#385: How To Outsmart Cold & Flu Season — NAT’S Survival GUIDE For You & The Family (Supplements, Sleep, What to Avoid)
Today, let’s talk about immune support. With the festive season and colder months upon us, it’s the perfect time to focus on practical strategies to help you build a resilient, balanced immune system. I share not only the science-backed basics—like sleep, stress management, and the realities of sugar and alcohol—but also my favorite low-tech tools and innovative supplements for fortifying your body’s natural defenses.
In this episode, I break down common myths about immune “boosting,” explore why balance and nuance matter, and reveal how lifestyle factors can either sabotage or supercharge your immunity. Plus, I walk you through top interventions, from tried-and-true gut health routines to the latest in bioregulators and tech gadgets that support your immune system all winter long.
If you’re ready to stop feeling like a sitting duck and start laying the groundwork for a healthier, more energetic festive season, this episode is packed with actionable advice, science, and a bit of tough love—just in time to help you take control of your longevity.
