Are you SAD? As in, do you suffer from Seasonal Affect Disorder? What are the symptoms and what are the solutions? Getting down in the winter time when there’s less sunshine and more inclination to sleep in and eat carbs during the day needn’t be a way of life for you during this challenging time.

Dr. Jockers is here with some handy charts and information on ways to combat Seasonal Affect Disorder as we adjust and improve our lifestyle through smart, practical choices that allow us to sleep, eat, and move better over the winter time. 

It’s not rocket science — and it needn’t be therapy or prescription medication that you turn to if you are feeling SAD at this time. Please try out some of the techniques mentioned — from laughing and expressing gratitude to Omega 3 supplements and red light therapy — and stick on the winning path of self-improvement this winter!

If the sun is out, try to get at least 10 to 15 minutes of good quality sun exposure.
