In this episode of Life Rewired, Zach and Kris share their experiences and insights on building a resilient immune system to help reduce sickness. Zach reflects on how he hasn't been sick with the common cold/flu/etc. in over 4 years. Kris reveals how stress, lack of sleep, and diet choices impacted her immune health in the past as well. Together, they outline practical, science-backed habits to strengthen immunity.
The duo covers the basics of immune health, emphasizing the importance of nutrient-rich whole foods, consistent exercise, hydration, and quality sleep. Kris dives into stress management and gut health, explaining how a diverse, fiber-rich diet and limiting alcohol can support immune resilience.
When sickness strikes, they recommend focusing on sleep, hydration, and adjusting calorie intake to match lower activity demands. Don't underestimate the power of protein even when sick. We need those amino's to maintain muscle mass and high resting metabolic rate, regardless of activity levels. They encourage listeners to adopt a “something over nothing” mentality, shifting away from the all-or-nothing mindset to make immune health a consistent priority.
