The October Reset: Mood, Light & Sleep in Sync
Take a moment to look outside at your garden this month. Plants are slowing down, not dying, but conserving energy. Leaves fall, perennials retreat into their roots, and the soil begins to rest. It’s a time of recalibration, not weakness.
Your body often mirrors these shifts.
October can bring changes in energy, appetite, sleep, and even emotional tone. If you’re noticing more cravings, increased fatigue, or a tendency to withdraw socially, there may be a biological reason, not just a psychological one.
During this time of year, our internal systems can begin falling out of sync with the natural rhythms that once guided us, especially when modern life keeps us running on screens, artificial lighting, and overextended schedules.
Fortunately, making gentle shifts in light exposure, nourishment, and daily routines may help restore balance as we move deeper into the season.
Recalibrating with the Season: A Gentle Reset
Fall doesn’t require an overhaul. Small, intentional changes, grounded in circadian biology and ancestral patterns, can support your nervous system, mood, and rest.
1. Step Into the Morning Light
Our internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, is largely regulated by light. Morning exposure to natural light plays a vital role in:
Suppressing melatonin (to help you feel more alert)
Supporting serotonin production (which helps regulate mood)
Stabilizing cortisol levels (which influence energy and stress)
What to try:
If possible, spend a few minutes outdoors within 30–60 minutes of waking. Even overcast skies provide the full-spectrum light your body uses to regulate itself. This one shift may positively influence your energy, mood, and sleep quality.
2. Try a “Digital Sunset” in the Evenings
Before electric lighting, the absence of daylight served as a signal to your body to wind down. Today, exposure to screens and artificial lights well into the evening can delay melatonin production and interfere with rest.
What to try:
Start by dimming lights after sunset. Power down screens 30–60 minutes before bed if you’re able, and consider replacing them with calming rituals, light stretching, reading, journaling, or simply quiet time. These cues can help your body prepare for rest without forcing it.
“Working with Modern Holistic Health has truly been life-changing for me. The repatterning work in particular helped me release an ancestral weight that had been on my shoulders for far too long—and I finally feel free. Every practitioner I worked with brought something valuable to the process, and I’ve learned so much through this journey.” – Melanie K., June 2025 [See more]
A Fall Reset for Mood, Energy & Rest
By Greg Platz, Chief Executive Officer, Modern Holistic Health
When fall arrives, the world around us transforms. The air turns crisp, evenings arrive earlier, and the trees begin their slow, colorful change. Just as the season shifts, our bodies often ask for subtle changes too—a little more light, a little more nourishment, and a gentler path to rest.
Think of it as a seasonal reset: not a massive overhaul, but small rituals that keep your mind, body, and energy steady through shorter days and longer nights. Here are three ways to realign yourself with the rhythm of fall.
Morning Ritual: Step Into the Light
One of the most powerful ways to support your mood and energy is to begin the day with natural light.
Within 30–60 minutes of waking, step outside if possible.
Spend 5–10 minutes in the sunlight, walking, stretching, or simply breathing deeply.
Try a calming breath pattern: inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6 seconds.
Tip: Morning light helps reset your body’s circadian rhythm, boosts serotonin for mood, and stabilizes energy for the day ahead. Even on cloudy days, natural light is more effective than any lamp.
Midday Nourishment: The Mood-Balancing Autumn Bowl
As daylight shortens, it’s common to crave more carbs. Instead of resisting, choose foods that support serotonin and energy while keeping blood sugar steady.
Recipe (serves 2. Use organic and/or grass-fed when possible.)
1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
6 oz grilled wild-caught salmon (or turkey/chicken)
1 cup roasted Brussels sprouts
½ cup roasted sweet potato cubes
A handful of spinach or kale
Dressing: lemon juice + tahini + garlic + pinch of sea salt
Tip: Pairing protein with complex carbs not only nourishes neurotransmitters like serotonin, but also keeps energy and mood more stable throughout the afternoon and evening.
“I came across Dr. V in the great program ‘Depression, Anxiety & Dementia’. Of all 55 homeopaths and MDs, she was my favorite. Her approach made the most sense to me and I am excited to get going on her protocol. – Robert O., June 2025 [See more]
