The holidays can turn your routine into chaos fast. Family gatherings, travel, food pressure, alcohol, and that “I’ll restart in January” mindset.

In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast (Stress Series), we break down how to navigate holiday stress without ruining your progress: how to handle big meals without guilt, why missing a few workouts won’t make you lose muscle, how to stay active while traveling, and how to deal with food pushers and social pressure without sounding preachy.

You’ll also hear practical strategies like prioritizing protein, plating your food (instead of grazing), avoiding the binge-restrict cycle, and resetting after overeating with simple, normal habits. Not punishment cardio.

Plus: a fun “Naughty or Nice” holiday fitness quiz to wrap it up.

Question for you: Where do you struggle most during the holidays — food pressure, missed workouts, or the guilt spiral after?
