SAD, a.k.a Seasonal Depression affects about 3% of the general population. Here are some tips;

1 Top-up on Sunshine - Get outdoors - even on dark, cloudy days. Expose yourself to as much sunlight as feasible to ensure your body can regulate feel-good hormones like Serotonin. Replenish with Vitamin D supplements if you're deficient!

2 Move that Body - Movement boosts endorphins. Simple exercises like walking are proven ways to improve your mood.

3 Sleep Right - Sufficient, good quality sleep is essential for mental health. Adequate magnesium intake promotes better sleep.

4 Light Therapy - The right light within the first hour of waking up each day helps regulate mood and circadian rhythm. Discuss with your Functional healthcare practitioner to understand whether you need a lightbox for S.A.D.
