Spring Cleaning… But Make It Metabolic

Reset

Everyone’s decluttering closets in March. But what if the real reset your body needs isn’t in your garage… it’s in your cells? March is a metabolic transition month. The days get longer. Light increases. Your circadian rhythm shifts. Hormones begin adjusting for higher activity and more daylight. Your body is literally coming out of winter mode. And just like your house, it needs a reset.

Your Metabolism Has Been in “Storage Mode”

During winter, your body naturally:

This isn’t weakness. It’s biology. March is when your body starts asking, “Are we moving again?” If you ignore that signal, you may feel:

•Puffy or inflamed • Sluggish in workouts• Hungrier than usual• Mentally foggy

That’s your metabolism waiting for a signal shift.

 

Light Is Your Secret Detox Tool |Longer daylight hours increase:

Serotonin

Dopamine

Thyroid signaling

Insulin sensitivity

Morning sunlight alone can:

Improve energy

Reduce cravings

Improve sleep later that night

 

Spring cleaning step #1?

Open the blinds. Step outside. Let light reset your internal clock.

 

Your Lymphatic System Wants to Move

Your lymphatic system (your body’s natural drainage network) slows during colder months.

March is the perfect time to "move your body"

Movement = cellular spring cleaning.

This Is NOT a Crash Detox Month

March is not about juice cleanses or extreme resets. Your liver already detoxes daily.

Instead, think

Protein for liver support

Fiber for gut clearance

Minerals for hydration

Sweating for circulation

Gentle metabolic shifts outperform extreme restriction every time.

 

The Smartest March Move? A Metabolic Tune-Up

Spring is a growth season. If winter left you feeling Off, Inflamed, Tired, or Stuck...March is your window to recalibrate before summer momentum begins.

At The Private Practice we have the "perfect prescription", we evaluate how your metabolism, hormones, and nutrient status are transitioning into spring.

A few virtual consult openings are available this month and March is the perfect time for a strategic reset.
