Winter Wellness, Made Simple
Winter doesn’t ask us to do more; it asks us to do what matters. In today's episode, we dig into a practical, earth-based approach to seasonal wellness where warm food, steady movement, and deeper rest work together to calm the nervous system, support digestion, and strengthen immunity during the winter months.
Drawing from Ayurveda and circadian science, we translate “winter energy” into clear actions you can take this season to create better balance & optimal health, without complicated rules or rigid routines.
You will learn:
- Why aligning to the season improves mood, sleep, and metabolic balance
- What foods & self-practices will best support winter energy
- How brief outdoor light right after sunrise stabilizes your internal clock even on cloudy days, and how simple lymph movers—dry brushing, bouncing, breath work—prevent that heavy, stuck feeling winter can bring.
- Which evening strategies, like dimmer lights, earlier dinners, hot baths, and device light control, will protect melatonin and deepen sleep.
- A simple winter solstice ritual to welcome in the new season & best prepare for the year ahead.
- And then finally how to improve immune resilience with hydration, sleep consistency, vitamin D, mushrooms, garlic, citrus, green tea, and easy at-the-ready remedies like medicinal honey and bone broth.
Everything is designed to be doable, adaptable to your climate, and anchored in the simple truth that health improves when we move with nature’s tempo.
