It’s deep into January, and whether or not Blue Monday is real (we’ll get into that), this time of year can feel extra heavy. Between the cold, the post-holiday slump, and the general what-am-I-doing-with-my-life fog, a lot of us are struggling with motivation, focus, and energy right now.
So today, we’re opening up the inbox and tackling your questions—some I touched on during my morning show this week, and others I’m diving deeper into here. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a few more tools to help you feel good right now.
We’re Covering:
- Is Blue Monday real?
- How to tell if your fatigue is from Seasonal Affective Disorder or something else
- The best way to supplement B vitamins for energy (without throwing your body off balance)
- Is matcha better than coffee? (Let’s talk caffeine, L-theanine, and energy crashes.)
- The Navy SEAL Power Nap technique—does it work?
- The most underrated cause of low energy that no one talks about
- Today’s feelgood thing
If the winter slump has you feeling stuck, sluggish, or just meh, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it.
