November brings shorter days and longer nights: a natural invitation to slow down, rest, and recalibrate. As the seasons change, so does our physiology. With reduced daylight, melatonin extends, cortisol rises later in the morning, and body temperature drops earlier at night. These are gentle biological cues asking us to align more closely with rest and recovery.

Fall is here — crisp mornings, golden leaves, cozy sweaters — at least up here in the mountains where I live. But along with the beauty of the season often come colds, flu, and other immune challenges. The shift from long summer days to cooler, shorter ones makes this the perfect time to nourish your immune system with foods that are seasonal, warming, and packed with protective nutrients.
