Why You Feel 'SAD' Every Winter

Seasonal sadness isn’t just “winter blues.” As Oli Patrick explains, it’s a real physiological and emotional response to shorter days and reduced sunlight, one that can drain energy, lower motivation, and make even enjoyable tasks feel heavy.

In this solo episode, Oli reassures listeners that they’re not alone, normalising the experience of Seasonal Affective Disorder and encouraging open conversations about its impact. He offers simple, evidence-based tools, like light therapy, morning sunlight, and structured routines, to help lift mood and restore balance through the darker months.

With his signature mix of empathy and practical science, Oli helps listeners understand what’s happening in their bodies and gives them the tools to reclaim their energy, focus, and optimism this winter.
