Rooted in Wellness with Mona Sharma 86. Staying Well When Life Gets Full: A Holiday Q&A (Part 1)
What if the holidays weren’t something you had to recover from, but a chance to return to your natural rhythm?
Today on Rooted in Wellness, I’m answering your top questions about how to feel grounded, nourished, and supported through a season that often disrupts our routines. I break down how to strengthen immunity, support digestion, reduce bloating, and stay energized using both Ayurvedic principles and modern functional science.
We explore mindful ways to enjoy nostalgic holiday foods without guilt, how to regulate your nervous system around emotional triggers, and simple rituals, like warm morning tonics, post-meal walks, herbal teas, and breathwork, that help you stay balanced even when schedules shift.
I also share realistic tools for traveling, drinking mindfully, and navigating family dynamics with more ease and intention. This episode is an invitation to choose nourishment over perfection and stay rooted in what helps your body feel safe, calm, and well.
