Celebrate Fall in Aurora: Seasonal Wellness Tips + The Support Your Body Needs

Fall in the Willamette Valley is a season of abundance, crisp mornings, golden leaves, and moments to make you slow down and savor it all. As the seasons shift, your body shifts too. This is the perfect time to reset, replenish, and prepare for the colder months ahead.

At Willow Holistic Wellness, we believe seasonal changes are an opportunity to align your habits with nature’s rhythms. Here’s how to keep your energy, mood, and immunity strong this fall,  and how I can help.

1. Fuel Your Body with Seasonal Foods

Visit farmers markets in our local area, which are overflowing with fall produce like squash, root vegetables, apples, pears, pumpkins and more. These nutrient-dense foods are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, essentials for immune health, steady energy and much more..
Tip: Roast a mix of root vegetables with olive oil, rosemary, and garlic for an easy, warming side dish.

2. Support Immunity Before the Cold Season

Fall is when many people start to notice their immune systems working overtime. Now’s the time to check in on your vitamin D levels, boost your hydration, and make sure your body has the nutrients it needs to thrive. Have a customized ‘emergency immune booster basket’ in your home that contains the essentials like garlic/mullein oil, propolis, slippery elm, eucalyptus, probiotics and essential oils.
Susie’s recommendation: Pair your seasonal wellness routine with a customized IV nutrient infusion or injection series to support immune health, reduce fatigue, and promote faster recovery.

3. Get a Clear Picture of Your Health

Feeling tired? Having trouble focusing? Noticing changes in your mood or weight? A comprehensive blood panel can help to give you the answers you need. By identifying nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or early signs of inflammation, we can create a personalized wellness plan that supports you through the fall and winter months.

4. Keep Moving,  Even as Days Get Shorter

With shorter daylight hours, it’s easy to slow down. But movement is key to maintaining strong circulation, flexibility, and mental health. If you aren’t already, try walking Aurora’s historic streets, hiking nearby PNW trails, or join a yoga class. Pair this with gentle stretching in the mornings to reduce stiffness as temperatures drop. If your birthday number has passed 50, it becomes essential to stretch everyday, get on the floor, get up off the floor and keep your core and legs strong and flexible. 

5. Make Self-Care a Seasonal Ritual

Fall is nature’s reminder to slow down. Embrace cozy evenings, herbal teas, warm baths, and restorative sleep. Stress management is as important as diet and exercise when it comes to overall wellness. If you are experiencing night awakenings, be sure to get out in the morning and look toward the light. Studies show that there are light receptors in the back of the eye that regulate the circadian rhythm are a specialized type of cell called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). These cells contain a pigment called melanopsin and are responsible for sending signals to the part of the brain which acts as the body's master clock. This process helps to synchronize the body's sleep-wake cycle, hormone activity, and other functions with the day-night cycle, even for people with some forms of blindness. Even in our Oregon overcast winter there is enough light to aid this process.
