EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Are your holidays derailing your health goals—or defining your FUTURE YOU? In this Midweek MindSHIFT, Dallas Amsden brings the heat (and a little fajita sizzle) with a powerful discussion on mindful eating, holiday habits, and how your small daily decisions affect your long-term trajectory. This isn't just about food—it's about identity, relationships, and becoming the best version of your FUTURE YOU. Whether you're deep in a fasting protocol, navigating the chaos of family gatherings, or just trying to avoid another food-coma couch crash, this episode delivers real strategies with real charm.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why most people plan holidays around food — and what to do instead
- How to train your brain (and your taste buds) to eat with intention
- 10 quick-hit tips to rewire how you experience mealtime
- The difference between a product and real food
- What it means to plan for a “refeed” like a FUTURE YOU would
- Why savoring food goes beyond just taste
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- There are two versions of your FUTURE YOU — and you’re becoming one of them with every bite
- Planning holidays around connection, not just food, changes everything
- Gratitude isn’t just spiritual — it rewires your eating behavior
- Distractions during meals disrupt connection and digestion
- Eating slowly and mindfully makes overeating nearly impossible
- Walking after meals keeps dopamine high and cortisol low
- Real food fuels real futures — products don’t
