Did you know that the brain burns more nutrients during stress?
That means the holiday rush can quietly drain your reserves.
🌿 Focus on foods that soothe your nervous system:
- Whole grains for slow-release energy
- Avocado, nuts & seeds for calming healthy fats
- Magnesium-rich greens for muscle and mind relaxation
- A calm cup of herbal tea to mark the end of the day (think peppermint, chamomile or rooibos)
Breathe, eat slowly, and enjoy the moment, your nervous system will thank you.

During silly season stress can often arise more frequently. Remember to take time to recalibrate your nervous system.
Here are some ideas.

2. Nature walks
3. Plenty of nutrient dense foods
4. Extended long hug with a loved one
5. Sauna or bath with epsom salts

The holiday season is full of connection and joy, but also extra noise, sugar, and stress.
Your body doesn’t need restriction, it needs steady care.
✨ Keep meals balanced: include protein and colourful vegetables at each plate.
💧 Stay hydrated, thirst can disguise itself as fatigue or cravings.
😴 Protect sleep by setting gentle limits on late nights.
A nourished body keeps your mind calm and your mood even, the best gift you can give yourself.

🧠 Small daily habits rebuild clarity far more effectively than quick fixes.
💬 What’s one routine that helps you clear the fog?

When mood dips in midlife, it’s often your nervous system asking for steadier fuel, not a quick fix.
Try this gentle reset:
🥑 Eat protein with every meal — it keeps blood sugar (and mood) stable.
🥦 Add colourful plants daily — antioxidants reduce inflammation linked to low mood.
💧 Stay hydrated — even mild dehydration can heighten anxiety.
😴 Prioritise rest — the brain recovers while you're sleep. It’s not about perfection, making small manageable adjustments to diet and lifestyle can go long way.
Which of these do you already use and notice a difference with? What small habit lifts your mood most?

As oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate, our neurotransmitter serotonin and stress hormone cortisol can ride the wave too. That’s why calm can feel elusive one week and effortless the next.
Small things help: a walk at dusk, eat magnesium-rich green leafy veg, early nights, honest conversations.
💬 What’s one thing that steadies your mood when life feels loud? If you're not sure then getting a plan to support you body, mind, and spirit could be just what you need to enter the busy end of the year with grace and composure.
