What to Do with the Upcoming Sniffle Season:<\/p>\n
Recently, a lot of my clients have been “coming down with bronchitis” and other flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n
I wanted to share with you some ways to help you protect yourself naturally:<\/p>\n
I. Take good care of yourself and practice stress reduction techniques.<\/p>\n
High stress can lead to adrenal burnout, this affects your immune system and thyroid gland!<\/p>\n
II. Get enough sleep<\/p>\n
It’s important to allow your body time to heal. Your best times for rejuvenation are between 10pm-1am, so try to get to bed between 10 and 11pm.<\/p>\n
III. Boost your immune function<\/p>\n
Consult with an Integrative Doctor or functional medical practitioner for an individualized plan to support your genetic predispositions and boost your immune system. Whole food nutrition and lifestyle support are essential. <\/p>\n
IV. Immune Supporting & Rejuvenation Protocol:<\/p>\n
Doses specified to your individual needs and supplements are usually ordered by your health care practitioner. (They have access to high quality, therapeutic products). Otherwise, make sure you know the quality of the supplements you are buying!<\/p>\n
1. Vitamin D<\/p>\n
2. Immuplex, allerplex or Congaplex: whole food nutrition for immune system support<\/p>\n
3. RC, Raven, & thieves essential oils<\/p>\n
Thieves can be applied to the feet everyday for preventative measures<\/p>\n
4. Probiotics <\/p>\n
I recommend the following to my patients: Flora 20-14, Renew for Life, or theracomplete<\/p>\n
5. Minerals<\/p>\n
6. Green products such as chlorophyll <\/p>\n
7. Adrenal and Insulin regulating supplements <\/p>\n
In my practice I use: adrenal complex, adrenal response, licorice, metabolic synergy, endotrim, drenamin, and endoflex essential oil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
