This episode breaks down how the immune system works, how it shifts during pregnancy, and what those changes mean for staying healthy while you are expecting. You will learn why the most effective way to support your immune system begins with core foundations like sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, and stress management. The episode also examines the evidence on popular immune-support supplements and remedies, including vitamins and minerals, probiotics, choline, antioxidants, echinacea, elderberry, and medicinal mushrooms. Most importantly, we explore how to make sense of all the options so you can determine which supplements may be worth considering and when it makes sense to talk with your doctor or midwife about targeted support.
