Immune-Boosting Foods

The Fall season kicks off my favorite time of the year. There’s just something about crisp air, pumpkin-flavored everything, and cozy sweaters that makes my heart happy. The only downside of the Fall season is the sickness that often comes with it. Let’s face it, this time of year colds and flus run rampant. But this year, I’m putting my foot down and saying no more! I’m fighting the flu season with immune-boosting foods because as my buddy Hippocrates said,

“Food is thy medicine!” 

I firmly believe that food is powerful. Nutrient-dense foods have the power and potency to heal the body and boost the immune system. By consuming plenty of nutrient-dense foods during the Fall and Winter seasons, I’m confident that we can stay healthier than ever this year! Yes, I really believe it can be that simple.

Are you with me? 

Immune-Boosting Foods:

Garlic

Garlic is known as an anti-fungal, ant-viral, and anti-microbial. I guess you could say garlic is the ultimate superfood. Not to mention, it makes every savory dish taste that much better. I add freshly chopped garlic in almost any recipe I make. You can rarely have too much garlic!

How to Use:

The consumption of raw garlic has been used for thousands of years as a holistic remedy for many illnesses, including colds, flus, infections, and more. To most effectively boost the immune system, it’s important to consume raw garlic, which is more potent than when it’s cooked. Personally, when I start to feel run down, I’ll add 1-2 cloves of raw, chopped garlic to my breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Raw garlic by itself has a very intense flavor, so I recommend eating it in combination with other foods. 

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has gained tremendous popularity over the past several years, and for good reason. ACV is a fermented vinegar that contains various enzymes and probiotics, making it an effective tool for proper digestion. It also helps cleanse and detox the gut, lymph nodes, blood, and liver. 

How to Use:

When I want to give my immune system an extra boost, I’ll add 1 tbs of ACV to 8 oz. of warm water first thing in the morning. I down this potent solution before eating or drinking anything else. The ACV + warm water helps prime my digestive tract for proper digestion/detoxification and flush any toxins out of my body.

Turmeric

Turmeric, like garlic, is an ultimate superfood. Curcumin, the main compound in turmeric, contains a ridiculous amount of powerful vitamins and healing properties. Turmeric is known for reducing chronic inflammation, regulating blood sugar, and even lowering blood cholesterol levels. 

How to Use:

It’s best to buy fresh turmeric root and chop/grind it yourself, as opposed to the ground turmeric seasoning. Try adding fresh turmeric to your smoothies, vegetable dishes, or breakfast omelets. Like garlic, turmeric is has a very potent flavor, so I recommend eating it with other foods.

Collagen

Collagen is best known as your gut’s best friend. Why? Because it is a key ingredient in healing the digestive tract and promoting optimal gut health. Have you ever heard of leaky gut? When leaky gut is present, large gaps occur in the intestinal lining, allowing toxins and food particles to escape into the blood. Collagen works by healing the mucosal lining in the digestive tract and restoring tight junctions in the gut.

How to Use:

Daily consumption of collagen promotes many health benefits, like reduced bloating, improved skin, hair, and nails, and decreased joint pain. To get your daily dose of collagen, you can sip on warm bone broth or add grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen to your coffee, smoothies, or yogurt. 

Grass-Fed Meat

Despite popular belief, red meat that is grass-fed and finished is one of the healthiest foods. This high-quality meat, compared to conventional meat, contains higher amounts of omega-3’s and CLA, a polyunsaturated fat. Both of these powerful compounds fight free radicals, reduce inflammation, provide aminos, and keep you satisfied longer. Yes, you read that right: sustainably-sourced, high-quality meat can help lower inflammation in the body and provide essential vitamins and minerals. As a result, your body will have more resources and energy to fight toxins and invaders, keeping you strong and healthy!

How to Use:

I’m giving you permission to enjoy burgers, steaks, bacon, or pork chops 1-2 times/week. But, only if they are grass-fed (and finished) or pasture-raised! I recommend getting to know and buying meat from your local farmer. This is the best way to ensure the quality of the meat. If that’s not an option, seek out your local Whole Foods and look for meat that is rated Step 3, 4, or 5. The higher the number, the better the quality.

Pasture-Raised Egg Yolk

Again, despite popular belief, egg yolks are the most nutritious part of an egg. Specifially, free-range eggs or fresh eggs from your local farmer. Egg yolks are considered to be a superfood because they are packed with nutrients, like collagen, vitamins A, B 12, and D, and omega-3’s. These nutrients not only boost the immune system, but can also improve your skin, hair, and nails, reduce the risk of heart disease and metabolic disease, and aid in weight loss. 

How to Use:

The richer and more orange the yolk color is, the better. Look for fresh eggs at your local farmer’s market or look for pasture-raised eggs, like Vital Farms. 

