Did you know your immune cells actually slow down when your body temperature drops? ❄️🦠

That’s one of the big reasons colds feel worse—and spread faster—during the winter months.

When you're exposed to cold air, especially through your nose and airways, your body’s temperature drops slightly. This small shift can reduce the efficiency of immune cells responsible for detecting and fighting viruses. At the same time, viruses that cause the common cold thrive in cooler conditions.

A chilly environment = a less active immune response + stronger viruses.
No wonder winter colds feel like they hit harder.

But the good news: you can still keep your immune system strong all season long.

𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱-𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
✔️ Keep your core temperature warm—layer up, especially around your neck & chest
✔️ Prioritize vitamin D (levels naturally drop in winter!)
✔️ Drink warm liquids to keep your airways comfortable
✔️ Stay hydrated even if you don’t feel thirsty
✔️ Lower stress—your immunity needs calm to function
✔️ Support gut health (70% of the immune system lives there!)

Winter doesn’t have to mean constant colds. Small daily habits can make a big difference. ❄️💙

Caught in the act: Drs. Levitan and Wong trying methylene blue. Beyond the temporary blue teeth and tongue, it’s being studied for its potential benefits in cellular energy, cognitive support, and antioxidant activity. Always learning, always experimenting.

Did you know that about 70% of your immune system lives in your gut? 🦠

Your gut isn’t just for digestion—it’s a key player in protecting your whole body. The gut lining is packed with immune cells that identify and fight off harmful invaders, while your gut microbiome (the trillions of bacteria living inside you) helps train your immune system to respond appropriately.

When your gut is balanced, your immune system is more resilient. When it’s out of balance—due to stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, or chronic inflammation—you may experience more than just digestive discomfort. This imbalance can contribute to fatigue, frequent infections, skin issues, and even worsen inflammation elsewhere in the body.

Simple ways to support your gut and your immunity:

✔️ Include fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains

✔️ Add fermented foods or probiotics to your meals

✔️ Stay hydrated

✔️ Manage stress with movement, meditation, or short resets

✔️ Prioritize sleep

Your gut isn’t just a “tummy thing”—it’s a whole-body health powerhouse. Treat it well, and it will help keep you healthy from the inside out. 🌿

The holidays don’t have to pull you off your wellness path. This season, focus on you — your connections, your choices, and what truly nourishes your body and spirit.

Choose foods that help you feel your best.

Build meaningful relationships that fuel joy.

Schedule movement that supports your energy.

And most importantly… honor what you need.
A healthier, happier holiday starts with being intentional — and choosing yourself first. 💛🌿

Your gut is talking — are you listening?

At Five Journeys, we believe true wellness begins in the microbiome. When you support your gut, you support your entire body: immunity, clarity, energy, and even emotional balance. 🌱✨

Small shifts create big transformation. Start with your gut, and watch your whole life elevate.
