Winter Strategies for Better Blood Sugar

Winter is the season of darkness.
Biologically, it’s a time for slowing down, going inward, repairing, and conserving energy. But our culture treats it like the season of sugar, alcohol, overconsumption, and blasting LED Christmas lights. We avoid darkness and rest by turning on bright lights, staying up late, eating like it’s summer, training hard before sunrise, and expect the same productivity as we did in July.

That mismatch is a huge reason why winter is when so many people start struggling with their blood sugar, even if they’re eating “healthy.” It’s when crashes, cravings, reactive hunger, poor sleep, mood swings, and weight gain often sneak in.

This masterclass will teach you how to support your blood sugar during winter by making smart seasonal adjustments to your light environment, meal timing, temperature exposure, and food choices so you can feel more stable, sleep better, have fewer cravings, and avoid the typical winter weight gain.

You don’t need to rely on willpower or start over in January. When you work with your circadian biology and align with the seasons, your blood sugar naturally improves and regulates! The good news is that your body does need you to work harder this winter to stay healthy. It's time to embrace the beauty of this season and reap the benefits!

Here's what you'll learn:

  • How shorter days and longer nights alter insulin sensitivity, cortisol rhythms, and blood sugar stability 
  • Why morning light matters more in winter and how to get it even when it's cold and cloudy 
  • Strategies for grounding in the winter without freezing your toes off 
  • How cold exposure can help blood sugar and how to do it (plus those who may need to avoid it) 
  • Benefits of heat exposure for your blood sugar and mitochondria 
  • Best and worst times of day to use red light therapy panels and infrared saunas 
  • How to light your home in the winter to support more melatonin production, decrease cortisol, and support better blood sugar 
  • Best times to eat your meals in the winter 
  • Strategies for seasonal eating to help increase autophagy, improve metabolic health and blood sugar
  • Signs that your winter routine is stabilizing your blood sugar versus stressing it further 
  • Strategies for people with high blood sugar, vs those who have lower blood sugar or crashes (and everyone in between)
  • How to address lack of Vitamin D in the winter

Also, there will be a Q&A at the end, so feel free to ask any questions you might have.
