Is the cold outside keeping you from exercising? Do you feel down, or anxious, or stressed?

In this episode, we’re going to tackle why exercise is so important to keep up even in the winter and how that boosts your mental health!

Winter’s shorter, darker days can impact mood, energy, sleep, and stress—regardless of where you live. Exercise is one of the most powerful tools to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Outdoor movement mimics light therapy, boosts serotonin and endorphins, lowers cortisol, improves sleep, enhances brain function, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system for stress management. Even indoor movement helps. Combined with eating well, Mediterranean diet recipes, strength training, and good time management, regular winter exercise supports both mental and physical health and builds resilience through the colder months.
