8 Ways To Lift Your Mood In The Middle Of Winter

I’m no stranger to the winter blues… otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD.) This temporary blah feeling that accompanies the winter months is thought to be triggered by shortened hours of daylight, which causes an imbalance in melatonin rhythms and decreased serotonin levels in the brain.   SAD is thought to have a genetic component as well, and sure enough, almost every woman I know in my family has a touch of the winter blues.

The Healing Process of Grief

Grief after experiencing a sudden loss can knock your feet right out from under you. Whether from the death of a loved one, a trauma, a job loss or divorce, severe illness, surgery, or any other unexpected change, it can be hard to endure… …both emotionally and physically exhausting.   In my healing work as a physician, I’ve found that real life experiences of trauma and grief don’t look like what I learned grief is “supposed” to look like from my training in medical school.

  We all know someone’s who’s hair has literally seemed to turn grey overnight from stress… …it’s a very real thing.   I know during the time when, years ago, my kids and I were unexpectedly abandoned by my then-husband who disappeared one night (and the stressful subsequent divorce that ensued) I got my fair share of grays that seemed to pop up daily and have remained in place right now, even 5+ years later.

A Super Interesting Difference Between Men and Women

  A very interesting study looked at how our heart responds to mental stress. Turns out, there is a very key difference between the way a woman’s heart responds to stress and the way a man’s heart responds.   Mental stress is well known to trigger cardiac changes (as I go into more detail on below…) but so far, no study had looked out a difference between the sexes.
