Nourishing the nervous system and finding your rhythm again

January can sometimes feel disorientating. The festive rush has passed, routines have slipped, sleep may be fragmented, and for many of us, December indulgence – whether food, alcohol, socialising, or sheer overstimulation – leaves the nervous system asking for a pause. Add to that the reality of mid-winter in the UK: short days, cold weather, reduced sunlight, and a natural biological pull towards rest rather than productivity.