Elderberry

Last, but not least: elderberry. This immune-boosting food is probably my favorite. It is a staple in my home during the Fall and Winter seasons because elderberry is known to fight viral and bacterial infections. It’s packed with powerful compounds, called anthocyanidins and loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and bioflavonoids. I guess you could say elderberry is a one-stop-shop for sickness prevention and reduced healing time.

How to Use:

For preventative measure, I take 1-2 tsp daily. If I feel a little cold or flu coming on, I’ll up my dose to 1-2 tbs per day. 

Speaking of elderberry, I recently discovered Cassie Green’s delicious and potent elderberry syrup, which is why I’m super thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered together to host a giveaway for my readers! One lucky winner will win a FREE bottle of Cassie’s elderberry syrup, just in time for Fall and Winter.

Immune-Boosting Foods

Other Immune-Boosting Tips:

De–Stress

Stress wrecks havoc in our bodies- specifically, our immune system. As cortisol levels increase with stress, our immune system grows weak and leaves us vulnerable to pathogens. It’s important to effectively manage stress to keep your immune system at the top of it’s game. To keep stress at bay, make sure you allow plenty of mental time-outs throughout the day. Give yourself 1-2 minute breaks every hour to walk away from the task at hand, take a few deep breaths, find some fresh air, and re-group before getting back to it.

Hydrate

Staying hydrated is key to so many bodily functions. Minimally, you should drink half your weight (lbs) in ounces each day. I recommend bringing water with you wherever you go! For optimal digestion, drink the majority of your water in between meals (at least 30 minutes outside of eating times). You can also add a sprinkle of sea salt to help with the absorption and utilization of water.

Wash Hands

This may be the germaphobe in me speaking, but wherever you go and whatever you do, wash your hands frequently. This is the #1 way to keep yourself free of bacteria and viruses. In addition, keep your hands off your face, lips, nose, and eyes to prevent pathogens from entering your body.

Limit Alcohol & Sugar

Sugar and alcohol keep hinder the immune system. In fact, each alcoholic drink you consume, halts the function of your immune system for at least an hour. The same goes for sugar consumption. So, skip the sugary treats and cocktails this time of year. Instead, opt for a glass of red wine and piece of dark chocolate. And, be sure to consume plenty of nutrient-dense foods throughout the day. 

 

Keeping your immune system strong and healthy this time of year really doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it’s all about getting back to the basics (with a few additional tips & tools). If you have a favorite immune-boosting tip, please share below. I’m all ears!

Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 I’ve Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 

I’ve taken an unintentional (yet, very long) hiatus from this social media account and my blog. But, I’m back for a good while (I think 😅). Here’s what’s been going on lately..

In case you didn’t know, I started my own  business as a Content Creator in 2018, while I was in school at the Nutritional Therapy Association. As a trained FNTP, my niche is specifically holistic health and nutrition. It’s a combination of my two expertise: nutrition + content creation!

As a FNTP with a strong passion for real food + balanced nutrition, I’ve always kept this account as an educational resource for you. And as a fun creative outlet for me, as well!

But, I’m here to say, it’s time for a new direction. As my content creation business continues to grow and as I become more invested as a Content Creator, it only feels right to bring a little bit of my profession to this space! 

So while I still plan to share nutritional tidbits and encouragement, I also want to use this platform as a resource for my content creation business.

Sound good?

If you’re a fellow FNTP or nutrition professional, feel free to reach out for content creation support! 

And, if you’re here for nutritional education, thank you for being here and participating in this awesome community!! 💛

As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods a As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods as possible (and always GF), I’ve learned a thing or two about “healthy baking.” Here are the swaps I always make in my baked goods for healthy hormones, metabolism, and tastebuds! 👇🏼

• Grass fed (raw, if possible) butter instead of oil 
• @bobsredmill 1-to-1 GF flour instead of all purpose flour
• Raw sugar, coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup instead of white sugar 
• Substitute a little bit of the flour with protein powder or collagen (usually about 10% of the total flour)
• Grass fed (raw, if possible) milk > nut milk
• Cassava, oat, or GF blend flour > almond flour

Save this post to refer back to this season! And, happy baking 🧁🍪

Why I prefer to shop locally 🍎🥑🥕⠀⠀⠀ Why I prefer to shop locally 🍎🥑🥕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know local and seasonal foods are the most nutrient-dense? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yup! Think about it: an apple from the grocery store can be found year-round and likely traveled THOUSANDS of miles to get there. Meaning, it was harvested days (if not, weeks) before being delivered to the store and eventually eaten. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, to break it down, this is why I prefer to buy MOST of my groceries locally 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎 Most local foods are in-season, providing the most nutrients and best flavor!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎 I love the opportunity to support local farmers and small businesses.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎 I know exactly where my food came from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎 It’s often cheaper to buy foods that are in-season, than those that aren’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Foods that I prefer to buy locally 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Your diet is only as beneficial as your digestion. Your diet is only as beneficial as your digestion.

