7 Ways to Support yourself in Autumn for Wellbeing

by Julia K | Sep 30, 2023 | Healthy Living & Longevity

How have you been since we have entered the new season? Have you been noticing that your energy level dropped. Have you found yourself to be more on the edge? A little bit more irritated, tired or even overwhelmed? Whether we like it or not, the less sunlight can...

My porridge this morning tasted even better… with My porridge this morning tasted even better… with extra cacao powder from @bristolfungarium and, this afternoon a better concentration with a few drops of lion’s mane tincture. 🍄

Mushrooms such as reishi, shiitake, maitake, and lion’s mane have been valued for centuries, especially in China and other parts of Asia, and are now receiving growing attention in the UK, Europe, and the US too. In particular, lion’s mane is often associated with supporting focus, memory, concentration, and nerve health, and is widely spoken about for its connection to Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and support for brain function.

I have always believed that natural tools and a holistic approach can support us far more deeply and beautifully than society often gives them credit for. 

This feels especially important when we speak about brain health in perimenopause and menopause - a time when so many women can experience changes in memory, focus, mood, sleep, and overall cognitive clarity as hormones shift. This is an area that deserves so much more awareness, education, and support, and I believe women need to feel more empowered in how they care for their brain, nervous system, and overall wellbeing through these transitions.

Thank you Tom @bristolfungarium for the conversation, the knowledge, and the passion behind what you do. It was such a pleasure meeting you.😊🍄

Arrived at the @ipmcongress Conference to be a par Arrived at the @ipmcongress Conference to be a part of this growing movement of doctors, practitioners who not only want to see but implement holistic, therapeutic approach to person health and wellbeing. 

It’s my 3rd year here and can’t wait to see who else joined this movement from medical field and others who believe this approach to whole-persons health ( the root cause ) is the key!

Writing by hand is generally slower, which forces Writing by hand is generally slower, which forces you to process information more deeply. Studies have found that people often remember material better when they handwrite notes instead of typing them. ✍️

Handwriting: 

✨improves your focus 
✨ strengthen memory 
✨ enhance creativity 
✨ better motor skills 
✨ stronger comprehension
✨ deeper learning 
✨ activates more areas of the brain 🧠 
✨ slows you down a little 
✨ feels more personal and can promote deeper emotional processing 
✨ exercises coordination 
✨ supports overall cognitive function 

GIVE yourself BRAIN workout! 🧠✍️😀

Who hand writes most days ?? Takes notes or journaling? 💙

The Missing Piece of Brain Health: Rest, Recovery The Missing Piece of Brain Health: 
Rest, Recovery & Nervous System Calm ☺️

When we think about protecting brain health, we often focus on what we should add!

More supplements.
More exercise.
More brain games.
More information.

Yet one of the most overlooked contributors to cognitive health is not what we add—but what we allow.

Rest. 

Not doing more. Resting more. 

Many women spend years operating in a state of chronic stress. Between careers, caregiving, family responsibilities; the invisible mental load of daily life, the nervous system rarely gets the opportunity to fully recover.

Over time, this constant state of “doing” can affect far more than energy levels. influence memory, concentration, mood, sleep quality, emotional resilience, and overall brain function. 

The truth is that your brain does not heal, adapt, or thrive when it is constantly in survival mode. And, it gets worse during hormonal changes… 

This is where nervous system regulation becomes essential.

Gentle restorative movement, breathwork, mindfulness, quality sleep, nourishing foods, time in nature, meaningful connection, and moments of stillness all send an important message to the body:

“You are safe.”

When the nervous system feels safe, the brain can redirect energy toward healing, learning, memory, creativity, and emotional balance.

Rest is not laziness.
Recovery is not weakness.

They are biological requirements for a healthy brain.

Perhaps the missing piece of brain health is not another thing to do.

Perhaps it is creating more space to pause, gentle breathe & simply be. 

This is something I’ll be sharing more deeply in the coming weeks but also, on my upcoming NeuroWellness Women Day Retreat in September at Tofte Manor, Bedfordshire and 4-night Immersive November Retreat in Slovakia. Get in touch if you like to know more about my retreats. ☺️🙏
