The Snow Moon, also known as the February Full Moon, is closely tied to winter burnout, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and nervous system regulation. Many people feel exhausted, unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally flat this time of year—and it’s not a personal failure, it’s biology.This episode also aligns with a major Chinese Zodiac transition, as February 1 marked the final day of the Year of the Snake and the beginning of the Year of the Horse. The Snake represents shedding and healing, while the Horse represents movement and momentum—reminding us that we can’t run until we shed.In this Sunday Night Live, we explore how to work with winter and seasonal circadian rhythms instead of fighting them.In this episode, we cover:The meaning of the Snow Moon and why February is associated with rest and conservationWinter burnout vs. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)How seasonal circadian rhythms affect mood, energy, sleep, and motivationWhy animals hibernate—and what humans can learn from biological downshiftingRealistic ways to support your nervous system in winter using what you already haveHow to nourish your body without relying on processed comfort foodsWhy rest before momentum is essential for resilience and healingIf you’ve been feeling more tired, foggy, unmotivated, or overwhelmed during winter, this conversation is for you.Sometimes the most productive thing you can do…is slow down.📝Join my newsletter for up to date health tips: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/gQMdLE5/drpaulashealthtipsFor high quality supplements:https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/pruffinSTAY CONNECTED!Free resources:https://drruffin.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpaularuffin/https://www.facebook.com/drpaularuffin/ https://www.facebook.com/NewHudsonChiropracticAndWellnessCenterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaularuffinDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for entertainment and informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.
