[Bonus Episode] The Top 3 Reasons We Get Depressed During The Holidays w/ Karen Hurd

On today's episode, Karen Hurd joins Luis to discuss the top three reasons (from a biochemistry perspective), why we get depressed, activated, and dysregulated during the holiday season.

They are:
1) chemical & natural fragrances
2) refined carbohydrates
3) sugars

They parse each apart, and dive deeply into the way that the body responds to these highly concentrated substances. Karen even shares her recipe for potato-less mashed potatoes and gluten-free no-sugar pumpkin-less pumpkin pie!
