We’ve crossed the fall equinox, but that doesn’t mean we’ve landed somewhere stable. Early fall is a transition—and our bodies are responding to changing conditions whether we’re consciously paying attention or not.
In this episode of Rewilded Wellness, I’m exploring what seasonal adaptation actually looks like in the body. We’ll look at how cooler temperatures can change fluid and electrolyte demands, why the kidneys are such a useful example of dynamic balance, and how shorter days and changing light influence circadian rhythms, sleep, appetite, and metabolism.
I also get practical about what this can look like in everyday life. How might your hydration and mineral needs in October differ from July? What happens when the days get shorter but most of your waking hours are spent under artificial light? And how can you start noticing whether the practices that supported you in one season still fit the conditions you’re living in now?
This isn’t about creating another fall wellness protocol. It’s about learning to tend the same foundations—light, sleep, hydration, minerals, movement—in a more responsive way.
Because balance isn’t a setting we reach. It’s something our bodies are continually negotiating.
I’ll also share what my garden is showing me about this transition, how season can add context to the way we interpret testing, and where we’re headed next as I return to The Terrain Map, my ongoing series exploring the deeper physiology underneath the patterns I see in my work.
If you’ve accumulated tests, supplements, and health information but still aren’t sure what matters for your body right now, I currently have four October openings for Minerals & Microbes.
