Want to actively improve your mood? This week's episode is for you! As the days get darker and the nights get colder, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about research based ways in which we can increase our happiness.

Things we discuss:

• Seasonal Affective Depression (SAD)
• Daily habits to keep us feeling positive
• Weekly / monthly habits
• Our favourite ways to increase our own happiness

Shoutout to this weeks sponsor Remedy Drinks who create tasty, refreshing, and natural soft drinks (mainly Kombucha’s) that are healthier alternatives to sugar-laden or artificially sweetened fizzy drinks. Remedy kombucha is a healthy and tasty fizzy drink, made by naturally fermenting sweet tea with a live culture. It contains no sugar, for real! Although sugar is an essential ingredient for fermentation, at Remedy our 30 day long-aged, small batch brew process brews it all out leaving no sugar, naturally. Each 250ml can contains just 7 calories but 250 million live cultures! Remedy is unpasteurised, live, raw and jam-packed with live cultures, tea polyphenols and organic acids, which can support and promote good gut health. Live cultures increase the diversity of gut flora, aka the microorganisms (or bugs) that live in your gut. We're obsessed!!
