Why Fall Is the Perfect Season to Reset Your Health (+ Simple Steps to Begin Fresh)
There’s something about fall that feels like a deep breath. The mornings are crisp, the days grow shorter, and the leaves begin to let go. Nature has this way of whispering to us, “Slow down. Release what you no longer need. Make space for what’s coming.”
That’s why fall is such a powerful time to reset your health. While January 1st usually gets all the attention, autumn quietly offers us the perfect chance to begin fresh—without the pressure, without the rush.
In this guide, we’ll explore why fall is ideal for a reset, how to take simple steps toward a healthier rhythm, and a few of my favorite supportive tools (including cozy fall essential oils) to make the process enjoyable.
Fall is the time to let go.
Everywhere you look, nature is letting go. The season is over and you see that the trees don’t cling to their leaves, gardens turn over, and the air itself feels lighter. This rhythm of letting go is exactly what our bodies and minds crave, too.
But here’s the hard truth: we often hold onto habits, routines, or even thought patterns that no longer serve us. They feel familiar—even comforting—so we keep them around even when they’re draining us. I know for me it can often look like:
Running on sugar and caffeine to get through the day.
Feeling stuck in survival mode, even when life looks “fine” on the outside.
Carrying everyone else’s needs so heavily that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to breathe.
Fall gently reminds us that release is part of growth. Just like the trees let go so they can renew in spring, we can let go of what’s heavy to make space for something better.
Here's a Simple Reset Idea:
Take ten minutes this week and write down three things you’re ready to release. They can be habits, mindsets, or even the quiet doubts that whisper, “you’ll never change.” Fold up the paper and tuck it away as a symbol of moving forward.
And here’s a little secret I’ve learned: if you’re tired of carrying the same weight year after year, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. There are powerful tools and communities designed to help you break free and step into something lighter, stronger, and more fulfilling.

The Rewiring Workbook gives you simple, step-by-step exercises to uncover hidden thoughts, release what’s holding you back, and start creating the life you actually want.
Nourishment for the Season
Fall is a season of grounding foods and warming flavors. The body naturally craves soups, roasted veggies, and teas that comfort while also strengthening digestion and immunity.
This is a great time to refresh your kitchen, simplify your pantry, and bring in seasonal foods: squash, pumpkin, apples, pears, root vegetables, and dark leafy greens.
And of course, I like to add in natural supports that pair beautifully with the season:
On Guard® Protective Blend – my go-to for immune support. I’ll diffuse it when the kids bring home sniffles or add a drop to warm tea with honey.
Cinnamon Bark & Clove Oils – these not only smell like fall in a bottle but also support circulation and digestion. I’ll sometimes stir a toothpick swirl into oatmeal or cider.
Revitazen™ – this new blend is designed to support detoxification and balance from the inside out, making it an amazing tool as you reset for fall.
Harvest Spice® – the limited-time seasonal blend that brings all the cozy fall vibes into your home. Diffuse it to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere while also supporting emotional grounding.

Cozy Fall Reset Soup
This nourishing soup is packed with seasonal vegetables, warming spices, and a touch of essential oil support to bring comfort and balance to your fall reset.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon sea salt (more to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 drop Cinnamon Bark essential oil (to taste — start small!)
1 drop Clove essential oil (optional, for warmth)
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cubed butternut squash, broth, and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until squash is tender.
Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring to a blender), puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in coconut milk and adjust seasoning. Add essential oils last — start with just a toothpick swirl dipped into the soup, then taste before adding more.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve warm.
Finding Simple Ways to Reset This Fall
Resetting Your Mindset
Fall naturally invites us to slow down. With less daylight and cooler evenings, it’s a season that nudges us inward—toward reflection, rest, and simple rhythms that bring us back to center. Instead of pushing against that slower pace, what if you leaned into it?
This is the perfect time to start a gratitude practice or journaling habit. Something as simple as lighting a candle, sipping a caffeine-free tea, and writing down three things you’re grateful for can shift how you end your day. Gratitude doesn’t need to be long or complicated—the act itself helps train your mind to notice the good, even when life feels heavy.
Movement That Grounds You
Movement in fall doesn’t have to mean pushing yourself harder—it’s about consistency and balance. A brisk evening walk with the crunch of leaves under your shoes, a gentle yoga flow to release tension, or twenty minutes of strength training a few times a week can do wonders for your energy and focus.
The secret is choosing something you actually enjoy, so it feels like a gift instead of another chore. Small amounts of steady movement add up to big shifts over time.
Sleep: The Reset Most of Us Skip
Sleep is often the first thing we sacrifice, but it’s the foundation of healing. Fall’s longer nights are nature’s way of reminding us to restore.
Start simple: stick to a consistent bedtime, dim lights and screens an hour before sleep, and give yourself a few quiet minutes of stillness. Even five to ten minutes of calm before bed can improve how deeply you rest and how well your body repairs.
Putting It All Together
Here’s the secret: you don’t need to tackle everything at once. Pick one area—mindset, movement, or sleep—and start there. Small, consistent changes ripple out in powerful ways.
Imagine walking into the holidays already feeling lighter, calmer, and more aligned. That’s the gift of beginning now. 🍂
