As the weather cools and the days get shorter, it's natural for our bodies to feel a little more vulnerable. Fall is beautiful, but it's also the season when colds, flu, and other bugs start circulating. Instead of waiting until you feel run down, this is the perfect time to be proactive and give your immune system some extra love.

In functional medicine, we know that your immune system is deeply interconnected with your gut health, sleep quality, stress resilience, and the nutrients you're feeding your body. Small, intentional daily practices can make a big difference in how resilient you feel. From prioritizing restful sleep with the 3-2-1 rule to nourishing your body with immune-supportive foods and managing daily stress, these five simple strategies will help you build a strong internal environment so your body is ready to handle whatever comes its way this season.
