As the clocks go back and the days become shorter, many of us notice a drop in energy, motivation, and mood. The colder mornings, darker evenings, and shift in routine can all contribute to what is often referred to as autumn fatigue. You might find yourself reaching for more coffee, struggling to get out of bed, or feeling more sluggish than usual, even if you are getting enough sleep. Autumn does not have to mean feeling run down or struggling through the day. With the right support, you can feel brighter, stronger, and more energised ready to make the most of the season and everything it brings.
At Estheva, we understand how seasonal changes affect both body and mind. Our clinic offers medical wellness treatments that can help you feel more energised, focused, and balanced even when the weather is working against you. If you are struggling with tiredness or low mood during autumn, Vitamin B12 injections and IV therapy are two powerful options that can give your system the boost it needs.
Why Do We Feel More Tired in Autumn?
Fatigue in autumn is more common than you might think. As the daylight hours decrease, your body produces more melatonin the hormone that regulates sleep and less serotonin, which helps to stabilise mood and energy. This hormonal shift can leave you feeling groggy during the day and craving more sleep at night.
You might also experience the following symptoms
- A drop in mood or motivation
- Difficulty concentrating
- Increased cravings for carbohydrates or sugary foods
- Weakened immune response
Dry skin or general dehydration
Combine this with colder temperatures and less time outdoors, and your body can start to feel like it is running on empty. Autumn also tends to be a busier time for many, with the return of school routines, work deadlines, and the lead up to the festive season. It is a time when many people are giving a lot to others, but not necessarily looking after themselves.
What Is Vitamin B12 and Why Do You Need It?
Vitamin B12 is essential for many of the body’s natural processes. It helps to produce red blood cells, supports nerve function, and plays a key role in energy metabolism. When your B12 levels are low, you are more likely to feel tired, weak, or mentally foggy no matter how much sleep you get.
Common signs of B12 deficiency
- Persistent fatigue
- Low mood or irritability
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Dizziness or light headedness
- Pale skin
Low B12 levels can be caused by several factors, including dietary choices (such as a vegetarian or vegan diet), digestive issues, age, or certain medications. In many cases, it goes undiagnosed but it is easy to treat with the right support.
The Benefits of B12 Injections at Estheva
A Vitamin B12 injection is a simple and effective way to raise your B12 levels quickly. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system, a B12 injection is delivered directly into the muscle, allowing for faster absorption.
At Estheva, we offer medical grade B12 injections administered by trained professionals in a calm and private setting. Appointments are quick, and many clients report feeling more energised and mentally sharp within days of treatment.
B12 injections are particularly beneficial during the autumn and winter months when fatigue and low mood are more common. They are also helpful if you:
- Follow a plant based diet
- Work long hours or night shifts
- Struggle with sleep or low mood
- Want to support your immune system naturally
- Feel tired all the time but are not sure why
Some people choose a one off injection to help them through a busy period, while others benefit from a short course or regular top ups throughout the colder months.
What Is IV Drip Therapy and How Does It Help?
IV (intravenous) therapy is another highly effective way to give your body the nutrients it needs, especially when your energy is low or your immune system needs a helping hand.
With IV therapy, vitamins, minerals, and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster and more complete absorption. This makes it ideal for people who want to feel the effects quickly whether that is better energy, improved hydration, or a stronger immune response.
At Estheva, our IV drips are completely bespoke. Each one is tailored to your individual needs after a consultation with our clinical team. The process is relaxed and takes around 30 to 45 minutes, during which you can sit back and unwind in the comfort of our Stirling clinic.
