What a week! 🏝️ ✈️ 🤧 🩹
After the best time in Fiji I landed a rotten head cold but really can’t complain, after three days I’m feeling 80% back, so happy days, hopefully feeling 100% for City to Surf next weekend 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Even health pracs get sick😅 The goal is to recover well and support your immune system so you’re not dragging it out forever.
Here’s what I’ve been doing to get back on my feet:
💤 Sleep & Rest
Sleep really is the free supplement we all need. I’ve been napping, sleeping loads, and letting my body do its repair work.
☀️ Sunshine Therapy
I’ve been laying in the sun whenever I can for vitamin D to support immune signaling and it feels amazing.
🥣 Medicinal Food
My go-to? A big organic chicken broth with veggies, ginger, garlic, coriander & lemon. Think of it as a hug for your immune system. Hydration has also been key—water on repeat 💧
🍄 Targeted Supplements
I’ve been leaning on my favourite immune helpers:
• Medicinal mushrooms: reishi, shiitake & maitake for immune modulation
• NAC: for antioxidant support & recovery
• Zinc & Vitamin C: immune MVPs
• Black seed oil, garlic extract, selenium – all-stars for immune support
🏃♀️ Gentle Movement Only
No running for now. I’ve been walking and some gentle yoga to boost circulation without over-stressing my system.
🧠 Nervous System Care
Stress slows down recovery, so I’ve been prioritising rest, sunshine, and that “permission to just chill” energy.
It’s human to get sick—but how you support your recovery can make all the difference.
ofc speak to your prac about the best supplemental support for you. If you’re looking for good quality black seed oil I can recommend
