Scratchy throat, fever, stuffy nose and the host of other symptoms that come along for the ride… here are 15 ways to survive the cold & flu season naturally.

THE REMEDY METHOD

When you or your kids are feeling down in the dumps, the only thing you want is to feel better!

The Remedy Method includes any intervention that will help mitigate the effects that come from “processing” a cold or flu. It may be the body itself that is responsible for healing and repair, but most of us do not demonstrate patience as a primary quality.  The Remedy Method addresses the question “What can I do in the meantime?”

Many of these steps may not necessarily increase your health, but that’s not the point with this approach.

The point is to FEEL BETTER while you HEAL.

1. Rest.
2. Gargle with salt water.
3. Drink hot tea.
4. Garlic.
5. Take a hot bath.
6. Try a saline nasal rinse.
7. Steam your face.
8. Use zinc acetate lozenges.
9. Put Vicks on your chest and feet.
10. Echinacea.
11. Sleep with your head elevated.
12. Take some Vitamin C.
13. Hot water with lemon.
14. Drink apple cider vinegar.
15. Use a humidifier.

THE HEALTH-BUILDING METHOD

Whether it’s a cold, the flu, or any illness for that matter…the one common thread to prevention and recovery is the strength of the immune system.

The Health Building Method is by far the best approach to follow as the result of your efforts will save you more pain and suffering than any remedy ever could!

1. Eat real food. 

Keep it simple. Healthy animal protein & fats, vegetables & fruits, safe starches. Everything else, either reduce to a minimum or remove entirely.

2. Train.

Lift weights and sprint. Sure, you can add in some other stuff but don’t expect results without the fundamentals.

3. Fill in the gaps.

Omega 3s, vitamin D, and probiotics. Thousands of additional supplements can be found on the shelves but very few will yield much impact. Start and stick with the basics.

4. Get quality rest.

Turn off your phones, get to bed prior to midnight, and wake up early.

5. Build your brain.

Have your spine and nervous system examined by a Corrective Chiropractor. Sounds odd, but it’s not…once you understand how the body works.

WHICH METHOD IS BEST?

It depends.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you interested in only feeling better or would you prefer to heal well and recover?

There’s no need to choose…

These two methods can be combined, just be sure to make The Health Building Method your primary, day-to-day approach.

The role of light in getting a solid night’s sleep goes far beyond just turning off your lights and going to bed.

Science is now exploring the relationship between light, when we’re exposed to it (or not), and sleep quality.

Light plays a very important role in what’s called our circadian rhythm.

Our body’s own natural 24-hour clock informs us about when to feel awake and when to feel tired.

Light also plays a vital role in the production of cortisol, melatonin, and adenosine, all of which influence this sleep-wake cycle.

Think about how we evolved as humans.

We didn’t try to get our best quality sleep after watching hours of the newest Netflix series (as fun as binging Ozarks maybe), and wake up to immediately check our phones and start scrolling on TikTok.

Inherently, we woke up and went to sleep with this is why getting adequate sunlight at key times of the day may be the missing link to your sleep problems.
