In the newest episode, titled “How To Survive Thanksgiving,” she offers tips and strategies for how to make it through the Thanksgiving holiday without losing control. She suggests that trigger foods may be correlated with specific emotions. She says, “If you are drawn to pumpkin pie and sweets, maybe you need more comfort and sweetness in your life.”
Dr. Nina also helps normalize real family dynamics during the holidays. She asks listeners, “Does it seem as if everyone else is living in a Hallmark commercial, full of peace, love and happiness - and your family is more like a reality show?”

She provides guidelines for how to respond to comments about weight or food choices.
