If you’re dragging more than usual in late August or early September, you’re not alone. This end-of-summer fatigue can be both seasonal and hormonal.

Here’s why:

• Less sunlight = lower vitamin D and disrupted circadian rhythms.
• Heat exhaustion from summer's intensity can deplete minerals like magnesium and potassium.
• Transition stress—back to school, post-vacation hustle—spikes cortisol.
• If you're already dealing with thyroid imbalance or adrenal fatigue, this shift can hit even harder.

As a naturopathic doctor, I work to uncover your unique root causes—be it sluggish adrenals, blood sugar imbalances, or low DHEA/testosterone—and support your body with targeted botanical medicine, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle tweaks.