Fact #1: You can eat all the healthiest foods in the world, BUT if you’re aren’t digesting and absorbing the nutrients, what’s the point?

Fact #2: Most of us have very poor digestion. In other words, we lack stomach acid and enzymes to break down and absorb the nutrients in our food. Signs of poor digestion = acid reflux, indigestion, stomach aches, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, and gas.

Sooooo, now what’s a girl (or guy) to do?

There are a few ways to help support healthy digestion and actually utilize the nutrients you’re eating, starting with:

	• Avoid drinking water (or any liquid) within 30 minutes of meal time. Liquids dilute the acid in your stomach leading to poor digestion.
	• Address any gut issues (SIBO, H. pylori, dysbiosis) that could be robbing your digestive tract of the ability to absorb nutrients.
	• Focus consuming plenty of whole foods that are rich in digesting-boosting nutrients, like: pastured whole eggs, grass fed beef, organic fruits, raw milk, etc.

Did you know you’re likely not absorbing all the nutrients you’re consuming??

There's a good reason carbohydrates make up ONE of There's a good reason carbohydrates make up ONE of the 3 essential macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fat).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last several years, carbs have become the "enemy." And, we now live in a society that fears carbs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, what if carbs aren't the REAL problem?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truth be told, carbs are a necessary and HEALTHY part of every diet. However, is one major issue that needs to be addressed.. THE OVERCONSUMPTION OF PROCESSED CARBS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There, I said it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Real carbs are NOT the enemy. Processed, refined, and packaged carbs ARE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I'm a huge advocate for carbs. Fundamentally, they provide our brain and bodies with usable energy, replenish glycogen stores, fuel our muscles, regulate digestion, and so much more!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favorite REAL carb sources (that I eat almost daily) include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sourdough bread (made local and fresh)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sprouted white rice⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sweet potatoes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
White/red potatoes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Squash⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seasonal fruit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Orange juice⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jam/jelly⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Raw, local honey⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that carbs are essential? What's your favorite source of carbs? 😋
Unpopular opinion: your liver is the coolest organ Unpopular opinion: your liver is the coolest organ.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about it! The liver know which essential nutrients to absorb and recirculate, while excreting excess hormones, toxins, etc. And this is just the start of the list!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seriously, your liver is the real MVP🏅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how do you know if your liver is functioning up to speed or if it needs a little more love? Signs of a congested or sluggish liver are:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Dark circles under your eyes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Skin issues (rashes, eczema, acne)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Orange-pigmented skin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• High cholesterol⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Alcohol and coffee intolerance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Body odor⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, despite common belief, jumping straight to a juice detox protocol isnt necessarily the best way to address a sluggish liver.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, if any of these symptoms sound like you, it’s time to give your liver some extra lovin’ 👉🏼 incorporate more liver-loving foods (beets, OJ, cilantro, beef liver), drink dandelion root tea, try castor oil packs, eliminate toxins from your home (plastic, fragrance, pesticides, etc), and get your SLEEP! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag a friend and spread the liver love! 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can thank our chronically stressed out, fast paced, digital, and processed lifestyles.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some foods actually work against our thyroid function, like processed foods, trans fats, PUFAs, cruciferous veggies, and even other raw veggies…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While other foods work FOR our thyroid, supporting healthy function. These foods include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Seasonal fruits⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Root veggies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Raw, local honey⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Pastured whole eggs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Grass fed beef liver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Wild caught oysters⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Raw cheese⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Sourdough bread⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Pulp-free orange juice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In all honesty, life has been BUSY lately, my crea In all honesty, life has been BUSY lately, my creativity is lacking, and social media hasn’t been at the top of my list😅 

But, this morning, I want to leave you with a few basic reminders to help support healthy hormones, metabolism, and immune function! 

✨ Toddlers need to eat 1,200 calories a day. YOU are not a toddler. Most adults need to consume ~2,000 calories daily, if not more. Don’t understand-nourish yourself!

✨ Sleep is necessary to form memories, build muscle, and support healthy immune function. Make it a priority to sleep at least 8 hours per night!

✨ Breakfast is actually the most important meal of the day. No, coffee doesn't count. My go-to breakfast lately = sourdough toast + honey, eggs + sea salt, and coffee with raw milk. Easy and delicious!

✨ Over-exercising is as dangerous as being sedentary. Exercising too much creates extreme stress within the body. Learn to rest and allow time for your body and muscles to properly recover!

Did you know these friendly reminders?!
