Essential Supplements to Support Holiday Stress‡

The holiday season is a time of joy, connection, and celebration—but for many, it can also bring increased stress. Whether it’s the financial pressure of gift-giving or managing hectic schedules, the holiday hustle can take its toll. A recent survey from the American Psychiatric Association found that holiday stress is on the rise, with concerns about finances and other pressures impacting many people.

In partnership with Pure Encapsulations, I’m sharing key tips and insights from their article on managing holiday stress with lifestyle strategies and nutritional support. If you want to read the full article, check it out here. 

Sleep and Stress Management

Getting quality sleep is foundational to managing occasional stress‡. Poor sleep can exacerbate stress, while proper rest helps the body recover and maintain balance.

• Sleep and Stress Management: Avoid blue light, limit caffeine, and create a calming nighttime routine with activities like meditation or deep breathing.
• Nutritional Support for Sleep: Nutrients such as melatonin, magnesium, and herbal blends (like those found in Pure Encapsulations® Best-Rest Formula) promote relaxation and sleep onset.‡

Lifestyle Strategies to Manage Stress

Managing stress effectively often involves making intentional lifestyle choices:

• Exercise Regularly: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly to help regulate stress hormones.
• Practice Mindfulness: Simple techniques like meditation, journaling, or listening to soothing music can bring focus back to the present.
• Plan Ahead: Forward-thinking reduces feelings of overwhelm by preparing for what’s to come.

Nutrients for Occasional Stress‡

Pure Encapsulations highlights several key ingredients that support the body’s stress response‡:

• Ashwagandha: Supports occasional stress and cognitive function.‡
• Bacopa Monnieri: Helps maintain memory and mental clarity during stressful times.‡
• Rhodiola and L-Tyrosine: Support focus and energy, especially under stress.‡
