5 Spring Health Tips

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

If you’ve come to see me in clinic recently, there’s a good chance we’ve talked about ways to support your body, mind, and spirit as we transition from winter to spring.

Just as the weather can be fickle this time of year, sometimes it takes people a little time to acclimate.

If you have too much cold still stuck in your system from winter, or you don’t have enough energy to push past the obstructions that will inevitably stand in your way in spring, you’ll feel the impact on both your mental and physical health.

Luckily, small seasonal shifts to your diet and lifestyle can make a big impact.

Here are some signs that your system needs more support in spring:

  • Feelings of stuck-ness
  • Lack of motivation
  • Increased frustration
  • Excessive fatigue, lethargy, exhaustion
  • Foggy-brain feeling
  • Pressure headaches
  • Loss of appetite
  • Gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, or irregular bowel movements
  • Sinus or chest congestion
  • Seasonal allergies

If you notice any of these symptoms cropping up in spring, your body is sending you a message that you need to make some seasonal adjustments. Here are some ideas.

I can't wait to see where this takes you!

Warmly,

Katerina

Hey Reader, A lot of people come to me with symptoms that conventional medical doctors have no good answers for. Chronic sinusitis? Throw a decongestant and some Advil at it. Migraines? Let's put you on birth control, caffeine pills, and prescription pain medications to see if anything changes. Anxiety and insomnia? No problem. There are drugs to numb those feelings and knock you out. Of course I'm being facetious. Pharmaceuticals can be life-saving, and you will often hear me singing modern...

Hey Reader, I am not one to brag about exhaustion. I don’t wear busyness as a badge of honor (as so many are wont do in our society). If you ever hear me lament that I’ve had too much to do and too little rest, it’s because some deeper part of my psyche hopes that the act of voicing my overwhelm will somehow relieve it. This was often the case over the past month. With 2 small children, my life is already full to the brim with activity under even the most mundane circumstances. Add in a...

Hey Reader, A few years ago I noticed this idea circulating on social media: that nobody can make you feel any particular way. Hand-in-hand with this belief, some self-help gurus also like to tell us that we're entirely responsible for our emotions. But try to apply this belief to your own life and you'll quickly start feeling confused, frustrated, and like a failure. Because the truth isn't quite so simple. No matter how hard you try, no matter how many gratitude lists you write and how many...
