Episode notes

If the winter blues are hitting hard and you’ve been feeling a little more SAD lately, you’re not alone. As the temperature drops and the mornings/evenings continue to be dark AF, it’s harder to feel positive and energetic these days (hellllllo, Blue Monday). But Seasonal Depression doesn’t need to be the status quo.

If you’re feeling exhausted, depressed, irritable, like you have no interest in the things that used to bring you joy, and like your appetite and sleep cycle are out of whack, this episode is a must-listen for practical, medical, and mindset tips for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder.

None of us should feel depressed for an entire season. So I called in the biohacking pro, Chloe Deutscher.
