I M M U N E H E R B S 🤧
Elderberry 🌿 A herb high in vitamin C that is great for acute infections with a cough, congestion and fever due to its diaphoretic, anti-catarrhal, soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s yum as a cough syrup.

Andrographis 🌿 One of my go-to’s for acute and mild upper respiratory tract infections. Great to take at first sign of illness.

Reishi 🍄 Especially helpful in chronic immune weakness (get sick every time you’re stressed?) and poor resistance to airborne respiratory infections. Reishi is an adaptogen, analgesic, antioxidant, anti-tussive, expectorant and detoxifier.

Astragalus 🌿 Best used as a long-term immune support to protect the lungs (and not acutely). It’s a tonic that enhances vitality, stamina and endurance. It’s especially indicated for those with a weak immune system who are prone to getting sick.

Echinacea 🌿 Stimulates the immune system to improve resistance to infections. Best used preventatively or in the very early stages.

Licorice root 🌿 A lovely and tasty antimicrobial addition for dry and spasmodic coughs. Easily introduced as a tea or tincture.

Immune supplements 🤧
Vitamin D3 🐟 An important modulator of the immune system that is difficult to obtain through food alone, especially in the winter months (its synthesized in our body via ☀️ exposure). I generally recommend 5000 IU daily in the dark months, but this can be customized to the individual based on lab findings. It is fat soluble so it’s important to be tested if wanting to take higher amounts.
Vitamin C 🍋 An antioxidant used to prevent & reduce duration of the cold & flu. The dose is 1000-3000 mg per day. This can be taken in capsule or powder. Vitamin IV’s are another way to get a high dose around cold & flu season. It is also found in citrus fruits & orange/yellow or leafy green vegetables.
Zinc citrate 🦪 Reduces colds & flu at doses between 30-60 mg per day. It can cause stomach upset so it’s important to take with food. If taking long term, it can deplete copper so look for a supplement containing a bit of both. Foods high in zinc include oysters/shellfish, nuts & meat.
Probiotics 🦠 Our gut is lined by healthy microbes that support digestion, mood & optimal immune function. Use a product that contains Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium strains. Keep these refrigerated. Food sources include kefir, sauerkraut & miso.
NAC 🫁 A mucolytic agent used for productive coughs and lung congestion. It’s also an awesome antioxidant and great for the liver (especially if you’ve been consuming a few to many Tylenol lately). For acute uses it’s generally dosed at 500mg 3x daily.
Vitamin A 🎣 Strongly supportive to the immune system, especially if the lungs are involved (cough, congestion). Cod liver oil is high in vitamin A & can be taken daily during the cold & flu season. This is also far soluble, so high doses should be used with caution (or for short periods).
Note: The recommended doses above are for adults, not children. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional to find the best supplements, brands & doses for you.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but …
It’s still kicking around, so consider supporting your body with all the nutrients required to fight it off.
Bone broth 🦴 amino acids
Green leafies 🥬 antioxidants
Fish 🐟 omega 3
Oysters 🦪 zinc
Citrus 🍊 vitamin C
Mushrooms 🍄 vitamin D
Garlic, onion 🧄 allicin
Kefir 🦠 probiotics
Ginger 🍵 gingerol (warming!)
Sugar can suppress the immune system for up to 5 hours after consumption making your WBC 40% less effective at killing germs.
If your sick, make it easier on your body by avoiding inflammatory white foods that interfere with optimal function...& add to that white snot...yuck! 🙅🏽‍♀️

H O L I D A Y S
The holiday season can be special in so many ways - an opportunity and allotted time to gather with loved ones, to step away from work and rest, celebrate traditions, and enjoy an abundance of tasty food.

But for some, it’s also a painful and triggering event that reminds us of broken relationships, loved ones who aren’t but should be here, presents that can’t be bought, gatherings that can’t be had, and rest that can’t be took. There is an unspoken pressure to attend to others, materialistic demands, and unrealistic expectations of perfectionism.

Here’s a warm reminder to be gentle with yourself and others this holiday. It’s ok if Christmas feels hard, unwanted and sad. ❄️
