When fall creeps into my fingers

When the cold comes back (again)

I don’t know about you, but as soon as fall arrives, I start feeling cold again.And not just outside. My nose is cold, my hands are cold, my feet are frozen… even indoors.Sometimes I just make a cup of hot water (yep, plain water) and press it to my nose.It feels like it melts the chill.

I could laugh about it, but honestly, it gets annoying.So I try to find simple ways to stay warm. Nothing scientific — just real life stuff.

My weight changed, and so did my body

For a long time, I carried more weight — up to 180 lbs, and I was 209 lbs when I gave birth to my first. (I’m 5’1’’.)

Today I’m around 115 lbs (about 52 kg), and I feel good at this weight.Sure, I’ve got a bit of a belly (I’m 57, let’s be honest lol), but it’s nothing like before.

I started feeling colder when I lost weight while doing the Wahls Protocol.Even now that I eat carnivore (not religiously, just mostly), I still feel the cold a lot.

What actually helps me (without going nuts)

• A cup of hot water (or herbal tea), several times a day. That alone helps.

• My hot bath in the evening, with Epsom salts. Non-negotiable.

• Moving a bit. If I sit too long, my feet turn into little ice blocks.

• Good socks. Real ones. Wool. Not cute — warm.

• Listening to a meditation or just relaxing while the water heats up.

• Going outside without a coat for 5–10 minutes when it’s cool (not freezing). I’m from Quebec — I can handle it. 😄

And the infamous cold shower?

They say ending your shower cold activates brown fat.

Honestly? I hate it.

My legs start shaking if it’s too cold. So no, I don’t rinse off with freezing water.I’m not a Nordic warrior. 😅

Sometimes I lower the temperature a bit at the end, just so I don’t come out too limp.And even then — not every day.

What about you?

Got any real cold-fighting tricks that work?

Tell me in the comments or message me on social media.I’ll do a little post soon with your ideas (and tag you if you want).We all freeze a little differently — so let’s share what works! 💐
