E163 - Pumpkin Spice Season Affective Disorder

Dr. Kim Lannon wants us to be more aware of the effects that shorter days and the changing environment have on our state of mind as we head into fall, particularly here in the Northeast. That additional awareness can help you balance those changes by paying more attention to the foundations of your mindset, sleep, diet, and exercise. Kim gives us a primer on the mechanics of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and how to effectively combat them without relying on prescriptions.
