Let’s talk about why you NEED to be getting those all important 💤’s during the holidays!

As the holiday season approaches, it becomes even more important to prioritize sleep due to its significant impact on various aspects of our physical and mental health:

✅ Immune System Function
During sleep, the body undergoes numerous processes that help it maintain immune balance. Adequate sleep allows the immune system to function optimally, increasing the body`s ability to fight off infections.

▪️ With the holiday season often involving gatherings and travel, maintaining a robust immune system becomes particularly important to avoid falling ill during the festivities!

✅ Mood and Emotional Resilience
Sleep deprivation can lead to irritability, mood swings, and a lower threshold for stress. During the holiday season, maintaining a positive outlook and emotional resilience is important for enjoying the festivities and maintaining healthy relationships.

✅ Stress Regulation
As we all know, the holiday season can bring about increased stress 😩. During deep sleep stages, the body`s stress response system is regulated, and stress hormones like cortisol are reduced.

▪️ A lack of sleep can disrupt this balance, making individuals more susceptible to stress and its negative cascade of effects.

✅ Cognitive Function and Productivity
The holiday season often involves increased demands on our cognitive abilities, from planning and organizing events to shopping for gifts and participating in various activities. Sleep is essential for cognitive function, memory consolidation, and decision-making.

✅ Cravings and Appetite Control
When sleep-deprived, the body`s production of appetite-regulating hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin, can become disrupted. This can lead to increased cravings for high-calorie, sugary, and fatty foods.

▪️ Overindulging in unhealthy holiday treats can have negative consequences for your health. Prioritizing sleep can help maintain a more balanced approach to nutrition during this time of year.

Drop a 👍 in the comments if you’ll be making more of an effort to maintain quality sleep this year!

Hello December!! ❄️⁠
⁠
I`m not gonna lie, I had to triple check the date on this post. Can you believe we are already in our final chapter of 2023!? ⁠
⁠
We hear a lot about finishing the year strong. And while there is a place and time for that, we would also encourage you to finish the year with joy, peace and happiness. That might look like turning down some things that you feel like you "should" do or protecting your peace and time with loved ones. And that`s okay! This time of year is so busy and full of pressure to spend and be on the go. Do what is best for you this December. Finish the year with joy! ⁠
⁠
What are you looking forward to this December? 💚 ...

Dr. Tracy is an incredible listener and diagnostician. I have seen so many doctors, Naturopaths, and Nutritionists regarding issues with my digestion and no one had figured out what the issue was but Dr. Tracy did. She is thorough, experienced, caring and a first-rate Dr. Her staff are wonderful and efficient as well. I have recommended over five people to Dr Tracy already!
