Description


SAD isn’t a simple lack of motivation or laziness; it’s a circadian timing problem. In this episode we unpack the biology, the common signs, and the small, repeatable habits that lift winter mood and energy.


You’ll learn

  • What SAD is (and how it differs from “winter blues”)
  • How short daylight shifts your body clock, sleep, hormones and appetite
  • The biggest lever
  • Food & routine basics for steadier energy
  • Sleep anchors and wind-down choreography,
  • When to seek extra support


Join the cohort: Breaking SAD

A 12-week, evidence-based programme: light therapy done right, sleep & daily routines, nutrition for winter, low-day tools, holidays/workplace support and much more.
