How to Boost Your Immunity for Cold and Flu Season


Listen Later

This year, staying well and preventing colds and flu is more important than ever. Not only is it expected to be a worse-than-average flu season, but we’re also entering another COVID winter. But what is it that you can do that really works to boost your immunity? Can you actually rely on herbs and supplements? What else can you do?  

In this episode, I answer these questions and more. I share the top tips that really work to prevent colds and flu in adults and kids—from the practical to the pharmaceutical to the nutritional and herbal.  

 

Have a listen to learn: 

  • The difference between colds and flu, and what all the fuss about flu is about 
  • The role of flu vaccines and Tamiflu in flu prevention 
  • Who might be at higher risk with the flu 
  • The roles of exercise, diet, and sleep in boosting immunity - and the surprising importance of not over-exercising 
  • The best supplements and herbs to boost immunity, including doses, and what you can safely try if you're pregnant or nursing.  

I hope this episode brings you food for thought and support for a healthy autumn and winter!
