Celebration Doesn’t Have to Cost You Your Health. Here’s the Shift.
There’s a burnout that shows up quietly in December. Not just from sugar or stress, but from self-abandonment disguised as tradition.
It starts with a subtle override: saying “yes” when “no” would be more truthful. Committing to events that already feel heavy. Numbing with food and performance instead of connection. And the body, unable to speak in words, uses the language it’s always used: symptoms.
Bloating, fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, immune crashes—none of these are mysteries. They’re data points. Physical evidence that the nervous system isn’t just overstimulated—it’s overstretched. And these signals don’t come out of nowhere. They’re signs that the body’s been trying to communicate—and hasn’t been heard.
When the mind continues to follow outdated, self-sabotaging programming, the body registers that disconnection as a breach of trust. It knows when your choices aren’t aligned. It knows when you override your own clarity to avoid conflict or keep up appearances. It knows when you’re no longer listening to its intelligence—and instead, giving your attention to old stories. And it will keep speaking—louder each time—until it’s clear you’re willing to hear it.
The body is not simply a machine that breaks down. It is a living intelligence—wired for adaptation, regeneration, and survival. It knows how to heal. It knows what’s safe. But it also knows when the mind is not present. When the mind has handed the wheel back to patterns, the body goes into alert. Symptoms escalate. Not as punishment—but as protection.
Trust is not built when you “fix” your body. It’s built when you stay with it—when your awareness shows up consistently, even in the moments that used to trigger default behaviors. When your choices come from connection, not performance. When your nervous system knows it’s not going to be dragged through another holiday season on autopilot.
This isn’t about restriction or control. It’s about relationships. A moment-to-moment partnership with your own physiology. And it starts before the event ever begins.
Stability isn’t created during the crash. It’s created in the foundation. Nutrient-dense food, hydration with minerals, sleep that restores—not just counts hours. A quiet check-in: “How do I want to feel when this is over?” That one question changes behavior more than any rule or plan.
“After watching the mental health masterclass, I gained a deeper understanding of how stress, anxiety, and depression can be linked to trauma. I realized that clients facing these challenges need our help to achieve mental clarity. They come to us with solutions they struggle to implement on their own and need someone to talk to. This holistic approach to mental health is truly invaluable.” – William M., July 2024 [See more]
Bringing a Holistic Holiday Table to Life
By Greg Platz, Chief Executive Officer, Modern Holistic Health
One of the questions I hear many times from friends, family, and our community is:
“How do I enjoy the holidays and still feel good in my body?”
I don’t believe the answer is restriction or white-knuckling your way through December. I think it’s intention, and having options that feel both comforting and genuinely nourishing.
That’s why all of us here at Modern Holistic Health created The Holistic Holiday Table recipe book to give you a way to say yes to celebration, flavor, and tradition, without saying no to your body or your health. Inside, you’ll find recipes that are gluten free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free (or easily adaptable), designed to be anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense, and will be the favorite dishes at any holiday gathering (without anyone even knowing it’s ‘healthy’!)
Think:
Comforting breakfasts & brunches like Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding that keep your blood sugar steadier than the usual pastry-and-coffee rush.
Body warming soups and mains like Creamy Parsnip & Apple Soup, Bison Sweet Potato Chili, and Greg’s Herb & Garlic Roasted Leg of Lamb with Honey-Thyme Root Vegetables, hearty, grounding, and designed with winter in mind.
Festive sides such as Maple-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Pecans or Sweet Potato Mash with Coconut Milk & Nutmeg that quietly support detox pathways and nervous system balance while everyone just tastes “yum.”
Treats & mocktails like Paleo Gingersnap Cookies, Almond Butter Fudge Squares, Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake, Cranberry Rosemary Mocktails, and Sparkling Pomegranate Mocktails, desserts and drinks that feel indulgent but are created with clean ingredients and your hormones, gut, and brain in mind.
In other words, it’s comfort food, but upgraded, designed to love you back.
