Episode Summary:

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that begins in the fall season and continues into the winter months. SAD has been known to affect men differently than women. Dr. Benson offers a variety of natural solutions.  For example, there are ways to get exposure to natural full spectrum light on those darker seasons and when there is less natural light.  She discusses many pathways offered in her ART Lab, along with a universal clean diet and supplements, that have been effective tools for good health to help people balance their hormones in the brain and stabilize their moods during the winter months.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the median age for the onset of SAD has been reported to be 27 and 15% of the American population has SAD which is most common among women who live in states that are exposed to less light.  SAD’s characteristics that are similar to depression include: loss of appetite, fatigue, trouble sleeping and feelings of hopelessness.
