In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki dives into practical, evidence-based strategies to support your mood and energy during the darker months. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more common than you think—and it's not just about feeling a little “meh.” With shorter days and less sunlight disrupting our serotonin and melatonin balance, Mikki explains why we crave carbs, struggle with low mood, and experience poor sleep. She unpacks the nutritional tools that can make a real difference, from key supplements like creatine and vitamin D, to protein and gut health support. Whether you experience SAD or just feel off in winter, this episode is packed with doable, science-backed tips to help lift your mood and energy.

Topics Covered:

• The brain chemistry behind SAD and winter carb cravings
• How creatine, omega-3s, and vitamin D support mental health
• Why protein and B vitamins matter for serotonin production
• The gut-brain connection and its role in mood
• Carb timing and antioxidant foods to improve winter wellbeing
