Spring is often associated with renewal and energy—but for many people, it also brings increased stress, fatigue, sleep disruption, and mental overload. Seasonal transitions place new demands on your nervous system, hormones, and adrenal function, making targeted nutritional support especially important.
Three of the most powerful tools for supporting your body during spring stress are magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogenic herbs. Together, they help regulate the nervous system, improve energy production, and enhance resilience to physical and emotional stress.
Why Spring Can Stress the Body
As daylight increases and routines change, your body must adapt quickly. Common spring stressors include:
- Increased activity levels
- Sleep pattern changes
- Hormonal shifts
- Allergies and inflammation
- Mental overload and nervous system stimulation
Without proper support, these changes can lead to:
- Fatigue and burnout
- Anxiety or irritability
- Poor sleep quality
- Muscle tension and headaches
- Brain fog
Supporting the nervous system is key to navigating spring with energy and balance.
Magnesium: The Nervous System’s Calming Mineral
Magnesium plays a critical role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body and is essential for nervous system regulation, muscle relaxation, and stress resilience.
Benefits of magnesium include:
- Calming the nervous system
- Supporting restful sleep
- Reducing muscle tension and headaches
- Supporting heart and blood sugar health
- Improving stress tolerance
Recommended Option:
Magnesium Glycinate Complex™ (Designs for Health)
This highly absorbable form supports relaxation without digestive upset and is ideal for stress, sleep, and muscle support.
B Vitamins: Energy & Stress Resilience
B vitamins are essential for energy production, brain function, and nervous system health. Chronic stress quickly depletes B vitamins, making replenishment critical—especially during seasonal transitions.
Benefits include:
- Supporting adrenal function
- Enhancing mental clarity and focus
- Supporting mood and emotional balance
- Improving energy metabolism
Recommended Option:

Adaptogens: Helping the Body Adapt to Stress
Adaptogens are unique herbs that help the body regulate stress by supporting the adrenal glands and balancing cortisol levels.
Benefits of adaptogens include:
- Improved stress tolerance
- Balanced energy levels
- Reduced fatigue
- Enhanced focus and mood stability
Recommended Option:
Adrenotone™ (Designs for Health)
A clinically formulated blend of adaptogenic herbs designed to support adrenal and nervous system function during periods of stress.
How Chiropractic Care Enhances Stress Support
Chiropractic care plays an important role in stress management by optimizing nervous system function. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, the body stays stuck in a stress (fight-or-flight) state.
Regular chiropractic care can:
- Improve parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activation
- Reduce muscle tension and stress patterns
- Support better sleep and recovery
- Enhance the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation
By combining chiropractic adjustments with targeted nutrient support, the body can shift into a more resilient, balanced state.
Putting It All Together: A Spring Stress Reset
Supporting your body through spring doesn’t require extreme changes—just the right foundation:
- Consistent chiropractic care
