E345: Surviving Sugar Season - Proactive Immune Support for Sickness & Health | The Prime Podcast

Welcome to "Sugar Season"! That time from Halloween through the holidays when sugar intake often skyrockets, coinciding perfectly with cold and flu season. In Episode 345 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss discuss how this sugar overload impacts your immune system and what proactive steps you can take to stay healthy "in sickness and in health."

Learn why excess sugar feeds bacteria and viruses, potentially suppressing your immune response. This episode provides essential strategies for bolstering your family's defenses naturally. Discover the importance of getting outside for fresh air, Vitamin D, and beneficial micro-exposures. Understand the critical role of gut health and how to support it with ferments like kombucha and proper fiber. Explore natural immune boosters like Elderberry Syrup ("nature's cough syrup"), propolis found in raw honey, and targeted, high-quality supplements like Vitamin D, Zinc, Congaplex, and the benefits of Colostrum. Plus, find out why you should never skip your chiropractic adjustment when you're feeling under the weather – it actually helps your immune response! Stop being reactive to sickness; learn how to be proactive this Sugar Season.
