This week on The Health Made Simple Show, we’re diving into a fresh take on flu season. 

Forget what you’ve heard about new flu strains each year; the real game-changers for your health during this time are factors you can actually control.

Watch the live show below:

The Three Key Factors: Sleep, Stress, and Sugar

Sleep and Circadian Rhythms:
The clocks going back can throw off our natural rhythms. Our tip? Align your eating habits with daylight hours. Your body undergoes chemical changes after sunset, so adjusting your schedule from your summer routine is crucial.

Stress Management:
While we can’t always control stressors, we can change our reactions to them. Regular exercise plays a vital role in keeping hormones balanced, which in turn helps your body manage stress more effectively.

Sugar & Refined Carbs:
Sugar is a major immune system suppressant. Steering clear of sugar and refined carbs, especially during flu season, is challenging but can make a significant difference in maintaining your health.

Flu Season: More Than Just a Timeframe

From November 1 to January 1, we call it “flu season,” but what else is happening during this time? Holiday celebrations often mean more alcohol and sugary treats, less sleep due to parties and year-end stress, and increased emotional and mental stress.

Remember, improvement in health and wellness comes with change. There will always be temptations and excuses, but the responsibility for your health rests squarely on your shoulders.

Supplements to Support You:

• Need immune and stress support? Try our Adrenal tonic to help your body regulate. 
• Struggling with sugar cravings? Try Gymnema, a herb known for curbing those sweet urges.

Ready To Empower Yourself This Flu Season?

By the end of this episode, we hope you feel empowered and in control of your health this flu season. With the right strategies and mindset, you can effectively navigate these challenging months.
