What if you could maintain optimal wellness during the holiday frenzy and while on the go? My biohacking bestie, Laini Gray, and I, Sandy Kruse, unravel the secrets of strong immune health and holistic wellness even amidst the travel and holiday hustle. Armed with Laini's deep insights as a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, we provide fascinating details on gut health, building immunity through exposure, and the crucial role of vitamin D in our health blueprint. Get in touch with Laini at https://graystarhealth.com/.

Our conversation expands to cover the challenges that come with travel and maintaining healthy habits. We let you into our world, sharing nuggets from our personal experiences, including our favorite sleep hacks for unfamiliar environments and preventive measures to avoid getting sick during travel. We also stress the importance of cultivating resilience to stress even while on the go, and we shine a spotlight on how B vitamins, vitamin C, and probiotics lend robust support to our immune system and adrenal glands.

We then stir the waters a bit as we navigate the current hot topic - masks and mask mandates. We dissect the functioning of masks and express our views on why mandates might not always yield the desired results, underscoring the pivotal role of personal responsibility in maintaining one's health. We then wind down with an inspiring heart-to-heart with Laini about her journey towards self-love and self-care, her boundary-setting strategies, and the positive ripple effects these have had on her life. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and personal experiences, designed to inspire and guide you to keep healthy and vibrant, no matter the season. Tune in for a dose of wellness wisdom!
