This episode is featured in USA News. Winter doesn’t have to feel heavy or gray. We explore a practical, science-backed way to beat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by embracing outdoor time, adopting a winter-positive mindset and choosing activities that are fun, affordable, and easy to start. From daylight walks to moonlit hikes, we map out how fresh air, movement, and a little grit can lift mood, sharpen focus, create a healthy lifestyle, and make cold days feel like an opportunity instead of a burden.
In this solo episode, I break down what SAD looks like, why it hits so hard, and which lifestyle levers move the needle the most. We talk through approachable winter options—daily walks, cross-country skiing, and an eye-opening primer on skijoring, the hybrid sport that pairs skiing with a dog who loves to run and pull.
