Cold and flu season is here! But don’t worry—small daily habits can make a BIG difference in keeping you healthy and feeling your best. ✨ Here are some simple, grocery store-friendly immune-boosting tips to add to your routine:

Herbal Teas
Herbal teas like Traditional Medicinals’ Throat Coat and Breathe Easy are our go-to favorites! They calm irritated throats, hydrate your body, and provide herbal ingredients like licorice root and eucalyptus to support clear breathing and immune function.
Supplements
Give your immune system an extra boost with these powerful blends:
Wellness Formula (Source Naturals): This mix of vitamins, minerals, and herbs like Vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea is designed to speed recovery and strengthen your body’s natural defenses.Immunitone Plus (Designs for Health): A blend of herbs and nutrients like echinacea, astragalus, elderberry, and Andrographis that provides antiviral support and enhances immune resilience.MyCommunity Mushrooms (Host Defense): Packed with medicinal mushrooms like Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Chaga, this formula promotes healthy immune cell activity and provides antioxidant protection.

Have you heard of “leaky gut” and wondered what it really is? It’s more than just a buzzword—your gut health plays a critical role in digestion, energy levels, immunity, and even mental clarity. When the gut lining becomes weak, harmful substances can “leak” into your bloodstream, leading to inflammation and triggering issues like IBS, brain fog, fatigue, and autoimmune conditions.
What causes it? Factors like chronic stress, processed diets, medications, infections, and environmental toxins can all weaken the gut lining. The good news? Healing is absolutely possible! By identifying and removing these triggers, repairing the gut lining with nutrients like L-Glutamine and soothing herbs, restoring healthy gut bacteria, and rebalancing your lifestyle through stress reduction, movement, and better sleep, you can restore vibrant health.
Want to dive deeper into how your gut impacts overall well-being? Check out Dr. Sadi’s recent blog for expert insights and actionable tips—we’ve added the link in the comments. Let’s take charge of our health together! 🌟

We often think of metabolism as something that needs a supplement or workout plan to fix — but sometimes, it’s simply dehydration slowing you down. For women around 5’3”, the body thrives on about 1.8–2.3 liters of water a day (that’s roughly 60–77 oz). Anything less, and your system starts conserving water — which can actually impact how efficiently you burn fuel.

Studies show that drinking 17 oz (500 mL) before a meal helps people feel fuller and more satisfied, making it easier to eat mindfully.

Remember, hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your water needs change with activity, weather, and health. If you’re upping your movement or spending time outdoors, your body will ask for more.

So before you overhaul your diet, grab a glass — your metabolism might thank you first.

We know how wonderful it feels to transform simple ingredients into something truly special! Roasting pears brings out their natural sugars, creating a moment of pure comfort and joy.
These tender, lightly sweetened golden pears offer you a simple way to create something beautiful, whether as a nurturing dessert or a thoughtful side dish. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of plain yogurt, or a sprinkle of pistachios or sliced almonds. You can even freeze the extras for later.
Finding joy in simple moments can make all the difference. Want to try out Dr. Jewell-Larsen’s favorite recipe? You'll need:
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean
1 1/2 pounds slightly-under-ripe, fragrant, medium pears, peeled if desired, halved though the stem and cored (I used Bosc but will be giving this recipe a spin with Bartlets later today; Schneider says all varieites work)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the sugar in a small bowl. With a thin, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds into the sugar.

Arrange the pears in a large baking dish, cut-side up. Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the fruit, then sprinkle with the sugar. Nestle the vanilla pod among the fruit (I first slit my halves lengthwise into quarters). Pour the water into the dish. Dot each pear with some butter.

Roast the pears 30 minutes brushing them occasionally with the pan juices. Turn the pears over and continue roasting, basting once or twice, until tender and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes longer (if the pears are small, test for doneness after 35 or 40 minutes of cooking; a paring knife poked into the thickest part of one should meet with no resistance).

Serve warm, spooned with the caramelized pear drippings from the pan over ice cream, dolloped with crème fraîche, on your morning oatmeal, over slices of gingerbread or so so much more!
