As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of parties, family gatherings, and indulgent meals. While these moments create cherished memories, they can also derail our health and wellness goals. Here at Performance House in Newport, Kentucky, I’m Morgan Reason, R.D., and I’m passionate about helping you navigate this joyful yet challenging time. Whether you’re in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, or the surrounding areas, making mindful choices can keep you on track without missing out on the season’s delights. As a nutritionist, I believe balance is the key to maintaining your health and happiness during the holidays.

Mindfulness and nutrition go hand in hand when it comes to enjoying the holidays guilt-free. By approaching meals and gatherings with intention, you can savor your favorite holiday treats while still prioritizing your well-being. Small, conscious decisions—like filling half your plate with colorful veggies or pausing between bites—can make a big difference. For my clients in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, I’ve seen firsthand how a thoughtful approach to nutrition not only supports physical health but also enhances the joy and connection that make the season special. Let’s embrace this time of year with strategies that nourish both our bodies and spirits, so we can enter the new year feeling vibrant and fulfilled.
