Winter Is Coming: Here's How To Cope With Low Energy & Mood As Days Shorten

Every week on The Saturday Social for the month of November, Dr Illona Duffy will be answering your questions.

Is there any way to combat this feeling? I would love to be more energized and positive during the winter months!

Here is GP Dr Ilona's advice:
