How to Survive Thanksgiving & Holiday Parties Without Triggering a Massive Autoimmune Flare (Even When Your Family Thinks ‘Gluten-Free’ Means Sad Cardboard)

Are you dreading Thanksgiving because you know you’ll pay for it with a massive autoimmune flare in December?

You’re not alone. Thousands of professional women with Hashimoto’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MCAS, or other autoimmune diseases search every year for “how to survive holidays with autoimmune disease” or “thanksgiving Hashimoto's or Sjogren's, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis flare ” and this episode is the exact roadmap my private clients are using right now to enjoy pie, laughter, and twinkle lights without waking up in January feeling like they got hit by a truck.

You’ll discover:

• Why your body feels like a Sims character who hasn’t peed in 3 days during the holidays (and how to hit pause)
• The 48-Hour Rule that lets you change plans without guilt (my client Sarah went from hosting 22 people to brunch-only and saved her entire December)
• The Pretty Plate Strategy so you’re the hero bringing the dessert everyone wants instead of the “weird diet” person
• The Bathroom Rescue Kit I tell every client to keep in their purse (peppermint oil + Loops + vagus nerve hack)
• The 4-minute art prompt that drops inflammation by calming your nervous system fast (science-backed)
• What managers/HR need to know when your rock-star employee suddenly needs more sick days in December

Plus a free Holiday Survival Guide with meal plans, scripts for food pushers, and daily rhythm checklist at desireewerland.com/holiday (link also below – grab it before it comes down Jan 2nd)

For every high-achieving woman with autoimmune disease who’s exhausted from choosing between her health and her ambitions — this episode is for you.
