Seasonal affective disorder — aka SAD or winter depression — is a type of depression that directly correlates to the changing of the seasons. SAD can be linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain prompted by shorter daylight hours and less sunlight in winter. Roughly 13 million people in the US suffer from seasonal depression (mostly women) Here are some symptoms of the big SAD: 😔 Feelings of depression that happen most of the day, every day, in a seasonal pattern 💤 Tiredness or low energy 🥱 Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy ⚖️ Changes in appetite or weight gain 🛌 Sleep issues or sleeping too much I’ve personally experienced SAD every year since moving from Southern California to Northern California, so trust me when I say that I understand the struggle 😅 So if you struggle with SAD, know you’re not alone! AND, know that there are ways to combat your seasonal depression 🙌🏼 because you deserve to feel good all year long! In this episode, I share more about what exactly SAD is, what causes SAD and my top tips for combatting your symptoms of seasonal depression holistically 🫶🏼 Links from this episode: Hatch Sunrise Alarm Clock⁠ ⁠Happy Light Ready to optimize your metabolism, hormones and gut health by addressing the root cause, so you can finally live your best life?

I know things might seem hard right now… Maybe the winter blues are hitting, you hate the holidays, you’re just in a funk or you’re busy AF and feel like there’s not enough time for anything. I get it, trust me! I’m going through shit too, but here’s the thing 👇🏼 If you continue to make everyone else a priority before yourself, you’re going to continue feeling burnt out AF girlie pop 🫣 “you cannot pour from an empty cup” Translation: in order for us to effectively take care of others, we must first take care of ourselves 👏🏼👏🏼 You might think that making yourself a priority is selfish, but I promise you it’s not. Self-care allows us to maintain balance and continue functioning like a well-oiled machine that increases our ability to help care for others. You wouldn’t expect your car to run continuously for 5,000 miles without stopping for gas or having its oil changed, right? 🚗 Same concept applies to you! If you’re constantly running on E, you’re not going to function properly — which means you can’t show up 100% in other aspects of your life. 🪫 Self care isn’t just bubble baths and skincare, although that’s very much needed sometimes. I’m talking about doing the things you keep putting off that you know will better your quality of life: getting some movement in, daily devotional, eating breakfast, scheduling the doctors appointment, planning out your day, prioritizing sleep, journaling. Yes, it’s hard prioritizing yourself — but it’s a lot harder constantly feeling tired and burnt out 🫠 I’m challenging you to start prioritizing yourself!

What’s the actual deal with cycle syncing?! 🏋🏻‍♀️ Listen, we know as women that our energy levels and hormones fluctuate throughout the month because of our cycles. BUT you don’t have to skip your strength training workouts just because Aunt Flo is in town 🙅🏻‍♀️🩸 Instead, try tweaking your program by lowering the intensity of your workouts or taking an extra rest day to adjust to the changing hormones (like I did last week). Basing your training intensity on your menstrual cycle can help… ➡️ Improve performance + recovery ➡️ Become more resilient to stressors + adaptations ➡️ Support hormonal balancing ➡️ Mitigate unnecessary fatigue/injury And more! Now, I know everyone’s body is different. This is why I preach to you and all my HL 1:1 clients to listen to your body and do what feels best for you. Whether you feel like crushing PRs during your period or you want to hide under the covers, getting in sync with your body allows you to understand your body’s needs better 🙌🏼 When we adopt approaches that are designed to work with our female biological distinctions — we will start to see amazing results. In this episode, I share my thoughts on the whole cycle syncing workout trend, debunk some myths and give you tangible steps for adjusting your workouts according to your cycle 💪🏼 … and if you’re ready to feel like yourself again + learn how to eat AND train in sync with your cycle, you know where to find me 😉 Ready to optimize your hormones and metabolism and finally achieve your fat loss goals?
