A Healthy Gut & Nurtured Heart For Christmas

As we come to the end of another year, I wanted to personally reach out and connect with you during this Christmas and holiday season. This time of year often invites us to slow down, reflect on the months that have passed, and spend more time with the people we love. It can also be a time where routines shift, travel increases, and our bodies feel the effects of a fuller calendar. With that in mind, I wanted to share a few supportive reminders and updates to help carry you through the festive period feeling well, nourished and supported.
Supporting Your Gut Health Over the Holidays
The holiday season is often filled with delicious food, celebration, social gatherings and late nights, and while joy is powerful medicine, our digestive system doesn’t always love the sudden change in rhythm. Rich meals, alcohol, sugary treats, irregular eating times and disrupted sleep can place extra pressure on the gut, particularly if you’re already managing digestive symptoms, inflammation, hormonal changes or fatigue.
My encouragement to you is to continue to aim for balance as we have discussed, rather than perfection. Slow down when you eat, chew your food well, and listen to your body’s signals. Where possible, include quality protein, cooked vegetables and healthy fats at most meals, stay well hydrated, and allow space between heavier meals for digestion to do its job. Gentle movement, sunlight and proper rest are often underestimated but make a remarkable difference to gut health, immune function and nervous system regulation during this time.
Gut Healthy Holiday Meals – Electronic Cookbook
Many of you have asked for practical ways to enjoy festive food while still supporting your digestion, which is why I created my Gut Healthy Holiday Meals mini cookbook, now available to purchase and download on my website.
This cookbook was designed specifically for the holiday season—when you still want food to feel comforting, satisfying and celebratory, without the digestive fallout afterwards. The recipes focus on whole, nourishing ingredients that are gentle on the gut, easy to prepare, and suitable for family meals or entertaining. It’s very much about making healthy food tasty, without overcomplicating things.
Whether you’re hosting, contributing a dish, or simply wanting reliable meals between celebrations, this cookbook offers supportive options that nourish your body while still allowing you to enjoy the season.
Holiday Closure, January Return & Supplement Reminder
I will be taking a short break from 23rd December until 11th January, returning to support all clients and health enquiries from 12th January 2026. This time away allows me to rest, reset and spend time with family, so I can return fully present, energised and ready to support you through your health goals in the new year.
** If you require any supplement script renewals via Vitaly, please ensure you email me by 22nd December, so these can be organised prior to the holiday closure. Requests received after this date will be addressed once I return in January.
Bookings For 2026
If you are planning to continue your health journey into the new year—whether that includes gut healing, hormone support, immune health, or functional testing,I encourage you to book ahead online as January appointments tend to fill quickly.
Wishing You a Beautiful and Nourishing Holiday Season
Thank you for trusting me with your health this year. It is truly a privilege to support you and be part of your wellness journey.
I wish you a Christmas and holiday season filled with love, joy, peace and good health. May this time nourish your body, calm your nervous system, and bring moments of rest, laughter and connection.
Please take care and stay safe over the holiday period.Blessings and health for the year ahead.
Blessings and love
Deena
