The Daily Bruin

The holiday season presents an assortment of demands: shopping, cooking, cleaning and entertaining, to name a few. Pandemic-induced stress and anxiety only add to the mix, meaning your holiday plans probably look and feel much different this year.

This month, Will and Colleen sit down with Dr. Miles Hassell from the Providence Comprehensive Risk Reduction Clinic and author of Good Food, Great Medicine to discuss tips and strategies to help turn this holiday season into an opportunity to improve your overall well-being.

Listen to Episode 7: “Surviving the Holiday Season” of the Healthy Bites Podcast, sponsored by the Providence Health Plan, here.

In this podcast, the Providence team will discuss:

• Tips to include physical activity into your holiday schedule
• Healthy food choices during social gatherings
• Lifestyle choices to improve your immunity
