5 things you wish wouldn’t affect your immune system—but DO!

People love to pop their vitamin C this time of year, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news…

Vitamin C isn’t going to do much if your immune system is being squashed by other forces.

Like…

❌ Stress
❌ Short Sleep
❌ Not Exercising
❌ Staying Indoors
❌ Sugar Sugar Sugar!!

It’s tempting to look for a miracle pill to keep us healthy, but the truth is that our bodies are complex beings that respond to cues from everywhere.

The best thing you can do to support your immunity right now?

Look for the weakest link in your health and your habits.

Fix that first 🛠️

Let’s bust some immunity myths 💥

Myth 1️⃣: If I sanitize everything, I won’t get sick.

Aside from the fact that it’s impossible to completely avoid germs, the truth is we need a healthy microbiome for a healthy immune system—to keep everything from infections to allergies to inflammation in check.

Myth 2️⃣: I need to “boost” my immune system.

Boosting immunity is overly simplified because an overactive immune system can be just as damaging as an underactive immune system—contributing to allergies and autoimmunity.

Myth 3️⃣: Vitamin C will keep me healthy.

Sure, vitamin C supports immune function, but it’s not the only nutrient we need. Other key immune nutrients include vitamins A, D, E,, selenium, zinc, and protein.

A strong immune system isn’t about quick fixes or “boosting”—it’s about balance, diversity, and daily support through nutrition and lifestyle. 🌿💪

Indoor plants remove toxins from the air—including cancerous compounds and gasoline fumes ☠️

🌿 A study out of Australia just found that a mix of indoor plants effectively removed 97% of the most toxic pollutants from indoor air in just 8 hours.

Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, where the air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoors, so this information is powerful.

Other studies have shown plants to help purify air, but this is the first to show they can remove gasoline fumes, which is one of the most common indoor air pollutants worldwide.

Not everything needs to be complicated ❌

In this case, better health might be as simple as adding a few plants to your home! 🪴

🚨 Insulin resistance shows up years before blood sugar gets high.

Dr. Ben Bikman explains it starts in the muscles, then the liver, then fat tissue, and finally even the pancreas.

By then, weight gain, fatigue, and inflammation are already in motion.

The good news? You can reverse it early.

A new study shows that up to 44% of dementia may be preventable.

This is big 👇

New research published in JAMA Neurology shows that maintaining vascular health from midlife through your 70s can significantly lower your risk of developing dementia before age 80.

They found dementia risk linked to:

✔ High blood pressure
✔ Diabetes
✔ Smoking

Especially when these risk factors were present in midlife ⭐️

This study shows that the link between heart health and brain health is stronger than ever.

And while we can’t change our genes, we can take steps to address blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and movement.

Functional medicine gives us a proactive, personalized way to do just that.

New research shows exactly how your brain reorganizes itself in real time around sound 🎶

Ever wonder what happens inside your brain when you hear music or a steady rhythm?

A new study from the University of Oxford reveals something incredible:

👉🏽 Your brain reshapes itself in real time in response to sound.

Using a new imaging method, researchers traced how sound frequencies ripple across brain networks like waves.

They found that each rhythm or tone reorganizes neural pathways on the fly—tuning your internal state to match the external environment.

Here’s why this matters:

✔ It opens new doors for understanding perception, focus, and even consciousness
✔ It highlights music and sound as powerful tools for mental wellness
✔ It could reshape how we approach therapy and healing

In functional medicine, we honor the complex ways the body, brain, and nervous system interact with our experiences.

Want to live longer? Eat the rainbow. Literally.

A major new study tracked 120,000+ people over 10 years.

It found that eating a diverse mix of flavonoid-rich foods may lower your risk of chronic disease AND support a longer life span.

The study showed:

✔ 16% lower risk of all-cause mortality
✔ ~10% reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory issues
✔ Bigger benefits from variety, not just quantity

The importance of variety cannot be overstated!

Some foods support healthy blood pressure.

Some foods support healthy cholesterol levels.

Some foods support a healthy inflammatory response.

So instead of just drinking tea every day, it’s better to rotate in a variety:

🍇 Grapes
🍊 Citrus
🍓 Berries
🍎 Apples
🍫 Dark chocolate

This study confirms what we have long said in functional medicine:

Colorful, plant-rich diets support whole-body wellness.
