Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Cellular Nutrition offers particularly effective solutions in this context, by supporting neurotransmitter balance, correcting fatigue, and rebalancing the microbiota.

To clarify these mechanisms, the assessment explores several physiological axes:

• Neuropsychic: impact of reduced light on serotonin, melatonin, cortisol, and dopamine, influencing mood, sleep, energy, and food cravings.
• Gut & Microbiota: hepatic overload and imbalances linked to richer winter diets (dysbiosis, hyperpermeability, bloating).
• Metabolic: slower energy metabolism and tendency towards weight gain.
• Immune: increased frequency of winter infections.
• Inflammatory: joint pain and stiffness aggravated by cold and pro-inflammatory diets.
• Skin: dryness and weakened skin barrier due to deficits in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants.
• Dietary & Lifestyle: excess sugar, saturated fats, alcohol, dairy, and reduced intake of water and fresh fruit.

This assessment highlights the specific imbalances of seasonal affective disorder and identifies corrective levers through nutritional optimisation and targeted micronutrition, helping to restore emotional balance, sleep, and winter vitality.
