Ever notice how your body feels less forgiving in the winter?
“That pattern is real,” says Dr. Stringer.
Winter changes how we live day to day. Less daylight. More stress. Different routines.
Your nervous system has to work harder to adapt, and when adaptability drops, symptoms rise.
This is why flare-ups often feel sudden but are rarely random.
Nothing new happened.
Your system just has less margin.
People often think their body is regressing.
In reality, it is responding to seasonal load.
Understanding this shifts the focus from chasing symptoms to recognizing patterns.
And patterns are where real, long-term stability starts.
