The holidays are coming — and so is the sugar storm.

But guess what? You can celebrate without sacrificing your sanity or your goals.

Here’s your Green Goddess game plan:

Choose your joy foods, not your guilt foods.

- Drink water like it’s your job.
- Sip slow, sparkle more.
- Pause. Breathe. Savor.

You don’t need to detox, restrict, or “start over” in January. You just need balance, awareness, and a little Coach Ingrid attitude.

I invite you to join me for my latest free workshop to create a strategy for navigating the holidays, and pick up some aweskme tricks and recipes!

Did you know some fruits and veggies are basically pesticide magnets — even after you scrub them like you’re trying to erase 2020?

That’s why the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 exist.

Every year, the EWG releases its list of the produce most (and least) likely to come with a side of chemicals.

And guess what?

The 2025 list just dropped, and it’s… enlightening. Let’s just say some of our favorites need a little “handle with caution” energy.

Stick with me — I’ll tell you what to buy organic and what you can toss in your cart without feeling like you’re snacking on science experiments.

When shopping for fruits and vegetables, it’s important to know which ones are most likely to carry pesticide residues, even after washing. That’s where the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 come in.

Nutrition is directly linked to health and disease, but here's the thing: the impact of your diet might involve more than just stuffing your face with pizza or carefully planning your meals.

The order in which you eat your food could also play a role, because, why not? It's not like you need to dissect your next omelet or casserole like a science experiment, but when you've got the chance to take a bite of one food before another, it's worth considering the benefits.

Possible benefits of meal sequencing: basically, anything you put in your body affects how it functions, and many of those effects happen during the postprandial (fed) state, which is just a fancy way of saying 'after you eat.'

Your body spends a solid six hours or more in this state after each meal, so yeah, that's a big deal.

Experts want to figure out how to minimize the negative impacts during this state, and one possible way is by changing the order in which you eat your food.

Some research suggests that eating fiber, protein, and fats before consuming refined carbs (like sugar, white flour, and white rice) might offer some health benefits during the postprandial state, because who doesn't love a good health benefit?

For more info on how to address your own nutrition concerns and to get a realistic strategy for getting through the holidays, I invite you to book a free “Kick Your Sugar Cravings” session with me!

BRAIN: Sugar gives a quick burst of energy, followed by a crash that leaves you tired and craving more. Over time, it can also rewire your brain's reward system, making sugar harder to resist.

MOUTH: Sugar feeds the bacteria that produce acids, wearing down your enamel and increasing your risk of cavities. Over time, it can also disrupt the balance
of healthy bacteria.

HEART: Too much sugar raises blood pressure, triglycerides, and LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Over time, this puts extra strain on your heart and increases your
cardiovascular risk.

LIVER: Excess sugar, especially fructose, is converted into fat in the liver. Too much buildup can lead to MASLD, a
growing cause of liver disease.

PANCREAS: Frequent sugar spikes force your pancreas to release more insulin. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance,
a major risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.

GUT: Fructose from sugary drinks and processed foods can be hard to absorb. When it lingers, bacteria ferment it, causing bloating, gas, and discomfort.

FAT STORAGE: Extra sugar often turns into visceral fat around the organs. This "hidden fat" drives inflammation and raises your risk of heart,disease and insulin resistance.

JOINTS: Breaking down fructose produces uric acid, which can build up in the joints. Over time, this raises the risk of painful gout flare-ups.

From energy dips to long-term health risks,
sugar's effects run deeper than you think.

Over the past two decades, the global prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has escalated at an alarming rate, and this trend is only expected to worsen.

The current situation merely scratches the surface of a far more complex issue. What was once a rare condition in the early 20th century, primarily affecting older adults, has transformed into one of the most widespread chronic diseases worldwide. Moreover, the skyrocketing rates of diabetes among children and teenagers are particularly concerning.

Approximately two in ten Americans currently live with diabetes, while over one in three adults have prediabetes, according to official statistics. However, the actual number of individuals with insulin resistance would likely be significantly higher if properly assessed by medical professionals.

Globally, over 500 million people are currently living with diabetes, with projections indicating that this number will approach one billion within the next 15 years.

What factors are driving this epidemic, aside from lifestyle choices? A multi-billion-dollar diabetes industry is a significant contributor. Estimates suggest that the global diabetes care market will reach nearly $250 billion by 2030, largely driven by lifelong pharmaceutical prescriptions.

This is a staggering figure.

This month I'm going totally crazy and posting daily in the name of love, because let's face it, the world could use a serious dose of it right about now.

Today, I'm feeling inspired to share how love has been a force for healing in my life.

Once upon a very real time, my life was a storm—chaotic, exhausting, and heavy with battles I didn’t ask for. Illness had me cornered, fatigue stole my spark, and fear whispered that maybe this was just how life would be.

But then came love.

Not the soft, rom-com kind of love, but the fierce, back-alley-brawling kind—the kind that throws down with despair and says, not today, sweetheart.

Love showed up in unexpected ways: in the quiet strength of my family, in the sparkle of friendships that refused to let me dim, and in my own stubborn decision to love myself enough to fight for better. It was love that nudged me to trade self loathing for sanity, excuses for effort, and “someday” for “right now.”

Love became my personal hype-woman, rolling her eyes at my pity parties and shoving me back onto my own damn throne.

And slowly, that love healed. It stitched together the cracks illness left behind, reminded me that scars are just proof I’ve survived, and taught me to laugh even when life still tries to throw shade.

Love didn’t just patch me up—it remade me, sassier, stronger, and impossible to ignore.

Now I stand here, not just living but thriving, proof that love is the fiercest medicine of them all.
