On this episode of Well with Felicia, we’re diving into how to prevent colds and flu naturally, how to strengthen your immune system all year long, and what actually works (and doesn’t work) when it comes to immunity. If you live in Vancouver or anywhere with long rainy winters, you’ll want to save this one.
We cover why people get sick more during colder months, how indoor heating affects your mucosal barriers, why back-to-school season always triggers a wave of rhinovirus, and how Vancouver’s cruise ship season brings its own unique surge of gastrointestinal and respiratory viruses.
You’ll learn practical, evidence-based tools to reduce your risk of getting sick, including:
We also talk about what not to do when you feel a cold coming on, how long viruses remain contagious, and the difference between rhinovirus, influenza A, influenza B, and norovirus—including how each typically spreads.
Whether you’re constantly getting sick, traveling soon, or you just want a stronger immune system this winter, this episode gives you a realistic, holistic, and scientific roadmap to staying well.
