Stress-Less December:A kinder way to count down to Christmas

Gentle daily practices to help you move through December with more calm, clarity, and ease,  curated by Dr Zuzi, Integrative, Functional & Lifestyle Medicine Specialist 

December can be one of the most demanding times of the year. Deadlines, family commitments, social expectations, travel, and end-of-year fatigue often leave us starting January already depleted.

Stress-Less December is a calm alternative to the traditional Advent calendar.
Across 24 days, you’ll receive simple, evidence-informed micro-practices that support your nervous system, reduce stress, and help you move through December with more steadiness, clarity, and ease.

Each day brings a short, practical action you can complete in just a few minutes. These tools are designed to be gentle, effective, and easy to integrate into real life — not just in December, but all year round.

If you’d like to end the year feeling more grounded and less overwhelmed, you’re warmly invited to join.

• One short wellbeing practice a day (no more than five minutes)
• Gentle, evidence-informed support for your nervous system
• Reduced stress, improved sleep, and increased calm and clarity
• Easy to integrate, even with a busy schedule

Stress-Less December was created from both professional training and lived experience.

Burnout was the turning point that led me to change my professional direction and train in integrative, lifestyle and functional medicine. I know first-hand how subtle and cumulative stress can be, and how easy it is to keep going until the body finally demands attention.

Since then, I have spent years studying the physiology of stress and the practical ways to counter it. I have supported many patients in my clinic through burnout, fatigue, and nervous system overload. This programme brings together what I have learned through science, clinical practice, and personal healing in a way that is simple, practical, and achievable in everyday life.

Stress-Less December is offered freely because prevention matters. It is my Christmas gift to the world — a small thank you for a professional and personal path that has been deeply rewarding.

Small actions done consistently can change how the body handles pressure, not just in December, but year-round.
