What’s the best way to prepare my immune system for fall naturally?

Think of fall as your immune system’s preseason training. Here’s a natural immunity tune-up I often recommend:

  1. Reboot your sleep—7–9 hours supports T-cell function and lowers inflammation.
  2. Get outside daily—even 15–20 minutes of sunlight boosts vitamin D, your immune MVP.
  3. Nourish your gut—80% of immune cells live there. Add fermented foods (like sauerkraut or kefir) and fiber-rich veggies.
  4. Botanical allies like Elderberry, Echinacea, Astragalus, and Andrographis can prep your system without overstimulation.
  5. Consider vitamin C + zinc + NAC for frontline antioxidant and mucosal support.
