Winter is the building season. Days are shorter, people spend more time inside, and everything naturally slows down. This season is my favorite time for preparation, focus, healing, and planning.

I learned early on in my life that moving my body really helps boost my mood. In the winter especially, it helps me sleep more deeply, and gives my days some structure when everything outside feels dark and depressing. Anything that gets my body warm helps me feel more like myself again.

Eating with the seasons is a practical way to support your body. During the colder months, focus shifts to hardy vegetables and fruits that store well or thrive in low temperatures. These foods provide the fiber and nutrients necessary to maintain energy and support the immune system.
