge.

All right.

Awesome.

What’s your next tip?

Okay.

This one can be difficult for some people, but make sure you get in your fiber.

We have to get in some fiber.

I hear so much from everyone on vacation, they either have mild to get 2 TMI, but diarrhea or constipation, we got to be getting in that fiber.

And for our blood sugar as well, getting in some soluble fiber is going to help kind of ease that sugar into our bloodstream, probably helping it.

So add in fruit and veggies whenever possible.

We want that for blood sugar regulation, hydration, bowel movements, digestion, all the good stuff.

I think there was one trip where I had literally vegetables once on the whole trip, and I felt terrible.

And I was like, oh, and that was before I started my health journey and everything.

But I’m like, yeah, that probably doesn’t set me up for success there.

I definitely recommend adding it in.

If you are in America, grab some watermelon.

If you are, we love the Annapoli.

Like, get a side salad.

You know, you don’t have to have a big salad for dinner, but like, you know, have a little bit of salad with your pizza.

It’s not going to hurt you.

If anything, you’re going to feel better.

Put some ranch on it, you’ll be fine.

So yeah, like always just make sure that you’re getting in those those fibrous foods because you’re going to feel so much better.

Yeah.

And it sounds like it doesn’t have to be like a massive salad like you were trying to get out earlier.

It could be something smaller as long as it’s something, right?

Just get in something.

And it also doesn’t have to be something that you know you’re not going to like.

There’s going to be something that you’re going to figure out what you’re going to like.

You’re going to find it.

It’s going to be OK.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Find something that you like.

I mean, most people can find some sort of fruit they like.

And do we want to eat like only fruit a cyber?

No.

When you’re home, I would prefer you to eat fruits and vegetables.

But if you’re at Disney and they don’t have a vegetable, you like just get some fruit.

You’ll be fine.

I love that.

I love that.

All right.

What’s your next tip?

Okay.

Next.

This also may sound weird, but honoring your nervous system.

Our stress levels impact blood sugar and digestion.

So giving our body time to relax, being mindful when we need a break, which I know is also something you talk a lot about.

Taking deep breaths when you’re getting over-stimulated.

Finding quiet moments can be one of the best things you can do for your body in general, for nutrition in general.

So I love to sit on the hub grass and just take it all in, listen to the music, see the family singing, it’s beautiful.

Writing the People Mover.

Sitting in the back of the UK and Canada.

Just relaxing for a moment because, as we said, Disney can be sober-stimulating and we can have a crazy stress response.

So I don’t know if you have an aura ring or a boot band or anything, but they’ll tell you when you’re stressed.

I do find my stress levels at Disney will kind of spike during busy times.

Actually getting somewhere relaxing in the park is going to be amazing for your digestion and blood sugar regulation alone.

You’ll sleep better, you’ll have more energy.

If you just take that time to take care of your nervous system itself.

Yeah, totally.

And I personally don’t have a tracker, but I have learned from experience, the more I listen to my body and that this is a topic that I talk about, and I’m really passionate about figuring out.

But the more I listen to my body, the more I can catch myself when my stress levels start to go up.

And for me personally, it’s when the crowd levels are higher, or if it’s like rope dropping, you’re first starting to walk into the park, or I drive to the park, so I get stuck in traffic getting into the park.

So it’s like those things, right?

But the more you listen to your body, the more you figure out and realize what your triggers are, the more you can recognize those same triggers when they come at you in the park, right?

Yeah.

I think it’s amazing, like you said, like learning your triggers, like you don’t need a tracker to know when your body is stressed out.

Like we know when our body is stressed out, like just listening to it and giving ourselves like, go find a quiet spot to take those three to six deep body breaths.

And like you will feel so much better.

Yes.

Yes.

And also big shout out to Stephen from Dintroverts.

He knows where all the quiet spots are.

So pair that with your advice on, you know, stress relief and you’ll be a OK.

Find one of his favorite spots and go take a couple of deep breaths.

Yep.

Yep.

But I have to say so far between the sleep and the stress, like I did not realize how big of an impact it can have on your digestion.

Like I knew it was there, but I did not realize, you know, the fact that it’s on your top 10 tips makes it a really big deal.

Right.

Yeah.

It is absolutely wild to me that I will have clients with lifelong gut issues.

And then we bring in the relaxation piece or the sleep piece or the stress overall.

And it is wild how much better they feel when we teach them those like daily tricks to actually keep your nervous system a little bit more calm.

Yeah.

And that’s crazy because I could say the exact same thing for people I’ve seen in the physical therapy clinic, right?

And yeah, that’s wild how just one technique and one aspect of your daily habits, just targeting that can affect several parts of your health journey.

That’s amazing.

Yeah, it’s really cool.

I bet you see that a lot.

Yep, absolutely, absolutely.

Making a reset meal.

So I always recommend this to people if it’s every day or every other day, picking a reset meal.

So balancing out meals in general in the parks can be difficult.

So all the things we just listed, you know, avoiding grazing or getting in protein before you have something sweet, giving yourself a reset meal.

So getting and sitting down to maybe a sit down dinner and getting some non-starchy veg, so like a salad or some broccoli or something like that, and then having it with a really nice protein.

This can just kind of reset everything, reset your blood sugar, reset your digestion, get in what you know you need to get in at least once a day or once every other day.

It can be really helpful.

Yeah, totally.

I would compare that to taking a rest break halfway through your day at the park, or even a rest day, right?

Where you’re just resetting your body, making sure that your body can rest and recover before you’re hitting it again in the parks.

Absolutely.

Same thing with your digestive system.

It’s no different.

It needs all the nutrients it needs to actually function properly.

Right.

I can imagine, depending on what you eat, your digestive system needs to work harder to digest certain foods, and less to digest other foods.

That just adds up to how much it’s working, and that’s why you need that sort of reset.

Yeah?

Yeah.

That’s awesome.

All right.

Okay.

Last tip.

We’ve said it a couple of times in this conversation, but give yourself grace.

You can stress yourself out on vacation, and we don’t want that.

We now know how stress affects our blood sugar and our digestion, so we don’t want to stress you out on vacation.

Give yourself lots of grace, especially while wearing, like, I bring in CGMs for my clients, or clients that are healing their metabolism.

They get so stressed, like, I don’t want to eat any carb on vacation.

I’m like, you need carbs.

Like, it’s gonna be okay if you have a Mickey bar while you’re on vacation.

You’re not, nothing’s gonna happen.

I promise you, you’re not going to be perfect on vacation, and that is okay.

Finding your balance, giving yourself grace, listening to your body is going to be the best thing you can do for yourself.

So, that is my final tip.

Give yourself lots of grace.
