In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah explores strategies for maintaining wellness as the seasons shift to fall and winter. She focuses on melatonin as the 'master winter hormone,' linking it to overall health alongside vitamin D. Sarah shares personal experiences and tips for combating seasonal depression by optimizing circadian rhythms through exposure to natural light, proper nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments. She also provides resources like free eBooks and discusses tools like her Circadian app to help integrate these practices into daily routines. The episode covers practical advice for managing indoor environments, meal timing, and nighttime lighting to enhance melatonin production and overall well-being during the darker months.
