Tips to reset your health and wellness goals in late summer
Embrace the Shift of Seasons:
As summer begins to fade, there’s a natural pull to slow down and reflect. The vibrant pace of early summer gives way to the golden, quieter days of late August. This transition is the perfect opportunity to check in with yourself and recharge. Just like nature prepares for fall, your body and mind benefit from a reset.
Why Late Summer Is Ideal for Self Care:
Late summer often brings burnout from busy schedules, travel, heat, or disrupted routines. You might notice fatigue, bloating, mood shifts, or poor sleep. That’s your body’s way of saying it’s time to rest and realign.
Self-care during this time isn’t indulgent—it’s essential. It helps replenish energy, rebalance hormones, and restore mental clarity. Even small wellness habits can make a big difference in how you feel heading into fall.
Simple, Powerful Self Care Ideas:
-
Hydrate Differently: After a hot summer, your body still needs hydration. Add lemon, cucumber, or electrolytes to your water for extra support.
-
Late Summer Eating: Shift to lighter meals using seasonal foods like zucchini, berries, tomatoes, and herbs. Try roasted tomatoes for a delicious and healing side.
-
Declutter Your Mind: Spend 10 quiet minutes outside each morning—no phone, just nature. This simple pause improves mood and focus.
-
Support Your Hormones: Perimenopausal and menopausal women especially benefit from late summer support.
-
A hormone check-in: Testing your thyroid and reverse T3, cortisol, or estrogen/progesterone balance, can help personalize your care.
- An energy boost: Come in for a series of B12/Vitamin injections, experience better focus and energy
- Consider a 5 Day Reset: The 5 Day Prolon Fasting-Mimicking Diet will bet you reset, energized and feeling lighter
-
Reset Sleep and Movement: Go to bed earlier, walk at sunset, and unplug from digital noise. It helps regulate circadian rhythms and lowers stress.
Ready to Recenter?
If summer left you feeling a bit off track, you’re not alone.
Late summer self care is your chance to reset. From personalized hormone support to simple daily shifts, this season can become a beautiful bridge into fall wellness.
