Tis the season for overindulgence.

The holidays are a difficult time for many of us to stay on track with our healthy choices.

Butana Aiman is joining us to share that it could be as simple as taking on a warrior mindset to a healthier holiday season on this episode of Live Happy Now.

The ancient Greeks defined happiness as the joy you feel moving towards your potential.

To think about positive psychology, it's a science, and it's actually younger than the

internet, believe it or not. The reality is that social connection is in the research,

the greatest predictor we have of long-term happiness.

You have some factors in your control.

They can promote the health and resilience and growth of your absolutely most important asset,

which is your brain.

And so it all comes down to understanding ourselves.

There's a way for all of us to succeed, but it might take different things.

We're all looking for the same thing, and that's a way to bring a little bit more joy to our day. Join us as we look at the many different paths that lead us to that happy place. This is Live Happy Now. Hello and greetings and welcome to another edition of the Live Happy Now podcast. I am your host, J.R. Houston. Please that you are joining us wherever you are in the world. However, you may be listening, thank you for making us a part of your day. If you are someone who is making the choice to be happier and bringing more happiness into each and every day, we encourage you not only to keep listening to this podcast, that's very, very important, but also check out Live Happy Magazine. You can find it wherever magazines are sold. You can also get a digital edition and take it with you everywhere if you can access the Apple Store or the Google Play Store, which I think just about everybody can these days. Well, our guest this week is all about making healthier choices, and it might mean a warrior mindset as we head into the holiday season.

Tony Aymann is the executive vice president of Aman Clinics and a New York Times best-selling author of The Omni Diet.

Her personal mission is to help people become warriors for their brains and bodies by arming

them with the tools and knowledge to win the fight of their lives.

Her new book, The Brain Warrior's Way, focuses on this warrior mindset when improving the health of your brain and your body.

For Tanna, I'm really happy that you're here today because I don't know that there's a better person out there to talk to us about holiday food than you.

Can you tell us a little bit, you know, as we come into the holiday season, we're thinking

about food in the holidays and most of the time we think about calories and weight gain,

but can you put in perspective some of the other things that foods are doing for us and

affecting us as we're consuming these holiday treats?
