Who else struggles with all of the sugar and processed food that comes with the holiday season? You are far from alone!
On today’s episode, I chat with the incredible Dr. Madia Saeed - she is not only a holistic medical doctor, mother of 5, and author of numerous books - she is also incredible in the kitchen! She has the gift of being able to feed large groups with ease using the highest quality ingredients producing an array of delicious and nutrient-dense recipes.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in person when driving cross country with my family - she invited us over for lunch and I was amazed by what she made for us. I knew I had to share her with our Doctor Mom community to hear about her holiday plans and some tips and tricks with us so we can have a healthy holiday season and new year!
Topics Discussed:
Healthy holiday dishes that are simple and inspiring
How to take any dessert and use nutrient-dense ingredients
Focusing on vegetable side dishes before you plan the entire menu
How to use spices to spice-up a holiday dish!
Ways to increase nutrient-dense foods for your kids with fun simple ideas
