Simple Tips to Improve your Immune System

Nobody likes getting sick, and especially now with the COVID-19 numbers on the rise it's critical to keep our immune system healthy. Most people don't think about the health of their immune system until we finally feel something coming on. We feel the cold, sickness, a virus, a strep throat coming on, and then suddenly we are stocking up right we're trying all the home remedy tricks and everything we learn from our grandmother's.

However, as I always say a good offense is the best defense, and the best way to fight off illness no matter what it is is to prevent them in the first place and you can do a few simple things each and every day to improve your immune system.

Simple Tips to Improve your Immune System

Rough Transcript (listening is best)

Nobody likes getting sick, and especially now with the COVID-19 numbers on the rise it's critical to keep our immune system healthy. Most people don't think about the health of their immune system until we finally feel something coming on. We feel the cold, sickness, a virus, a strep throat coming on, and then suddenly we are stocking up right we're trying all the home remedy tricks and everything we learn from our grandmother's. However, as I always say a good offense is the best defense, and the best way to fight off illness no matter what it is is to prevent them in the first place and you can do a few simple things each and every day to improve your immune system.

Welcome if this is your first time listening - I’m Audrey Christie - I’m a functional and integrative nurse nutritionist and energy medicine practitioner. I help women stop chasing symptoms and find relief and ultimately learn how to heal their bodies from autoimmune disease.

Immune System Offense Instead of Defense

I hear a lot that I tried X remedy and it didn't work.

Most often when that happens it's because they've waited too late. Waiting too late happens when we aren't in touch with our body so we don't know when something is a mess when something's coming on and waiting too long happens when we're not playing offense.

So instead of scouring Amazon or your local pharmacy when you get sick and trying to find all of the remedies...maybe, just maybe, you try a little bit of offense.

Today we're going to talk about some simple steps that you can do each day. These tips are good for the whole family. And especially good for people with autoimmune disease. These tips will help you more than that vitamin C and herbal tea and all the things that you reach for when you've already come down with something.

Immune System Tips

Get Enough Sleep (you can learn more about sleep hygiene in episode 116 and plant medicine for sleep in 117)

Getting enough quality sleep each night is so essential for a healthy immune system. Try to get the recommended 7-8 hours of sound sleep each night, which may take some practice to build up to.

How to Stop Mosquito Bites (and Why it Matters for Autoimmunity)

Are you tired of trying to figure out how to stop the mosquito bites from making you miserable? Did you know that constantly being attacked by mosquitos is actually preventable and super important to protect your immune system - especially for autoimmune sufferers?

I know you are probably thinking - wait, now I have to be uber careful about mosquitos too? It’s not exactly that - if you are the one that is always getting bitten up - then learning how to stop mosquito bites WILL help you and will help your immune system to function properly. This happens because you are avoiding that little jolt of inflammatory saliva from the mosquito and because being loved by mosquitos is a sign that there are other deficiencies happening in your body.

Today you will know exactly what that might mean for you (and it could be a clue to one of your root causes AND you will also find out some natural ways you can stop mosquito bites while you are working on the deeper internal nutrient deficiencies.

How to Stop Mosquito Bites (and why it matters for autoimmunity)

Rough Transcript (listening is best)

Are mosquitos eating you up?

So are you someone that gets eaten up at a party by mosquitos? Or maybe you know someone who does? Then perk up those ears - 

The truth of the matter is, there is a perfect recipe that mosquitoes like to bite and it consists of a few possible combinations of low b vitamins, and metabolic acidosis (meaning you are producing more CO2)

Nutrient Deficiency

The most common nutrient deficiency we see with frequent mosquito bites are in the B vitamin family, including Thiamine, and breathing out a higher than average amount of CO2. If you Google it you'll find that in the B vitamin and mosquito theory is a myth. but if you know about the human body if you know about biology then you know that the studies that show what are indicated as reasons why mosquitoes like you at things like increased carbon dioxide actually can stem from B vitamin deficiency. They can also stem from high blood sugar hi build-up of lactic acid they can stem from cogs kidneys that can stem from a need for L-glutamine. it could be one of these or all of these. You see the B vitamin is a chain reaction that starts all sorts of different things happening in the body that leads to you breathing out more carbon dioxide and the mosquitoes coming to eat it all up. it can also be a simple problem with not having enough stomach acid so often we will find people who take antacids Tum’s proton pump inhibitors things in that class of medications over-the-counter or prescription-strength often are the victim of too many mosquito bites and all the Cascade of things that happen after that.

Why would you want to stop mosquito bites?

There's no denying that there is an inflammatory response in the body when you're bitten by a mosquito. I don't know anyone who doesn't get at least a small wheel that may or may not itch and may or may not be read but you have a noticeable mar...

