We will always be exposed to something, whether it’s transferred through contact or the air. The point of our immune system is to be strong enough to handle diseases, infections, etc. The purpose of this blog is to give you real advice on how to strengthen your immune system- and the best part is that most of these tips have benefits outside of supporting your immune system!

For reference, I am RARELY sick; even with two kids who go to the gym daycare and constantly bring home stuff. Knock on wood, but I think it’s because of these protocols (that I can no longer gate-keep). Everything listed below is a daily supplement or habit unless otherwise specified. 

For transparency, some of the products listed below are commissionable; some are not. However, I don’t recommend anything I don’t use/believe in.

My Recommendations / Tips / Products 

• Bowmar Nutrition Immunity
  • A powerful blend of vitamins and minerals formulated to boost the immune system.
  •  Promotes overall wellness to help combat seasonal sickness 
  •  Easily mixes in water or paired with your favorite Bowmar product.
• Carotenoid Complex
  • The presence of these carotenoids in subcellular organelles can protect the immune cells against oxidative injury and ensure optimal cellular functions, including apoptosis, cell signaling, and gene regulation.
• COQ10
  • CoQ10 is crucial in cellular energy supply via its essential role in oxidative phosphorylation within mitochondria. The immune response has intensive energy requirements, and an adequate supply of CoQ10 is therefore required to enable the various cell types of the immune system to function optimally.
• Bowmar Nutrition Glutamine
  • Accelerates muscle recovery and tissue repair from exercise
  •  Encourages a healthy gut that optimizes digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Supports a healthy immune system and promotes overall wellness.

• Homeopathy (start protocol once symptoms begin)
  • CODE SARAHB for 15% off
• Glutathione Shot (a week before a trip)

  • Full spectrum daily vitamin meeting RDA (recommended daily allowance) 
  • Designed to maximize nutrient absorption and bioavailability
  • Added antioxidants to boost the immune system, jumpstart energy levels, and improve digestive and cognitive functions
• Vitamin D
  • Vitamin D can modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as an increased susceptibility to infection.
• Elderberry (three days before trip/event but could be used daily)
  • I recommend finding someone local who makes juice/syrup /gummies.
  • The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that may boost your immune system. They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too.
• Local Honey
  • Consuming two tablespoons of honey daily can offer health benefits such as antioxidants, better wound healing, and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Infrared Sauna (30 minutes a day)
  • Regular use of an infrared sauna balances cortisol levels and relaxes the body and mind. This allows your immune system to work efficiently without the hindrance of high cortisol levels.
• Power Plate (9 minutes a day) *link will give you 20% off
  • Research indicates the benefits of whole-body vibration significantly increase blood flow, circulation, and lymphatic function while reducing cortisol. It also helps reset the body’s microbiome, which can help train our immune system to avoid future issues. This supports the potential stress-reducing benefits of the Power Plate. Power Plate helps to” boost” the immune system by reducing stress factors and aiding recovery.
• Cold Plunge (11 minutes a week)
  • It was concluded that the stress-inducing noninfectious stimuli, such as repeated cold water immersions, which increased metabolic rate due to shivering the elevated blood concentrations of catecholamines, activated the immune system to a slight extent.
• Red Light
  • This treatment can help increase the production of white blood cells, which play a key role in fighting viruses and infections. These specialized cells are crucial in protecting your body against diseases. By undergoing red light therapy, you can boost your immune system to help keep you feeling strong and healthy.
