Seasonal Affective Disorder When you hear seasonal affective disorder, you probably think of the cold, dark days of winter. But for some people, seasonal depression arrives at the opposite time of year. As temperatures rise and daylight stretches into the evening, sadness, anxiety and irritability can emerge. Wednesday on the “Sound of Ideas,” we'll discuss how heat, light and seasonal changes can affect our mental health. Guest:- Alicia Roth, Ph.D., Behavioral Sleep Medicine Psychologist, Cleveland Clinic Understanding claims about antidepressants Later, we'll speak with mental health experts about antidepressants. A recent Gallup poll found 18% of adults reported having depression last year. And depression rates for Americans under 30 and lower income adults have risen dramatically over the last eight years. Antidepressant medications have been shown to help ease depressive symptoms. One common type of medication, called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs, were used by more than 11% of adults in 2023, according to CDC data. And adults in the Midwest take antidepressants more than any other region in the nation. U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. has been outwardly skeptical about the use of SSRIs, and last month, announced a plan to address the "overuse of psychiatric medications, especially among children" in favor of what he calls a more holistic approach to mental health. But psychiatrists have warned that some of the claims about the side effects of antidepressants are misinformed, including that there's an increased link to mass violence. And there's concern that this move could limit access to treatment for millions who rely on it. Guests:- Jonathan Sadowsky, Ph.D., Professor, History of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University- Luis Felipe Amunategui, Ph.D., Child-Adolescent Psychologist, University Hospitals- Karin Coifman, Ph.D., Professor, Psychological Sciences, Kent State University
Send us Fan MailDid you know Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't limited to the winter months? Our good friend and resident mental health expert Jackie Adams returns this week to shed some light on why seasonal depression can sometimes rear its ugly head as the weather warms up.From longer days leading to less sleep, to the pressure of getting your "beach bod" ready (and the self-esteem trouble that comes from not having one), Jackie dives into all of the various factors that might lead to stress, anxiety and depression in the summer. But of course, those factors only tell part of the story - which is why we also discuss the impact of social media and the draining effect of the 24-hour news cycle on our mental health.If you'd like to get in contact with Jackie for therapy or advice, you can send her an email at JackieLAdams@gmail.com, or visit her website for more information.Find us on Instagram @convoswithboomerspod.If you like our show, make sure you follow us on your favourite Podcast player.

As the weather shifts and the days get shorter, many of us start to feel a familiar heaviness.

