“With the silly season fast approaching it is time to put some guidelines into place. In keeping things practical and manageable, here are three easy steps you can take to support your gastrointestinal health, prevent adrenal burnout and to indulge in the Christmas offerings without compromise this season,” says Smouha.

Gut loving tricks A change in diet and lifestyle including celebratory foods, an extra glass of wine or two, and increased stress, can push the normally healthy community of organisms inside us towards dysbiosis, an over-abundance of pathogenic organisms such as Candida. To prevent this, increase your consumption of fermented foods like kombucha, fermented vegetables, yoghurt, kefir, even unpasteurised miso, as they deliver health promoting bacteria to keep the bad guys at bay.
Immune prevention by way of some extra adrenal love Burning the candle at both ends can leave you depleted and vulnerable – who wants to come down with a cold or flu when everyone else is out kicking their heels up? Support your adrenals by giving them their three favourite nutrients: B Vitamins, Vitamin C and Magnesium. Cold pressed juices, particularly those focused on root vegetable like carrots and beetroot, are an excellent inclusion, as well as green leafy vegetables.
Making intermittent fasting work for you By reducing the period of time of food consumption, you give your body a chance to repair. Skipping breakfast is a game changer for some, or simply swapping out breakfast and adding a supportive elixir like bulletproof coffees, match lattes or golden milk. But for those who can’t cope without their normal breakfast, skipping dinner or swapping it for a light broth, miso, Pho or the likes is another. Ideally try and limit your hours of consuming solid foods to an 8-hour window and enjoy more clarity, more energy and less weight gain. “The secret to having the most out of the season is to BE the person you want to become,” says Dr Doley. “It is easier to be our best self when things are calm and measured. This year, when the season tests you, look within, focusing on self-discovery and personal growth as the path to a truly satisfying life.”