What causes autoimmune disease?

I am frequently asked - "so, Audrey, what causes autoimmune disease?" 

My response is almost always - "it is a tree with many roots."

Let me paint a picture for you - This is what I mean by that, picture a tree where rheumatoid arthritis is the trunk, and the branches are all the different symptoms that come with it - joint pain, swelling, redness, reduced ability to move around - anything else that you experience... it is the outward appearance to you the person suffering from rheumatoid in this example OR to others who see you suffering.

Then under the ground - what people can’t see are the roots of the tree, there may be a few that poke through and are obvious from the above-ground but the majority of the roots aren’t obvious. It’s how we land at rheumatoid arthritis is not a disease of the joints - just like psoriasis isn’t a disease of the skin. It is much more than that. The joints, the skin, those are symptoms - branches if you will.

And it's those roots - those are what cause autoimmune disease. That is where you find the issue that is causing the problem and that is where you will find the cure, relief, remission. That is where you start your revolution.

What Causes Autoimmune Disease

Rough Transcript (listening is best)

What Causes Autoimmune Disease?

I am frequently asked - "so, Audrey, what causes autoimmune disease?"

My response is almost always - "it is a tree with many roots."

Let me paint a picture for you to help you understand...Picture a tree where rheumatoid arthritis (or psoriasis or insert your autoimmune condition) is the trunk, and the branches are all the different symptoms that come with it - joint pain, swelling, redness, reduced ability to move around - anything else that you experience... it is the outward appearance to you the person suffering from rheumatoid in this example OR to others who see you suffering.

Then under the ground - what people can’t see are the roots of the tree, there may be a few that poke through and are obvious from the above-ground but the majority of the roots aren’t obvious. It’s how we land at rheumatoid arthritis is not a disease of the joints - just like psoriasis isn’t a disease of the skin. It is much more than that. The joints, the skin, those are symptoms - branches if you will.

And it's those roots - those are what causes autoimmune disease. That is where you find the issue that is causing the problem and that is where you will find the cure, relief, remission. That is where you start your revolution.

Are you making your autoimmune condition worse?

Raise your hand - answer me out loud - what comes up when I say your autoimmune disease is not a disease of the outward symptoms? And what if I told you that treating it as such - actually makes your condition worse and causes additional autoimmune diseases to start.

Stress and Autoimmune Disease

Are you doing everything right to heal your autoimmune disease but nothing is working? Stop. You could be stuck in a stress spiral - especially if you haven’t been sleeping OR you’ve been working out like a crazed person - OR - you are literally human because of everything that is going on in the world right now.

Many people don’t realize - and you may be one of them - that stress is deadly and it is a major cause of autoimmune disease and autoimmune flares. I’m not being dramatic. It has a physical effect on your human suit especially when it is sustained or routinely happening. Stress doesn’t just have an impact on your physical health though, it causes our health, energetic field, relationships, and livelihood to suffer. Stress changes our moods, impedes our ability to form clear thoughts, actions, and plans - it makes us more susceptible to getting sick and more prone to autoimmune disease and flares of existing autoimmune conditions.

Overall, stress can weaken your body and spirit. - it doesn’t make you weird, or wrong, in even incapable of healing. There are so many experts out there shouting “do this!” and “get rid of that!” and because they look like experts and when we are suffering we are desperate for something to work - we jump on board and then find ourselves still suffering from symptoms and on top of that now suffering in emotional ways because we gave up our favorite foods.

We are changing that today friend! Today we are talking about stress and autoimmune disease - which may be more important that ever before.

Stress and Autoimmune Disease

Welcome if this is your first time listening - I’m Audrey Christie - I’m a functional and integrative nurse nutritionist and energy medicine practitioner. I help women stop chasing symptoms and find relief and ultimately learn how to heal their bodies from autoimmune disease.

A brief word about Racism and White Privilege

It would be violent, remiss, inappropriate, I can think of many things here - but let's go with wrong of me not to mention what is happening in the world right now especially because silence is violence. Many of you wondered where I was last week - I committed to a week of amplifying and centering black voices so that I could listen. You have to listen and learn and unlearn. One of my biggest takeaways and it makes total sense, I am sad I didn’t think of it before is that this is a white people problem and it is up to us to fix it now and raise up people of color.

There are so many ways to get involved because this is a long fight - I have a list of places you can get involved from free to paid and from marching to from the comfort of home.

For me, I am committed to donating funds to causes like GrassRoots Law and the National Bail Out Fund for Black Mamas.

Trouble Falling Asleep and/or Staying Asleep

Still having trouble falling asleep? Have you tried the sleep hacks from the last episode and still not falling asleep? Sometimes, for some of us, our brains simply can’t create the right mixture of melatonin and other internal chemicals to allow for a sound sleep all night long.

