August Intentions: Eat in Season, Stress Less & Feel Your Best

As we step into August here in Georgia, the energy begins to shift. The lazy days of summer give way to school supply runs, packed lunches and new routines. Whether you're a parent, teacher or simply feeling the collective change in pace, this season can bring both excitement and overwhelm.

Here’s your gentle reminder: you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to keep up with life’s transitions.

✨ Seasonal Nourishment

Let’s start with the good stuff - what’s fresh, vibrant and nourishing this time of year. Here are a few August superstars to stock up on:

• Peaches – sweet, hydrating and packed with antioxidants

• Okra – fiber-rich and great for gut health

• Watermelon – ultra-hydrating and perfect for cooling down

• Tomatoes – full of lycopene and summer flavor

• Zucchini & Yellow Squash – versatile, mild and quick to cook

• Eggplant – meaty, satisfying and great on the grill

When we eat with the seasons we not only get more flavor and nutrients, we also align with nature’s rhythm which helps support our own internal balance.

📝  Ease Back-to-School Stress Naturally

The beginning of the school year tends to bring added pressure, but small habits can make a big impact. Try these wellness resets to keep your energy grounded and your nervous system calm:

• Get outside early. A morning walk (even just 10 minutes!) can help regulate your circadian rhythm, reduce stress hormones and set the tone for the day.

• Stay hydrated. Add fruit-infused water or herbal teas to your rotation if plain water feels boring.

• Simplify your meals. Focus on whole foods, quick plant-based meals and easy-prep snacks. Need support here? Keep reading.

• Create space for stillness. Whether it’s deep breathing, stretching or a few quiet moments with your tea, build in micro-pauses to reset throughout your day.
