Many of us eat (a lot) over the holidays, then greet the new year with a resolution to get it together — eat healthier, maybe have a dry couple of months, go alcohol-free, get more active.

Allen is a family medicine doctor and the host of the podcast “Millennial Health.” She practices in central Minnesota.
