Heart Healthy for the Holidays

The holidays bring joy, celebration, and connection — but they can also bring stress, sugar, and long to-do lists. Heart Healthy for the Holidays is a community-centered wellness workshop designed to help you protect your heart, maintain balance, and thrive during one of the busiest seasons of the year.

✔️ Nutrition experts sharing heart-healthy food tips that work in real-life holiday settings
✔️ Mental health professionals teaching practical ways to reduce stress and protect your emotional well-being
✔️ Simple, everyday movement and wellness habits to keep you energized
✔️ Culturally grounded insights for supporting Black and Brown communities
✔️ A warm, supportive space to learn, ask questions, and connect with others
