Ever notice that October hits and suddenly your energy dips, your sleep changes, and your body feels âoffâ?
Itâs not in your head. Thereâs actually a name for it â the October Slide
As daylight decreases and temperatures drop, your body has to work harder to stay balanced⌠regulating blood flow, temperature, hormones, and energy.
For those living with chronic illness, these shifts can feel a lot stronger. But truthfully? Anyone can feel the effects⌠just to a lesser degree.
Here are a few ways to support your body through the transition:
đŠľHydration & Circulation
â Stay hydrated and add electrolytes if needed
â Try gentle movement (walking, yoga, stretching) to support blood flow
đĽMeals & Nutrition
â Eat smaller, balanced meals through the day to stabilize blood sugar
â Focus on protein and fibre which will help to keep your energy steady
đŹď¸ Environment & Air Quality
â Consider using air filters and keep indoor humidity steady
â Maintain a consistent indoor temperature to reduce physical stress
âď¸ Light, Rest & Regulation
â Get morning sunlight exposure when possible
â Protect your sleep hygiene (consistent bedtime, reduced evening screen time)
đ¤ Energy & Recovery
â Schedule rest before burnout hits
â Embrace slower progress⌠your bodyâs not failing, itâs adapting
Remember, the goal isnât to push harder this season, itâs to support your body differently.
