Why do your healthy habits feel so easy in the summer… and so impossible by October?
In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I’m unpacking a surprisingly overlooked reason your motivation disappears when the seasons change—and what to do instead of blaming yourself.
You’ll hear how weather, light, mood, and routine can quietly hijack your habits unless you plan for them, and how understanding your own seasonal patterns can help you feel more consistent, confident, and in control—all year long.
Whether you’re eating lighter and walking more right now, or already dreading the colder months ahead, this episode will help you spot the patterns before they sabotage your progress.
