We are thrilled to share that Rod Flahr, Director of Fitness and Personal Trainer at the Nest, was recently featured on MoosejawToday.com sharing expert insights on how to combat seasonal depression this winter. 

With over 30 years of experience in the fitness industry, Rod brings a wealth of knowledge about the powerful connection between physical activity and mental well-being. In the article, he highlights how regular movement triggers dopamine and other feel-good chemicals in the brain — helping to stabilize mood and keep spirits high even during the colder, darker months.

At the Nest, we believe in a holistic approach to health, where fitness plays a vital role not just in physical strength, but in emotional resilience too. Rod’s feature reminds us all that:

• Staying active can boost your mood and energy, especially in winter. 

• Small, consistent movement makes a big difference — from walking and stretching to full workouts in the gym. 

• Feel-good hormones like dopamine and endorphins are real allies in the battle against seasonal blues.
