Dimity and Sarah welcome Janet Helm, a registered dietitian in Chicago, on the show. The author of The Food Lover’s Healthy Habits Cookbook: Great Food & Expert Advice that Will Change Your Life and a mom of twins, Janet blasts away nutrition myths and misinformation and gives heaping helpings of holiday eating advice. Find out what triggers overeating—and how to move on—and why you need to give up the idea of perfection. (Both in your eating and your exercise!) Be prepared to drool in the final third of the show, when talk turns to examples of how taste and health can co-exist. The mother runners suspect you’ll buy a head of cauliflower within a day of listening to this episode—but probably not a Fathead!

Reminder: We hope to hear from you! We want you to record a voice memo on your smartphone in which you either reflect back on a major accomplishment in 2015 or you cast forward and tell us your 2016 goals and aspirations. Please record a voice memo in which you tell us your first name, how many kids you have, and where you’re calling from, then either your 2015 accomplishment or your 2016 goal. Please keep your entire voice memo to 90 seconds or less. Email it to us at: runmother [at] gmail [dot] com by Monday, December 21.

We want to have a slew of voice memos from a range of mother runners, so implore you to take the time to record and send one to us. Thanks in advance!
