Hey mama,

Every fall, the same question pops into my mind—how do I keep my family from catching everything that’s going around? If you’ve felt that same worry creep in when sniffles start showing up at school or your little one gets hit with a fever, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m sharing three powerful—but often overlooked—secrets to a strong immune system. These are foundational strategies I come back to every year, and they’ve made a huge difference in how resilient our household is during flu season (and beyond).

Here’s what I walk you through:

• Why sleep is more than just rest—and what happens when you actually prioritize it
  
• How gut health plays a central role in your immune system’s ability to respond
  
• And the often-missed key to immune strength that you’ll never hear in a mainstream doctor’s office
  

These aren’t quick fixes or trendy products. They’re real, evidence-informed shifts that help you work with your body.

At the end of the episode, I’ll also share a quick challenge to help you take action without getting overwhelmed.

So grab your tea, and let’s talk about building a stronger immune foundation for you and your kids this season.