Let’s Chat About The Winter Homeschool Slump It’s the winter homeschool slump. The holidays are long gone, spring still feels impossibly far away, and you’ve repeated your weekly homeschool routine approximately 25 times since September. You’ve done an estimated 125 loads of laundry. And somewhere in the middle of all of it — you stopped factoring yourself in. In this episode, Teresa gets honest about what this season actually costs homeschool mamas — emotionally, physically, and practically. She talks about Seasonal Affective Disorder, the winter blues, the boredom few admit to, and the unrealistic expectations that make the slump hit harder than it needs to. She also brings in the voices of real homeschool mamas sharing what actually helps them get through February — from mud walks and maple sugaring to chocolate stores, kitchen cooking lessons, and Perler beads. And she introduces the free Homeschool Mama Mini-Retreat — a self-paced guided space to pause, breathe, and remember who you are beyond the role you play every day. Whether you’re listening before or after the episode — this one is for the mama who’s doing everything for everyone else and quietly wondering when someone is going to show up for her. What This Episode Is About: Key Takeaways • The winter homeschool slump is real — and it has a season. January through March is genuinely hard for many, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. • Seasonal Affective Disorder and winter blues are clinically real and common during the winter homeschool slump. Low light, low energy, and low motivation are not personal weaknesses. • Since September you’ve repeated your weekly routine 25 times and done approximately 125 loads of laundry. The math explains the depletion. • Most homeschool overwhelm isn’t about curriculum — it’s about expectations that were never realistic to begin with. • You almost never factored yourself into your original vision for homeschooling. That’s worth sitting with. • Charlotte Mason taught that atmosphere is one of the chief instruments of education. You are the atmosphere. Taking care of yourself is part of the lesson plan. • The retreat Teresa created was born in March 2020 — because even devoted, experienced homeschool mamas need somewhere to land. • You don’t need a 47-step self-care overhaul. You need one small, doable thing that actually fits your life. Questions to Sit With Teresa paused during this episode and asked these questions directly. If you haven’t answered them yet — here’s your space. What were your expectations when you first began homeschooling? What surprised you about the reality of it? Or what part of homeschool life makes you question yourself the most? When did you last ask yourself what you actually need? If nothing changes — what stays the same? From the Confident Homeschool Mom Community Real homeschool mamas shared what actually gets them through the winter homeschool slump. Teresa read these in the episode — here they are to keep. On getting outside and leaning into the season: “We try to get outdoors as much as possible, even when it means being covered head to toe in rainy, cold mud. This time of year is great for witnessing lamb births, ice skating, husky races, snow shoeing, maple sugaring. Good time to visit science museums and do more tangible things with our hands. And last but not least — chocolate. That’s what February is for.“ On letting the kitchen be the classroom: “Just stop. Play educational games. Get to planning, preparing, cooking, and serving a nutritional meal. Learn how to set a proper table. Every subject is addressed in the kitchen. Dramatic reading out loud — that can dissolve into laughter and build confidence at the same time.“ On mixing things up: Schedule indoor field trips as often as possible. Learn a new subject — we’re currently learning about Black women in history. Cuddle with a warm blanket and read books aloud. Take on a new project — coding tutorials, Perler beads. Bond: play board games, have a dance party, cook together. From Colleen — who is the one being homeschooled: I can definitely relate to February slump month — except I am on the other end of the spectrum. I am the one being homeschooled, and I would not change it for the world. What Mamas Are Saying About the Retreat “I told you at our first session that I was looking for hope — and the tools in this retreat gave me exactly that. I hope all of your retreats bear fruit into deflated women like me, changing their defeat into delight again.” — Cheri, Homeschool Mom of 4 “Teresa is the real deal. Her ability to hold space for difficult feelings makes her no-small-talk approach so effective. I trust her completely.” — Carrie, Homeschool Mom of 2 “Teresa is a gift. I am so blown away by the care she takes to really get to know who she’s talking with. It’s so rare these days.” — Brynn, Homeschool Mom of 3 Free Homeschool Mama Mini-Retreat If this episode stirred something in you — this is your next step.

