October means cooler weather, but before you start celebrating, it also means a higher risk of cold and flu. This month is the calm before the storm of holiday parties and travel, making it the perfect time of the season to assess what self-care you can add to your routine.
What Exactly is Self-Care?
Self-care is different for everyone. It's all about taking care of your body and mind to reduce stress and improve your overall sense of well-being. For some, it means committing to 8 hours of sleep every night, eating more protein and fiber or exercising 5 times a week.
For others, it could mean investing in vitamins or supplements to boost immunity, taking time for effective recovery or committing an hour or two every week to relax and recharge.
Whether you want to fortify your immune system, improve sleep, enhance skin health before holiday gatherings or accelerate your recovery from the gym, we have four science-backed therapies that can help.
