Instead of reaching in your medicine cabinet, how about reaching into your spice cabinet - our guest will tell you how in this very helpful episode.

Wellness expert and return guest Jaya Jaya Myra tells us exactly what we need to keep in our pantries and how to use these spices in everyday recipes and drinks.

In this episode, she tells us about these 5 spices and many more:

1. Cinnamon – Packed with antioxidants and helps stabilize blood sugar, which supports steady energy and mood during a season filled with sweets.
2. Ginger – Naturally reduces inflammation and soothes the throat, making it a go-to for immunity and winter comfort.
3. Nutmeg – Supports relaxation and calm, ideal for holiday stress and better sleep.
4. Cloves – Their potent antimicrobial properties help the body fight off winter bugs.
5. Star Anise – Contains shikimic acid, a key compound used in antiviral medications.

Additionally, she gives us her special recipes for:

• A "winter immunity tea" using pantry spices
• Her "mood-boosting sprinkle mix" for oatmeal, coffee, or baking

She talks to us about the difference between prebiotics and probiotics and some simple "switches" to make for healthier food choices.
