Prioritize getting outside for fresh air, Vitamin D, and beneficial micro-exposures. Support gut health with ferments (kombucha) and appropriate fiber. Utilize natural immune enhancers like Elderberry Syrup, propolis (raw honey), high-quality Vitamin D, and Zinc. Targeted supplements like Congaplex can help manage symptoms like congestion.
