🍂 Fall, Sleep & Seasonal Balance 🍁
As the days shorten and the air cools, our bodies crave rest and restoration — a rhythm TCM has honored for centuries.
In TCM, Fall connects to the Lungs + Large Intestine, the organs of release and reflection. Just as trees shed their leaves, we’re invited to let go — physically and emotionally.
One of the best ways to do that? Sleep.
🕯️ Quality sleep repairs tissues, strengthens immunity, and balances cortisol + melatonin — your key hormones for calm and resilience.
From a Functional Medicine lens:
🌿 Dim lights and limit screens after sunset
🥦 Eat grounding, seasonal foods (roots, apples, pears)
💨 Support lungs with breathwork + time outdoors
🌙 Aim for 10PM–6AM sleep for optimal repair
At A New Day Integrative Health & Wellness, we help you realign with your body’s natural rhythm — blending TCM wisdom and Functional Medicine for true balance this Fall.
✨ Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s your body’s nightly medicine.
