As winter settles in, many women start asking the same questions.
How do I avoid catching every cold going around? Why do I crave comfort food? Will I gain weight if I move less? And how can I stay healthy without feeling deprived?
In this episode, Chinese medicine practitioner Tania Grasseschi returns to the podcast to explain how working with winter, rather than against it, can help you feel healthier, warmer and more energised.
Together we explore how traditional Chinese medicine views winter as a season of restoration and why slowing down, eating warming foods and supporting your body's natural rhythms may help you feel your best.