I want to preface this information - with 2 things - if sleep hygiene isn’t enough I encourage you to seek some help to overcome trouble falling asleep - I have a low cost sleep appointment available or find someone you can consult with that understands sleep at the physiological level. Second, when you are thinking sleep hygiene - those 6 steps I mentioned last week aren’t enough - make sure that you are being honest with yourself and that they are truly not working when you are saying "Audrey, I'm still having trouble falling asleep!"

It’s easy in our overly busy and instant gratification world to want to continue watching our horror shows while playing on our phones and expect to take some herbs to ease our trouble falling asleep. Then use them nightly to drift off to sleep and wake up feeling bushy-tailed, But that won’t work forever, and can cause more problems in the long run - those problems we talked about last week - inflammation, immune system, hormone disruption, autoimmune triggers, the list goes on.

Today we diving into the exact sleep remedies for when you are having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep when the 6 steps to good sleep aren’t enough.

Trouble Falling Asleep and Staying Asleep

Transcript (this is fairly raw transcript - there will be errors)

Trouble Falling Asleep: When Sleep Hygiene doesn't fix it

Hopefully after episode 116 - you are starting to understand the importance of sleep, right? While you are sleeping - your body is working to restock your hormones, process serious toxins, repair tissue damage, re-arm the immune system with vital white blood cells, eliminate the effects of stress, and process those big heavy emotions.

I like to use the analogy of a grocery store at night - from the outside when you pull up - not much going on, it may even look like the store is closed, no cars out front. But when you go in to grab whatever you need on that midnight stash the store is bustling with workers. They are cleaning and restocking and straightening, getting everything in order for the next day.

So when you don’t sleep - either by design or by the way your body is stuck in inflammation, immune system, hormone disruption, autoimmune triggers, the list goes on and on.

That’s why sleep is one of the first priorities we address in my CLEAR method.

Also before I jump into the natural remedies, a word about over the counter and prescription sleep aids. There are many sleep medications available to you today. And as you know I take a yes and approach to medication and traditional medicine. Sleep aids, whether OTC or prescription can be useful for short term things triage when one is going through short-term tr...

Sleep Help: Fix It Fast

Tell me… how do you sleep at night? And not like from guilt - even though I can see how that phrase might of come off, but as in - Do you fall asleep easy? Do you wake feeling rested? Do you sleep all night long?

If you can’t guess what I am going to say next - I’m just going to lay it out there for you. Sleep is critical for your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. Vital even. And yet for so many - sleep is elusive.

Think of how many times you hear someone say - I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I didn’t sleep. Now one end of that for SURE is the over glorification of busy BUT there is another side entirely in the time and quality of heads on the pillow. And that leads to inflammation, the build-up of toxins, the inability to process deep emotions, and disrupted energy flow.

There are more sleep aids on the market today than ever before and yet we are still sleepless.

Dive in with me today, so I can get you on the way to a full and restful night’s sleep.

Sleep Help: Fix It Fast

Tell me… how do you sleep at night? And not like from guilt - even though I can see how that phrase might of come off, but as in - Do you fall asleep easy? Do you wake feeling rested? Do you sleep all night long?

If you can’t guess what I am going to say next - I’m just going to lay it out there for you. Sleep is critical for your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. Vital even. And yet for so many - sleep is elusive.

There are more sleep aids on the market today than ever before and yet we are still sleepless.

Dive in with me today, so I can get you on the way to a full and restful night’s sleep.

Sleep is Critical

Sleep doesn’t feel very important to us - we all go through stages in life yes? Where sleep is for old folks - or maybe we’ve proclaimed “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.”

I may have even proclaimed that before... and I get it from the outside the body appears to be still and inactive. But there is actually so much more going on in there!

During the night, while you snooze your body is working to restock your hormones, process serious toxins, repair tissue damage, re-arm the immune system with vital white blood cells, eliminate the effects of stress, and process those big heavy emotions.

The current state of sleep disorders – isn’t just causing the coffee stock to soar - it is disrupting our immune system, inflaming autoimmune conditions, and causing hormone disruptions...coffee ain’t fixin’ that.

Luckily, sleep is one of the first priorities I address in their journey back to wellness.

Autoimmune Diet: Why It's Not Working (and what to try instead)

Are you tired of trying to figure out WTF you should do for your autoimmune condition? Specifically, if there is an “autoimmune diet” you should follow? Have you tried EVERYTHING? Given up lots of foods only to find that you are still having symptoms?

