It’s a fresh start for everyone – students, teachers, parents, and grandparents. Now is the perfect time to time to boost your immune system.
Back to school is here—and the case we’re working on today?
🕵️♂️ Solving the mystery of the back-to-school cold and flu season.
Every year, students, teachers, parents, and grandparents start fresh—but along with new schedules and routines come less daylight, more sports, studying late, and extra stress. That’s when your immune system does not have the energy to fight off a virus and they sneak in and take advantage.
Here’s the clue most people miss: the viral load in summer and winter is about the same. So why do we get sick more often in the fall?
Because stress and fatigue weaken our immune defenses—that’s when the cold and flu season strikes.
🕵️♀️ But good detectives know how to take action.
Let’s look at the evidence:
- Your gut is the body’s first line of defense.
- Trillions of friendly bacteria act like security guards, training your immune system to recognize viruses and fight back faster.
Now let’s build your defense team:
- Probiotics: Fresh probiotics fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kombucha, or homemade pickles and sauerkraut (not canned or jarred — the good bacteria is cooked off).
- Fruits & Vegetables: Packed with vitamins and minerals your immune system needs.
- Vitamin D & Multivitamin: Daily support to keep your energy high and defenses strong.
And here’s a pro tip: if it was a buggy day at school, change clothes when you get home and wash your hair more often than you’d think—it helps cut down on exposure.
The real goal is fewer sick days, more energy for school, sports, and fun.
So let’s crack this case together and make this the healthiest school year yet.
And if your family keeps getting caught in the cycle of colds—call me. We’ll solve the puzzle together. 🕵️♂️