Inspired by the approaching time change, we spring forward into two songs about winter sunlight and, specifically, Seasonal Affective Disorder. We expect a spooky twist from Lemon Demon's "SAD", but it mostly does what's written on the tin. There's also a literal story of SAD in Sunturns' "First Winter", but with layers of meaning and metaphor that give it the vibrancy of a sunrise. The ranking music in this episode is "Aurora Borealis" by Lemon Demon. Fun fact: we recorded this exactly one day before British Columbia announced that it's adopting permanent Daylight Savings Time, so we got to this theme just in time!!!
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how different wavelengths of light affect the human body and how light exposure can improve sleep quality, mood and daytime alertness while supporting healthy hormone regulation. I also discuss the therapeutic use of ultraviolet and infrared/red light for a wide variety of benefits, including improved skin health and offsetting age-related vision loss. I explain the biological mechanisms behind these light-based therapies and offer practical tools that listeners can use to improve both their mental and physical well-being.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes back Dr. Warren Lesser from Magna Pharmaceuticals to dive deep into the science behind the "winter blues" and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). They explore why many people experience a "bummer and dumber" effect during the darker months, as reduced sunlight affects not only our mood but also our processing speed, memory, and cognitive function. The conversation highlights the critical role of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, and how a deficiency in L-methylfolate (B9) and B12 can hinder the body's ability to produce these "feel-good" chemicals. Dr. Lesser explains why traditional antidepressants often fail if the body lacks the necessary nutritional substrates to make them work. They also discuss how the De Novo Plus B12 supplement provides the high-dose, bioavailable nutrients needed to cross the blood-brain barrier and support mental health, energy, and overall longevity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textWinter is long. And right now, we're in this unique in-between place: the light is slowly returning, but we still have weeks (or months) of cold, heavy weather ahead.If you're feeling the weight of winter, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not supposed to be producing at summer's pace right now.In this conversation, I sit down with Brett Aldrich—breathwork practitioner, Ayurveda counselor, and founder of Seed the Spirit—to talk about what's actually happening in our bodies during winter, why seasonal affective disorder is real (but also misunderstood), and how to work with the season instead of against it.Brett shares her own journey from social work burnout to discovering Ayurveda on a little note card in a shop—and how that small piece of wisdom changed everything. We explore the rhythm of winter, the pressure to keep producing when nature is asking us to rest, and why breathwork became the "missing puzzle piece" in her healing journey.This episode is for anyone who's struggling right now—whether that's with seasonal depression, exhaustion, or simply the cultural pressure to keep going when your body is asking you to slow down.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What's actually happening in your body during winter from an Ayurvedic perspective (and why it's natural to feel heavier, slower, more inward)Why late February/early March is uniquely challenging—we're moving from Vata (cold, mobile, erratic) into Kapha season (heavy, wet, earthy), and that transition can feel intenseThe truth about seasonal affective disorder—how to discern between the natural slowness winter asks for vs. when you need more supportWhy the pressure to keep producing is working against you—and what would happen if we actually honored our natural rhythmsHow breathwork works as medicine—the difference between controlled yogic breath and cyclical breathwork for releasing what you can't put words toBrett's journey from burnout to Ayurveda—stumbling into a practice that finally made sense, and how small shifts created big changeThe power of going with your natural flow—why honoring your constitution and the seasons is actually rebellious in our cultureSimple, doable practices for winter wellness—no expensive supplements or complicated protocols, just wisdom you can use todayWhen to reach out for professional help—and why there's no shame in thatKey Themes:This episode is about permission—permission to slow down, to honor winter's natural rhythm, to be gentler with yourself. Brett reminds us that we're not machines designed to produce at the same rate year-round. We're humans. We're part of nature. And nature has seasons.Connect with Brett:Website: Seed the Spirit Resources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

As winter drags on and the sun taps out at a disrespectful 4:30 p.m., Jordana asks Dr. Naomi to explain why everyone is sad, tired, and vaguely feral. After her fiancé's family vacation is derailed by her mother's nonstop questioning, a Betch spirals about what this dynamic could mean for her upcoming wedding. Dr. Naomi then offers an intention for a woman whose anxiety shows up as catastrophic thoughts about strangers who don't even know she exists. Another voicemail comes from a daughter still simmering after her father somehow forgot to mention her (and her brother) in his retirement speech, but made sure to shout out her deeply disliked stepmother. Finally, a husband sends a calendar invite to announce that his brother is “moving in,” and a Betch wants to know exactly how furious she's allowed to be. Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months? Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy?

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Why does winter affect our mood—and why are teens especially vulnerable? Amy talks with Dr. Greg Hammer, author of the book A MINDFUL TEEN, about the science behind the winter blues, teen mental health, and how simple mindfulness practices can help families feel better. Dr. Hammer explains how reduced sunlight, disrupted sleep, less physical activity, and holiday stress all contribute to seasonal mood changes—and why teens, who are already sleep-deprived and under pressure, can struggle even more during the winter months. The conversation explores the difference between everyday winter blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and when parents should consider professional support. Amy and Dr. Hammer also discuss the definition of "mindfulness" and the GAIN method—Dr. Hammer's practical, accessible framework built around Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment. Dr. Hammer shares how mindfulness can be practiced in as little as three minutes a day, why self-judgment fuels stress and burnout, and how parents can model emotional regulation without lecturing their teens.
