Most people think they get sick because of the weather, but the truth is that our immune systems are run down long before winter begins.
From Halloween through the holidays, people overload on sugar, alcohol, and processed foods.
Every spike in blood sugar suppresses immune cells, feeds harmful gut bacteria, and triggers inflammation.
When that happens across millions of people at once, viruses spread faster and recovery takes longer.
You can still enjoy your fun foods and traditions, but balance deeply matters.
✅ Eat protein before sweets
✅ Add fiber and healthy fats
✅ Stay hydrated and manage stress
✅ Choose real-food sweeteners when possible (my go-to is honey)
Protect your energy, your gut, and your immune system this season.
