Supporting Yourself Over Winter

Winter is upon us, bringing with it colder weather and the annual uptick in seasonal illnesses. As we brace ourselves against the chill, it’s the perfect time to turn our attention to supporting our immune system. Our goal? To keep those dreaded lurgies at bay, or at the very least, to make sure that if we do catch something, it's shorter and less severe.

 

Our immune system is the body’s defense mechanism against infections and diseases. During winter, when viruses and colds are more prevalent, a strong immune system is crucial. Fortunately, we can enhance our immunity with the help of certain healing foods.

 

Healing Foods for Winter Wellness

Meat Stocks

Why It’s Beneficial: Meat stocks are rich in essential amino acids, the building blocks of our immune proteins. They also provide zinc, a critical mineral for immune function, and have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the body during illness.

How to Use: Incorporate homemade chicken, beef, or lamb stock into soups, stews, or simply sip it as a warm, nourishing drink.

 

Kraut (Sauerkraut)

Why It’s Beneficial: Kraut is a fantastic source of vitamin C, essential for immune health. It also contains probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome, an important aspect of overall immunity.

How to Use: Add kraut as a side dish to your meals, use it as a topping for sandwiches, or enjoy it on its own.

 

Organ Meats

Why It’s Beneficial: Organ meats are nutrient-dense and packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, which is vital for the functioning of the immune system. They also contain other essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins.

How to Use: Incorporate liver, heart, or kidneys into your diet through pâtés, stews, or casseroles. If you’re new to organ meats, try blending them into mice or other familiar dishes to ease into their distinct flavours. Powders added to food and capsules can be taken for those not keen to cook with organ meats

 

Cod Liver Oil

Why It’s Beneficial: Cod liver oil is an excellent source of vitamins A and D, both crucial for immune function. Vitamin D, in particular, plays a significant role in regulating the immune response and maintaining overall health.

How to Use: Take cod liver oil as a daily supplement, either in liquid form or as capsules.

 

There are some other simple steps you can do to support yourself this winter

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and help flush out toxins.

  • Get Adequate Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for a robust immune system.

  • Stay Active: Regular exercise can boost your immune system and improve your overall well-being.

As we settle into winter, let's embrace these nourishing foods and healthy habits to keep our immune systems strong and resilient.

 

30 Day Kick-Start

Digestion & Gut Health

 

Ok let's get straight to the point (because that is what this kick-start does!)

If you tick any of these boxes, the 30 Day Kick-Start Digestion & Gut Health is the right fit for you: 

  • Bloated belly that looks 6 months pregnant by the end of the day (or even after a meal).

  • Constantly worrying about where the nearest bathroom is - because you never know if it’s going to be diarrhoea or constipation.

  • Feeling like you eat “so healthy” but still have low energy, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies.

  • Burping, reflux, or indigestion that makes eating uncomfortable (or embarrassing).

  • Clothes not fitting properly because your stomach changes size throughout the day.

  • Missing out on social events or meals because you’re scared of the food reactions.

  • Trying elimination diets, supplements, or cleanses - and still not getting lasting relief.

  • Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety linked to gut issues (even when you’re trying to be your best self).

  • Feeling like your body is “failing you” despite doing all the “right” things.

  • Skin flares (eczema, acne, rashes) that make you self-conscious and frustrated.

  • Hormonal symptoms (PMS, perimenopause changes, thyroid imbalances) made worse by poor digestion.

  • Waking up tired, dragging through the day, then wired but exhausted at night.

  • The constant, nagging thought: “I must be missing something, but what?”

We are here to get to the bottom of your digestive issues for good - not just relieve symptoms. Let's resolve the issue properly so your system is functioning at optimum. We want you thriving, not surviving.
