Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck
Hello, I'm Dr. Heather Heck and I'm a little unique in that I hold credentials in both eastern and western medicine. I actually just closed my physical practice and now I want to share all of my knowledge and real-life experiences with you.
Not only that, but I'm also a mother and I have had so many mom-patients who just want to know how to best create a healthy environment for their kids. I plan to share all the ways I try and do this in my own home. My goal is to help YOU find the good, better, and best options in your whole body health through education and making sure you're aware of all of the holistic options you have. I am hoping this podcast is the start of many conversations and that I can positively impact your life, even if just by listening! Follow-me: https://linktr.ee/doctorheck

Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Are You Ready for the Holidays
Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.
In this episode, we explore how to indulge in your favorite sentimental foods without overdoing it. Now that I'm a clinical nutritionist and I've had more than a decade of monitoring my own nutrition and well-being as well as my patients, I've found that it's all about striking the right balance, so you can enjoy those special moments without the discomfort or stress that sometimes follows.
We'll share some realistic tips and tricks for managing portions and cravings, like the ancient wisdom of the Hara hachi bu philosophy or using herbs like Gymnema Sylvestre—nature’s original appetite suppressant. Plus, we'll dive into cinnamon and ginger root's benefits and how they support overall wellness.
🎧 Key Takeaways:
- Be mindful of your goals and set realistic expectations.
- Simple tips: eat before gatherings, savor your meals, drink water, and even try popping a stick of gum or mint right after eating!
Try low-calorie versions of your holiday favorites (like banana-based holiday nog!)
- Remember that it’s not just about the food; it’s about the company and memories.
- Tune in to discover how to enjoy the holiday season and special occasions with less stress and more joy!
