Hey there, holiday warriors! 🎁 Feeling that festive frenzy kicking in? You're not alone. I'm Kris Adair, FNP-BC, your go-to hormone specialist who's seen it all and taken care of many of you—from the sugar highs to the stress-induced meltdowns. Let's get real: the holidays can send your hormones on a wild ride, and it's time we talk about it.


The Not-So-Merry Hormone Havoc:

Between the never-ending to-do lists, Aunt Karen's unsolicited advice, and that third slice of pie, our hormones are practically screaming for mercy. Here's what's really going down and causing your hormonal rollercoaster:


  • Cortisol Spikes: Stress overload is sending your cortisol through the roof.

  • Mood Swings: One minute you're decking the halls, the next you're ready to deck someone.

  • Energy Crashes: Running on caffeine and holiday cookies isn't cutting it.

  • Metabolic Mischief: Those extra indulgences are playing games with your metabolism.


Five No-Nonsense Tips to Keep Your Hormones Happy:


  1. Sleep Like It's Your Job: Netflix can wait. Clock in those 7-9 hours and stick to a sleep schedule—even if the party's still going.

  2. Eat Real Food (Most of the Time): Enjoy the treats but don't make sugar and alcohol your main food groups. Balance is everything.

  3. Stress? Tell It to Take a Hike: Literally. If meditation isn't your thing, go for a walk, blast your favorite music, or have a mini dance party.

  4. Move, Even When You Don't Want To: A 30-minute workout can do wonders. No gym? No problem. Bodyweight exercises or a brisk stroll will do.

  5. Set Boundaries Like a Boss: It's okay to say "no" without explaining yourself. Your energy is precious—protect it.


Let's Cut to the Chase:

Your hormone health is non-negotiable. Forget striving for some picture-perfect holiday. Prioritize you, unapologetically.


🩺 Need a Game Plan? If you're nodding along thinking, "Yep, that's me," it's time to take action. At Adair Clinic, we're all about creating personalized hormone health strategies that fit your life—not the other way around.


Ready to own this holiday season without losing your mind (or your hormones)? Give us a call at (602) 567-7856 or visit www.adairclinic.com to book your consultation.


Stay fierce, stay balanced, and let's make this your best holiday season yet!
