ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Roadmap - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/winter-roadmap
Winter is not just dark - it changes your metabolism, your mood, and even your weight. Sarah Kleiner breaks down a brand-new study showing why bright days and dark nights may be one of the most important levers for staying healthy when the clocks change.
If you live anywhere that gets gloomy, cold, or abruptly darker after work, this episode gives you a practical game plan before November 1st hits in the U.S. and the time shift hits Europe even sooner.
