I take a specific supplement with reishi mushrooms called ImmuCore by Metagenics. I swear by them. If I feel the tickle of a cold coming I take 2 and I do. not. get. sick. They are a magic pill. I have been exposed to covid, the flu, the common cold, and these little mfkers have saved me.

I'm nothing if not a skeptic BUT I used to get sick like once a month. I've gotten a cold only once in 3 YEARS while taking these. whenever I stop for a while I notice a difference. Got these from a rec from the chef Samin Nosrat. The bottle says to take a crazy amount every day but they're not cheap so I do one a day unless I'm traveling or feel under the weather.

I’ve been taking these pills for years whenever I’m sick & I swear by them. I also recommend liposomal vit c + d and heavily reducing caffeine and sugar intake til you’re better

had a famously awful immune system when i worked around kids for years. took a while of trial and error before i learned what works best. other than general hygienic habits paired with optimal sleep and hydration, elderberry-ginger-turmeric are my best friends. i never found echinacea or vitamin c supplements to be very much help. here’s some small ways to incorporate them into your day to day:
-a cup of elderberry tea everyday as a preventative measure (rishi makes an elderberry-ginger one but it’s very strong, just a heads up. most if these things will be, sorry.)
-ginger shots. i make my own to save money as it’s fairly easy. orange juice, tumeric, pepper and sometimes manuka honey.
-ginger-tumeric chai for the warm months, a cold ginger green tea or elderberry hibiscus in the cooler months
-instead of tea, elderberry syrup. something that can be made with dried elderberry, but to be honest it’s easier to buy.
outside of preventative measures, when i feel something coming on, i will down like 5-6 cups a day of one of/or a combination of these herbal teas (i usually do like 4-5 cups elderberry tea and maybe 1-2 cups of a ginger based tea). it’s very excessive yes and it’s not the most fun but it has cleared me up 9 out of 10 times. but even if it doesn’t, it still lessens the severity and time of symptoms.

a podcast. if you know me you know that i love animals. they are my other life’s passion. if i wasn’t trying to be a pop star i’d be a marine biologist, or i’d go volunteer at a sloth sanctuary in costa rica or something like that. probably will someday anyway. This podcast is the best. The host Macken Murphy picks a species of animal and spends a whole episode talking about them and why they’re cool. The beaver episode is my favorite. Beavers are my favorite animal. I could write an essay about why they are the best animal but it’s probably easier for you to just listen to the show.

Two years ago my best friends and I started a monthly swimming club ––the only rules are it has to be a naturally occurring body of water (so no hot tubs) and u have to fully submerge yourself (get ur head wet). it is the best thing ever. the cold water is invigorating and shocks you into life. ice baths are used to treat depression and anxiety. i can understand why
