Spring Cleaning… But Make It Metabolic
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:
- Conserves energy
- Craves heavier foods
- Moves less
- Holds onto water and glycogen
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"
- Increase hydration
- Add daily walking
- Try dry brushing
- Use sauna therapy
- Reintroduce strength training
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.