Three Simple Ways to Use This eBook All Season Long
You don’t have to overhaul your entire menu. Start small and let these recipes quietly support you:
1. Choose one “anchor” recipe each week.
Maybe it’s a big pot of Kale & Butternut Squash Soup, Bison Sweet Potato Chili, or a batch of Harvest Chicken Hash for breakfast. When you have at least one grounding, nutrient-dense option ready to go, you’re less likely to end up in the “cookies and coffee for dinner” loop.

Unlock Your Power for Miraculous Health & Wellness: A Guided Repatterning Session
This guided repatterning session was originally recorded as a blessing for those entering 2023—but its impact is truly timeless. The inner work it teaches transcends dates, seasons, and years. Whether you’re preparing for 2026, beginning a new chapter, or simply sensing that you’re ready for a shift, this session will meet you exactly where you are.
In this powerful video, Rosita and Dr. V lead you step-by-step through a process to help you:
- Identify and release limiting beliefs
- Break old subconscious patterns
- Create new neural pathways that support healing
- Align your mind and body for your highest wellness potential
This is more than a mindset exercise—it’s a deeply supportive, energetic reset designed to reconnect you with your innate ability to heal, grow, and receive the “miracles” your body has been capable of all along.
No matter when you watch, this session is an invitation to recommit to yourself, rewire what no longer serves you, and step into the healthiest version of who you’re becoming.
Whenever you’re ready, press play. Your transformation starts the moment you say yes.
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Shake Out — And Why It Works
In this short but powerful session, Rosita guides you through an SNS Shake Out—a gentle, rhythmic movement practice that helps your body release stored tension and calm an overactive nervous system. When the sympathetic system (your fight-or-flight response) stays “on” for too long, it can create anxiety, tightness, irritability, brain fog, and even physical pain.
The Shake Out works by:
- Discharging accumulated stress hormones
- Releasing muscular tension held in the shoulders, spine, and hips
- Interrupting looping stress patterns in the brain
- Reactivating the body’s natural relaxation response
- Creating an immediate sense of safety, clarity, and grounding
It’s simple. It’s quick. And it’s one of the most effective ways to reset your nervous system when you’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or carrying more than you realize.
Encourage your body to let go—just a few minutes of shaking can create noticeable shifts in mood, energy, and ease.
Press play and follow along; your nervous system will thank you.

Gentle Prep for January: The 30-Day Metabolic Reset
I never aim for a “perfect” holiday. I enjoy the special meals, the treats, and the parties. And I’ve also learned that my body does best when I have a plan for repair and reset, especially as we move into January.
That’s why I’ll be focusing on BioOne Sciences 30-Day Metabolic Reset in the new year, and why I’m sharing it with you now. I want you to have time to look it over, ask questions, and, if it resonates, have everything on hand so January feels supported, not frantic.
This particular Standard Bundle is especially well-suited if you:
Tend to be sensitive to chemicals, fragrances, or foods
Struggle with allergies or gut issues
Suspect you’re carrying a heavier toxic burden and need a gentler on-ramp to detox
Rather than a harsh cleanse, this program is designed to support your body’s own detox and repair systems:
MCM Detox – helps lower inflammation and support the “metabolic engines” of your cells while binding and escorting toxins out, so your body isn’t trying to do all the work alone.
TCG Activation – uses humic and fulvic acids to drive minerals and hydration into your cells, support your mitochondria (your energy factories), and gently help break down biofilms so detox is more complete and effective.
Liver GB Detox Complete – nourishes your liver and gallbladder, supports bile flow, and helps your body actually process and eliminate what it’s releasing, rather than just stirring things up.
VegE Cleanse – a plant-based detox shake that offers clean protein and superfoods to support gut repair, liver function, and cellular energy while delivering nutrients your body can actually use.
Think of it as giving your liver, gut, mitochondria, and cells a month-long exhale.
I’ll be talking more about how to use this as a January reset, in a way that’s aligned with nervous-system safety and not punishment.
For now, if you already know your body is asking for a deeper reset after the holidays, get your bundle ahead of time so you’re ready to start with us in January:
