Those pumpkin spice cravings aren’t just seasonal—they’re your body asking for something it’s missing.
Fall and winter are prime time for comfort foods, but reaching for carbs, sweets, or heavier meals doesn’t always mean a lack of willpower. Often, your body is signaling:
🩸 Blood sugar imbalances
🧠 Stress hormone (cortisol) fluctuations
🥦 Nutrient deficiencies
Functional medicine looks beyond cravings to uncover the root cause, so you can satisfy your body’s needs without feeling out of control or guilty.
💡 Next time that pumpkin pie looks irresistible, ask yourself: What is my body really asking for?
