The Transition Month You Didn’t Know You Needed

September sits at a powerful crossroads. Summer is winding down, the air is changing, and your body starts calling for grounding, comfort, and reset. This is the perfect month to reconnect—to routines, to rhythm, and to the kind of eating that prepares your system for the shift ahead. 

What’s in Season: Earthy, Grounding, and Fresh

Here’s what the soil is offering in September—and how it supports you.

• Sweet Potatoes – Complex carbs for sustained energy, high in vitamin A
• Greens (Collards, Kale, Mustard) – Detoxifying and fiber-rich
• Okra – High in antioxidants and supports gut health
• Apples – Cooling and cleansing, great raw or stewed
• Grapes – Rich in polyphenols, supports circulation and skin
• Late Peppers & Tomatoes – Still in season in early September for extra brightness

Some of these staples arrive in The September Glow Box, designed to help you reset, re-energize, and nourish deeply.

Reset Recipes: Easy Ideas for Slow Transition
