Avoid the Back-to-School Sickness!

Unfortunately, we’ve already had our first back-to-school cold hit the house. Luckily, I had my arsenal of immune boosters ready to go, so my son was able to kick it pretty quickly. And so far (fingers crossed 🤞), no one else has come down with it. I’ll chalk that up to loading our family up with immune support from day one!

To help you do the same, I wanted to share some of my tried-and-true immune-boosting supplements and nutrition tips that keep us healthy all season long.

Supplements: 

Kid friendly: 

• Kids Propolis Throat Spray
• Kids Propolis Suckers
• Fire Cider (adults and kids) 
• Daily Nutritional Shake (1 scoop for kids) 
• Daily kids greens  Use code GISELLE to save 20%
• Children's Immune Wellness Formula (during cold and flu season daily)
• Kids probiotic

Adults: 

• Alkalizing Vitamin C (can do 1/2 a scoop for kids) 
• Adults Propolis Throat Spray
• Zinc (always take with food) 
• Daily Nutritional Shake (2 scoops a day) 
• Wellness Formula  (6 daily during cold and flu season) 
• Clinical Immunity Quickstart (at the onset of symptoms or when around others who are sick) 
• Daily probiotic (important to keep gut health as healthy as possible) 
• Greens powder daily  Use code GISELLE to save 20%

Nutrition: 

• Lemon water + sea salt → for vitamin C & electrolytes. Kids get electrolytes when sick or after lots of sweating (we love LMNT  ½ packet in 20+ oz water for little ones).  
• Bone broth → always stocked in my freezer. I make it from a whole chicken, adding veggies, sea salt, and ACV to help pull collagen and minerals from the bones.
• Smoked oysters → my youngest LOVES these (packed with zinc, a powerhouse immune mineral).
• Nutrient-dense smoothies → perfect when appetites are low. I mix healthy fats (nut butter, avocado, coconut milk), fruits (berries, mango, banana), veggies (spinach, cauliflower, zucchini), protein (protein powder, collagen, yogurt), and non-dairy milk. Endless combos, super healing!  
• Tea → especially green tea or immunity blends for their antioxidants and immune support. We like this decaf green tea and this immunity tea.  

Hope that helps you keep the sickness at bay or at least, kick it quickly!
