Listen Later

Feeling the winter blues creeping in? In this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie dives into the truth about seasonal depression—what really causes it and why it’s not just about the lack of sunlight. If you’re tired of feeling sluggish, unmotivated, or just ‘off’ during the colder months, this episode is for you.

Too often, seasonal depression is chalked up to missing the sun, but Lizzie reveals that deeper factors—like nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle habits—are at play. The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck. With the right adjustments, you can boost your mood, energy, and overall well-being—no matter the season.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

✅ More Than Just Sunlight—The Real Causes of Seasonal Depression. Many people think it’s just about missing the sun, but factors like low vitamin D, magnesium deficiency, poor nutrition, and lack of movement contribute far more than we realize.

✅ How to Fuel Your Body for a Better Mood. One of Lizzie’s clients eliminated seasonal depression entirely—just by changing her nutrition and giving her body what it needed. Learn the key shifts that made the difference.

✅ The Connection Between Gut Health & Mental Health. Your gut and brain are directly linked. If you’re not digesting and absorbing nutrients properly, your mood can take a serious hit. Lizzie explains why blood work is essential for getting to the root of the issue.

✅ Are You Stuck in a Life That’s Draining You? Sometimes, seasonal depression isn’t just about the season—it’s about being in a job, relationship, or situation that drains you. Lizzie challenges you to rethink your purpose and align with what truly lights you up.

✅ Simple Yet Powerful Lifestyle Hacks to Improve Your Mood. From walking outside (yes, even in the cold!) to prioritizing quality sleep and exercise, Lizzie shares easy, actionable ways to reset your body and mind.

✅ The Best Supplements for Seasonal Depression. Magnesium, vitamin D, and other key nutrients can make a huge difference—but only if your body actually needs them. Lizzie explains how to test, not guess, before adding supplements.
