Our Current Healthy Obsessions: Natural Remedies For Cold + Flu
Sometimes we find ourselves on the verge of getting sick and it's a battle to quell the storm before you find yourself calling off work and in your bed with a box of tissues. While we want to focus on strengthening our immune system before we get sick, we will all inevitably get sick once in a while. So whenever we start to feel slightly under the weather, these are the products my functional medicine team reaches for to give our immune systems a little boost!
Emily F. - LivOn Labs Liposomal Vitamin C
"Every time my husband or I start feeling under the weather, we immediately take a LivOn Labs Vitamin C shot! They are a year-round staple in our supplement cabinet, but we keep extra stock when the temperatures outside begin to drop. They are convenient to carry with you wherever you go and quick to take. Even though it's already affordable, you really can't put a price on being in your healthiest state!"
Danielle S. - Pique Life
"With the upcoming cold/ wintery months coming up, I make sure to stock up on Pique Tea! They have a wide variety of teas for immune support, which include Energetic Turmeric and Pu'er Green Tea which are a few of my favorites. These help to ensure that I can fight any cold that may be coming on with great taste. I love adding a little bit of honey or lemon to enhance the flavor of each one."
Megan R. - Kettle and Fire Bone Broth
"Although I do not wait until I'm sick to incorporate bone broth, I would definitely say I rely on it more during the colder and "germier" months. Not only does it provide gut healing benefits that help us overcome illness, but it's warm and tastes delicious. My favorite is Kettle & Fire’s Turmeric Ginger Chicken Bone Broth – you’ll always find a few boxes in our pantry!"

Hollie D. - doTERRA On Guard Touch
"Long live my doTERRA On Guard Touch! I use this year round but especially during the winter months, this oil is like my trusty sidekick. If I am ever around anyone that is sick or feeling anything at all coming on, this oil saves the day."
Emily M. - Results RNA Nasal Spray
"Before cold and flu season sets in, I always make sure to stock up on my Results RNA Nasal Spray. This has been a game changer in our house that we use preventively and when we feel a cold coming on. It's kid friendly too!"
Rosemary W. - Colloidal Silver DIY Throat Spray

Dr. Will Cole - The D3-K2
"When it comes to getting over a cold or flu fast, I want to go straight to the source. Both Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 are essential to a healthy immune system and are responsible for controlling inflammation and immune system regulation. Since it's hard to find high-quality supplements I personally formulated The D3-K2 with the earth's finest ingredients. I also wanted to take advantage of vitamin synergy as taking vitamin K2 and vitamin D together will not only help boost your immunity but it will also help make vitamin D more bioavailable to your body!"