Here’s the thing - it doesn’t make you weird, or wrong, in even incapable of healing. There are so many experts out there shouting “do this!” and “get rid of that!” and because they look like experts and when we are suffering we are desperate for something to work - we jump on board and then find ourselves still suffering from symptoms and on top of that now suffering in emotional ways because we gave up our favorite foods.

We are changing that today friend! Today we are talking about foods you can ADD to your autoimmune diet that are delish and help you heal and we are getting rid of some MAJOR misconceptions about what the perfect autoimmune diet really is.

Which Autoimmune Diets have you tried?

I’ve seen it 1000s of times - some version of “Audrey I have tried everything, I’m taking a supplement protocol, and I’m eating 100% keto and not getting better.” You could swap keto with literally any autoimmune diet:

AIP (Autoimmune Protocol)

Low or no Fodmaps

Vegan

Raw vegan

Paleo

Keto

Veto

You get the idea right?

Here’s the thing - if you just throw spaghetti at the wall by trying whatever diet plan is the next best thing - then guess what you get? Some spaghetti might stick but ultimately you get a big ol’ mess....

Words have power - Living with Autoimmune Disease.

Are you temporarily living with an autoimmune disease? OR have you become that condition? Do you identify with the autoimmune disease you are living with? What about a chronic health condition? You know - are you saying things like I have psoriasis or I am a diabetic. Not that those are inherently wrong...for many living with autoimmune disease imparts a certain energy of taking ownership.

When you claim it and become your diagnosis - which I see so often in the natural progression of long-term autoimmune sufferers, then you are calling it into existence you are manifesting that in your human suit. Today we are changing that - we are working on some simple mindset shifts if you are living with autoimmune disease.

In this episode, you will learn -

what it means for words to have power

why its so important if you are living with autoimmune disease (or trying to heal one)

1 quick shift to change it now

Okay - so someone walks up to you and asks in casual conversation why you did something - say walked your 5k instead of run… and your answer may be “well because I have rheumatoid and I’m in a flare right now” or someone happens to wonder out loud about you checking your blood sugar “oh I am diabetic.” When you claim your diagnosis as your own when you incorporate it into your being - your very essences -then guess what you get - you more deeply integrate your autoimmune condition into your body, your cells, your Soul.

What about the term “I am sick” or “I am chronically ill” or how about this one because it often has a positive thought pro...

Vitamin D Benefits for Autoimmunity

Transcript (this is fairly raw transcript - there will be errors)

Vitamin D - free and full of benefits

Today we are talking about the freest of the free way to regulate and balance your mood, to boost up and mediate your immune system, to protect against cancer (including skin cancer), to regulate blood sugar, to improve focus and concentration and memory too, to build strong bones, and help regulate blood pressure…

What miracle drug am I talking about? You probably know better at this point, but I am not talking about a drug or a supplement or even a food! I am talking about good ol’ vitamin D Benefits!

Yes, VITAMIN D!

First I want to do a quick shout out… I love getting positive feedback from my clients and from you my audience… so today I want to highlight Kimberly -

Kimberly says - I struggle daily with anxiety and depression and 2 autoimmune diseases but I have to give a huge shout out to a gifted woman, Audrey, for helping me get this under control. Every day isn’t perfect yet but I feel much better almost all of the time and I know that longer-term remission is just around the corner.

Whooooop! I love hearing stuff like that. Thank you for sharing that Kimberly!!

This is also a really good time to share with you my most popular and completely FREE downloadable guide and in it, you will find 5 steps simple to start healing your autoimmune disease TODAY. You can download it at audreychristie.com/autoimmune - you will find a link in the show notes too!

What is vitamin D?

Vitamin D is kinda funny, because even though it is called a “vitamin” and is forever enshrined with the other fat-soluble vitamins...it really isn’t a vitamin at all. It is for sure vital to your health and wellness but Vitamin D is a HORMONE (more than 1 chemical messenger gets lumped under the D) that is primarily produced in the skin through exposure to sunlight.

Structured Water from Crystals

I asked about this question on my Instagram stories - about do you want to get weird and dive into the SCIENCE behind gem elixirs aka structured water. So get your science hats on because we are getting WEIRD today!

For anyone suffering from really any condition, but specifically here - you, my autoimmune audience - we know that water is an ultimate pillar of health - right? In fact, it is part of my 5 elements that must be in balance in order to heal your immune system - whether its healing from autoimmunity or just keeping it in good working order in general.

Drinking enough water is critical and today we are talking about structured water - and not the kind you get from a fancy machine that costs a few hundred (or more dollars) although much of this will apply - but the kind you get from incorporating crystals into your water.

Drinking enough water is essential to combat fatigue, keep the body from storing toxins, healthy skin, those pads in between your joints (like your knees and between the vertebrae in your back).
