Dr. Janna shares how to navigate darker, colder months that often have a negative impact on our mental and physical well-being. Together we explore the symptoms and causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and we unpack light, colour, and nature's powerful role in lifting our mood and supporting our overall health during winter.


Dr. Janna shares her unique approach to well-being, a blending of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern medicine. We talk about the importance of balance—how to navigate lower-energy seasons with grace, and why slowing down and creating space for self-reflection can be the very thing our bodies and minds need.


We touch on the magic of Ayurvedic nutrition, and which spices and foods have healing properties and how mindful choices in what we eat can profoundly influence our mood, energy, and happiness.


If the winter months have you feeling a little low, this conversation is a warm and nourishing invitation to embrace the season, build rituals that support your well-being, and tap into the small, intentional changes that can help you feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to your joy.


In this episode, we explore:

  • What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and how does it impact us?
  • What role can colour play in our well-being during winter.
  • Highlights of Ayurvedic philosophy
  • Does colour matter on your plate?
  • What activities should we be pursuing in winter?
  • How should we navigate low-energy phases?
  • What sort of rituals can help us fell good this winter?


This episode reminds us that the quieter, slower months can be a gift—a chance to nourish yourself, reconnect with your body, and create more ease and joy in the season ahead.


Let’s keep the conversation going. Please share your thoughts, rituals, or winter wins with me on Instagram at @JoyFirstWorld. I’d love to hear how you’re finding light and colour this season!
