About this episode

How often are you getting sick? Do you feel inflamed or feel like you pick up every bug your kids or grandkids bring home? We’ve entered into the cold and flu season, with the added challenge of Covid thrown into the mix. As nutritionists, we believe it is critical during this time to have a steady stream of nutrients going into your body as a preventative measure. On today’s show we’ll tackle the question, “what foods do I need to include in my diet to support my immune system?” and give you examples of what foods are good sources of vitamin C, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, omega-3s, vitamin D3 plus how to supplement if you’re interested in an extra boost.
