Maybe you’re waking up to darker, colder mornings, or reaching for those comforting carbs a little more often. You’re not imagining it—seasonal changes really do affect how we feel, both physically and mentally. And the truth is, these shifts can sometimes leave us feeling drained, moody, and out of sync with our usual rhythms. Actually, there is a reason why this happens… and that’s exactly what I’m talking about in this week’s episode of Rooted in Wellness.  I'll break down why colder, overcast days might make you crave more warmth (and caffeine!) and how this can impact your mental clarity and motivation.
