Welcome to October!
While the leaves change colours, some of the more sensitive among us may feel a shift in energy too – a touch of lethargy, maybe a dip in mood...
Don’t worry, these seasonal blues are common, and you can absolutely feel your best this season. October is an excellent time to introduce some self-care padding to our lives, ready for the harshest winter months.
Let the light in: As daylight dwindles, embrace natural sources of Vitamin D! Take invigorating autumn walks to soak up morning sunshine, a natural mood booster. If shorter days leave you lacking, consider a SAD lamp to simulate sunlight and combat seasonal blues.
Move your body: Sitting all day can drain your energy. If you have a desk job, advocate for a sit-stand desk (like the one you might have seen in my clinic reception!). Even small desk breaks can work wonders. Check out this video by Asics which injects some humour into the importance of leaving your desk.

Social connections matter: The urge to hibernate is understandable, but staying connected can build resilience and boost mood. Don’t neglect your social circle – plan coffee dates, join a club, or simply call a friend to hear what’s new.
Boost your energy from within: Your body needs the right nutrients to thrive. Consider Vitamin B12 injections to support energy levels and combat fatigue.
Pick up on perks: If your employer has a workplace wellbeing scheme, check whether it covers our services. Many health insurance policies will cover Podiatry, Massage, Osteopathy and more – so make sure you’re not missing out!
