Complimentary Vitamin D supplement with November Bookings


☁️SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) according to the NHS is a type of seasonal depression


It’s mostly known for hitting us in the gloomy months of winter and can especially kick in when the clocks turn back.


Symptoms include:

👉Low mood

👉 Low motivation

👉 Lethargy

👉 Carbohydrate cravings

👉 Weight gain


To mitigate the lack of daylight & sunshine, getting out during daylight and spending time walking & exercising in nature is top of the list.


In fact, the Nordics have the name ‘friluftsliv’ for this, meaning open air living.


From a nutritional perspective 👉


Topping up your vitamin D levels is a priority, as it’s essential for regulating serotonin production, the neurotransmitter critical for our mood.


The NHS recommend a meagre 10mcg daily of vitamin D, but this won’t touch the sides for most people & getting vitamin D from foods alone e.g. oily fish, mushrooms & eggs is tricky.   


So look to get your levels of this sunshine vitamin tested and establish your baseline.


Then consult with a nutritional therapist to get the dose you actually need, not the minimum amount to prevent a deficiency.


On top of this, add an array of fresh foods to your trolley,including colourful fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, lentils and pulses,  chicken and fish where appropriate.


If you book a consultation in November, you’ll receive a free vitamin D spray to help you fight the winter blues.  See the link in the bio.
