How to Boost Immunity Naturally – Live Q&A

Our live Q&A has ended but you can watch the replay now!

What if you could be less fearful of disease and more confident in your ability to prevent it?

Given the spiraling fears about pathogens, viruses, and diseases (and the 24/7 news cycle that feeds them), you might be convinced that:

  • There’s nothing you can do to change the course of infection.
  • You’re a sitting duck with few options and little hope of preventing infection.
  • It’s just a matter of time before you succumb to serious illness.

This thinking results in:

  • Rising anxiety and rash, fear-based decisions
  • Ineffective, short-term strategies that do little to address or prevent illness
  • A serious reduction in your quality of life

Infection is not the same as sickness.

The fact that pathogens exist isn’t the problem. And being solely focused on the “enemy” isn’t the solution.

We’ve got cultural tunnel vision around pathogens and disease, with every new strain and variant getting the kind of attention that usually accompanies the launch of a new iPhone.

We’re also singularly focused on which external factors can help us cope with disease. And while timely medical intervention can and has saved lives, that doesn’t mean you’re powerless in the meantime. You can do a lot to strengthen your innate ability to fight disease.

You’re so much stronger than you think.

Your immune system is incredibly powerful and adaptive—and by keeping it firing on all pistons, you can do a lot to protect yourself from pathogens if and when you encounter them.

Time to stop living in fear of disease and start doing all you can to prevent it. And there’s a lot you can do.

What if you knew…

  • What to do to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection—and protocols for when you’re exposed?
  • phone-action-shield
    The latest technologies and tools for boosting natural immunity?

By applying well-researched and proven strategies for boosting immune function, you can change your body’s response to infection—and your response to the rapidly changing world around you.

You don’t need more information. You need better information.

Solid, trustworthy information about how to naturally boost your immunity is hard to come by. At one end of the spectrum, you have endless information: free blogs, podcasts, and social media posts, which are inconsistent at best and downright dangerous at worst. On the other end, you have working one-on-one with a Functional Medicine practitioner, which is a fantastic option but financially out of reach for most people.

Finally, a natural immunity resource that is both trustworthy and affordable.

Here’s a more in-depth look at what will be covered in each of the 7 weekly modules:

hospital-shield
Week #1

Natural immunity basics

Surprisingly, there’s almost no discussion in the mainstream media and medical establishment about how the immune system works and how to support immunity naturally. In week 1, we kick things off with a deep dive into the fundamentals of natural immunity, covering topics like:

  • Why natural immunity is critical—now more than ever
  • hierarchy-9
    What it means to shift from a “pathogen focus” to an “ecosystem focus”
  • The 9 pillars of natural immunity
  • How you can take charge of your immune health
Week #2

Natural immunity for COVID-19

Most scientists now believe that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will become endemic—which means that it’s here to stay and will circulate each year like colds and flu. While vaccines and pharmaceuticals will continue to play an important role, research has shown that our overall health, nutrient status, physical activity, and other factors are also critical in determining the outcome of COVID-19 infection. In this module, you’ll discover:

  • hospital-shield
    Why natural immune support is crucial for COVID-19
  • Essential steps to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection
  • medical-condition-cough
    What to do if you’re exposed to SARS-CoV-2
  • organic-plant-grow
    Evidence-based nutrients and botanicals for COVID-19 support
medical-condition-flu
Week #3

Natural immunity for colds and flu

While most of our attention is currently focused on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there are many other circulating viruses that we’re exposed to each year, including the viruses that cause colds and flu. Most mainstream sources suggest that there’s nothing we can do to prevent or treat these infections other than over-the-counter (OTC) remedies that aim to alleviate the symptoms. In this module, you’ll learn:

  • The shortcomings (and risks) of OTC cold and flu remedies
  • How to stay healthy during cold and flu season
  • organic-plant-grow
    The best nutrients and botanicals for preventing and addressing colds and flu
  • Specific protocols to follow with early exposure and symptom onset
Week #4

The principles of an immune-boosting diet

We’ve all heard the saying, “You are what you eat.” That’s especially true when it comes to the immune system, which requires more than 40 micronutrients to function properly. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet is depleted of nutrients and full of things that weaken our immunity, like sugar, industrial seed oils, and other processed and refined foods. In this module, you’ll discover:

  • The 3 fundamental principles of an immune-boosting diet
  • The most important micronutrients for immunity—and where to find them in food
  • 9 potent “immunity superfoods” to include in your diet
  • How to use food as medicine for your immune system
Week #5

The gut–immune connection

Did you know that scientists now believe that over 70 percent of our immune system resides in our gut? In fact, our immune systems are only as healthy as our guts—yet our gut health is under continuous attack in the modern world, thanks to processed foods, antibiotics, environmental toxins, and stress. In this module, you’ll learn:

  • The vital connection between gut health and immune function
  • The most important steps to take to heal your gut
  • fish-jar
    How to incorporate bone broth, fermented foods, and fermentable fiber into your diet
  • When (and how) to use probiotics and prebiotics
Week #6

Lifestyle essentials for natural immunity

Diet and nutrients are certainly important when it comes to natural immunity. But many other factors are just as essential—and sometimes even more important—including sleep, physical activity, stress management, how we breathe, and more. In this module, you’ll discover:

  • The key lifestyle and behavior strategies for boosting immunity naturally
  • How to breathe to support immune function
  • Tips for improving the quality and duration of your sleep
  • Why managing stress is critical for immune function and how to do it
Week #7

Advanced immune-boosting strategies, including infrared light, sauna, and more

Once you’ve covered all the natural immunity basics, it’s time to move on to more advanced tools and strategies. These include technologies like infrared light/photobiomodulation, sauna, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, improving indoor air quality, and parasympathetic stimulation. We’ll separate fact from fad and discuss the importance of mindset and cultivating resilience for immune function. In this module, you’ll learn:

  • How infrared light stimulates and regulates immune function
  • How to use sauna and other heat therapies to boost immunity
  • renewable-energy-wind-turbine
    Why indoor air quality is critical for natural immunity and how to improve it
  • The surprising connection between mindset and immunity
