7 Steps to STRONG Immunity during this Holiday Season

Written By Pure Light

To be honest, you can apply this during any season if you desire to have a strong immune system for yourself and for your family!

Instead of just avoiding illness, focus on building resilience.

1. Reduce Stress with Brain-Based Chiropractic Care

A clear, well-functioning nervous system is the foundation of strong immunity. Regular chiropractic adjustments can give your family a significant immune boost.

Research highlight: In a 3-year study, Dr. Ronald Pero found that 107 chiropractic patients showed 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care—and 400% greater than those with cancer or serious diseases.

2. Heal Your Gut

Your gut health directly affects your immune system. Avoid foods that cause inflammation:

  • Processed foods

  • Pasteurized dairy

  • Refined sugars

  • Anything your body doesn’t tolerate well

Eat clean to reduce inflammation and let your immune system work as designed. Support your gut with quality probiotics (like TerraBiotic) and ION Gut Support.

3. Move Smart and Rest When Needed

Exercise the right amount for your body:

  • Too much exercise stresses the body and lowers immunity.

  • Too little means you miss out on better blood flow, reduced inflammation, and healthy lymphatic drainage.

Listen to your body—and your children’s. If symptoms start, prioritize rest.

4. Prioritize Quality Sleep

Aim for adequate, uninterrupted sleep. If you feel run down, take a nap. Travel can make this challenging, but do your best—your immune system depends on it.

5. Get Sunshine and Vitamin D

Spend at least 15 minutes a day with sunshine on your skin if possible - it can be challenging during this time of the year. Supplement with a high-quality vitamin D3 (it’s actually a hormone critical for immune health—backed by numerous studies).

6. Keep These Immune Boosters on Hand

Stock up on natural, whole-food-based supports:

  • Vitamin C (whole food sources, not just ascorbic acid)

  • Zinc

  • Elderberry syrup

  • Echinacea tea

  • Mushroom adaptogens

  • Collagen protein

  • Homemade bone broth

  • Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils

7. Fill Up on Love and Connection

Most important of all: surround yourself with love. Oxytocin—the “love hormone”—strengthens your immune system and activates your highest brain function (the social vagus nerve).

Let stressful family moments roll off your shoulders. Choose the people who light you up and fill your cup.

Wishing you and your family abundant health, vitality, and joy this holiday season!
