“Root yourself in the season, nourish your body, and move with purpose.”

As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, autumn invites us to slow down, restore balance, and prepare our bodies and minds for the cooler months ahead. This is the season to embrace grounding routines, immune-boosting foods, and movement that builds endurance for the months to come.

Eat the Season

Fall’s harvest is rich, earthy, and deeply satisfying. Squash, pumpkins, apples, mushrooms, and late greens bring color to the plate while nourishing the body with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These ingredients not only comfort but also support immune health as we transition into winter.

Try:

• Roasted pumpkin soup with spiced skyr drizzle

• Mushroom & thyme Swedish crêpes

• Sheet pan salmon with apple & root vegetables

• Apple-cardamom overnight oats

Move for Balance & Endurance

Fall is about building and sustaining strength while keeping your body limber. Opt for exercises that challenge your muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and connect you to nature.

Seasonal Movement Ideas:

• Rowing: Build endurance while staying low-impact on the joints—great for colder-weather training.

• Bodyweight Circuits: Push-ups, squats, and planks keep strength training approachable and equipment-free.

• Autumn Walks: Layer up and explore the seasonal colors, aiming for a brisk pace to keep your heart rate in the “feel-good” zone.

Wellness Prep for the Holidays

Fall is the perfect time to reset habits before the holiday rush. Create a foundation for mindful eating, balanced indulgence, and intentional movement so you enter the festive season energized rather than depleted.

Your Fall Wellness Checklist:

• Plan autumn harvest menus in advance

• Prep sheet pan dinners for quick weeknight meals

• Stock your pantry with immune-boosting teas and spices

• Carve out 10–15 minutes daily for stretching or breathwork
